Yes, this can be done pretty easily nowadays. You will need both the Link and Form extensions. If you decide to use Connections and those extension, the Extension Pro Pack is the best deal because it gives access to all the extensions only for just a little more.

I hope that answers your question thoroughly.

The bio can be shown by using the Bio Entry Card template rather than the Default Card template. The logo, right now, none of the free core templates show that … all of the premium template either show it by default or can be configured to show it. Checkout the template demos to see them in action or visit any of the live sites that are listed for the template to use it in real world use.

I hope that helps!

Ok, it took quite a bit of searching but I found the issue. It is a style being set by the theme which is causing the issue. Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

form#cn-cat-select br {
    display: none;
}
form#cn-cat-select {
    overflow: visible;
}

That should fix up the display and allow the categories options to be seen and selected.

Hope that helps!

@ James

Seeing as there are only a few entries, you could sort the entries in a specific order. See example 2 on the order_by doc page.

I hope that helps!

I’ll ask the dev to reply to you here so you and he can make contact.

I see a few issues…

First, the category shortcode option only takes category ID/s not the names. After that is corrected, I’m confident that the correct categories will be displayed.

Second, the ../wp-content/connections_templates/slim folder still exists so the new version of the template is loading that, as a custom version, instead of the new version like it should. You need to delete that folder.

Third and lastly, it seems the core CSS file is not being loaded. The reason is like that the option has been disabled on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab. If you re-enable the CSS option, that should fix the display issue.

I think after these items are addressed, thing will be fine. Let me know. Hope this helps!

No problem!

If I have not asked and you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

The search box is supposed to be there, that makes the categories user searchable. The problem is that the theme is messing up the layout so you can not see the category list.

The first thing you need to try are the suggestions outline in this FAQ. My best guess at the moment is that if you go to the Connections : Settings admin page, Advanced tab. Under the Compatibility section, please check the Templates option and click the Save Changes button. That may fix this issue. If it does not, please let me know.

Version 0.7.9.7 was the last that randomized on every page hit:
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/0.7.9.7/includes/class.retrieve.php

Version 0.8.3 was the first where it is randomized once an hour per user.
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/0.8.3/includes/class.retrieve.php

You’ll have to do a diff on the class.retrieve.php file to see the changes that were made.

Randomization occurs every hour on the hour (according to the time set on the server, not necessarily the time on your clock) for every user based on IP address. As an example, lets say user A and user B both visit the site at the same time, they would both see the entries in a different random order for the remainder of the hour in which they visited. After that remainder of the hour has expired, they would both see a different random order.

This change had to be made to properly support paginated random order results.

I hope this helps in explaining the change.
