@ Nicole

The settings you have done so far are correct … only one more switch to toggle … go to the Connections : Settings admin page and turn on the Single Entry template option under the Display tab. That should get you the results you’re looking for.

Hope that helps!

@ Leonid

I can recommend a dev that has a lot of experience working with Connections and creating custom extensions and templates for it. I’ll ask him drop by this forum topic so you and he can make contact.

@ Koen

any time there’s an import issue, it is usually due to a malformed CSV file … Could I get a copy of the CSV file so I can take a look?

The document root can not be determined automatically. So you have to manually set the DOCUMENT_ROOT here’s how:

Add the following to the timthumb-config.php file found here:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/libraries/timthumb/

This is what you need to add, make sure to change the doc root accordingly:

define ( 'LOCAL_FILE_BASE_DIRECTORY', '/my/doc/root/' );

What /my/doc/root will be will depend entirely on the server setup. If you go to the the Connections : Dashboard admin page and look at the the System widget; there will be a constant named CN_PATH. The doc root should be the beginning portion of that path. What I can tell you is that from the wp-content and on will NOT be part of the doc root.

Hope that helps.

Can you try something form me? Try turning off the character index.

One other user seems to be having the same issue. We have not yet been able to track down the issue causing this problem. If you would be willing to grant FTP access and allow me to install a diagnostic plugin, Query Monitor, I would be happy to to take a real close look to see why this is not happening.

As for showing the bio field, then is template dependent. Some templates show it, others do not. You can show the bio field using the the Bio Entry Card template of the Profile template that come with Connections.

I ope that helps!

re: I need to set, for all directory entries, which fields show in the list (as opposed to the item), for example I don’t want the phone number to show on the list but I do want a custom field to show. So leaving the field blank is not a solution.
With templates such as cMap, there are options to completely disable the output of selected data, such as the shortcode option show_phone_numbers=’false’. Is this what you mean? If so, there are a lot of options available. See the doc page for cMap as an example. All premium templates support most of the same options.

re This makes the form hard work for a user as a lot of the fields aren’t required. We would have to write user notes, and this is too unreliable as users may not follow the notes.
Which Form are we talking about? The Form extension or the Connections : Add Entry admin page. If we’re talking about the Form extension, then the Messenger ID field can be disable (not shown to the user).

re: Again this makes the form hard work for the user and relies upon the user following guidance notes, which is not sufficiently reliable as the information for these fields will be confidential.
If the user does not have a role assigned which has the “View Unlisted” capability, the user will not see that as an option … so unless you specifically set up it up that way, a general user can not add unlisted data or be presented with the option to do so, only the admin. The only exception would be with Link (which would be required if you plan on users maintaining their own entry) is that in the admin on the Link User Profile page, the user would have the option to set the entire entry to be unlisted.

Hope that helps clear things up further.

@ Annie

Ok, that definitely helps narrow down the issue. Can you try one adding a new entry and then add a new custom field? I’m wondering if the issue might be that a custom field couldn’t be added until one actually exists in the database. Also, could I get FTP access so I can take a real close look? One other user seems to be having the problem too so I’d like to figure out exactly why this is popping up only for a couple and get it fixed.

@ Kristina

Ok, it must be a PHP version issue the :: should work fine since the $metabox variable is a class and the add() method is static. The fix you found will work fine with no issues, which is good. I’ll release an update shortly that applies the fix differently.

Apologies for the trouble!

@ Allen

Look forward to seeing it.
