@ Matthew

Looks like the server that runs your site is Microsoft IIS/6.0, you need to configure your server to removed the index.php from the URL. You’re on GoDaddy yes? I suggest moving to an Apache server instance. IIS 6 is pretty old.

Hope that helps!

SiteShot is not a template, it enhances templates with the ability to show screenshot thumbnail of websites. You install it like any other plugin. Here’s the doc page on how to sue it with the templates.

Hope that helps.

@ blueberry

Great to hear that helped you. Curious, whats the purpose of the change?

@ John

The best way of doing this is to use the Say What? plugin, see this QuickTip for more details.

Hope that helps!

@ Gordon

Yes, very possible and can be done without having to edit any PHP. See this FAQ. Here’s the page that has all the shortcode options that are available to Slim Plus.

@ Gary

Right now I am not doing any custom development. I can recommend a dev that may be interested in writing. Should I ask him to drop by this thread so you and he can make contact?

@ Jessica

Which version of Connections and Form do you have installed?

@ Chris

(italics are quotes from your last reply, just for clarification, nothing more)

Sorry, still disagree. “And like I said with the plugin pulling the info they can simply pass through the plugin>database/database>plugin.” Where do you think this info is coming from? This info is supplied by WordPress/PHP. A plugin is not needed to hand serve up to the minute server config. The data Connections shows actually contains no server config info. Examples of server config being the Apache conf files, htaccess files, and maybe even php.ini files. There’s actually quite a few files beyond those for server config. If “the hacker has to find loop holes in any of the plugins”. The hacker would very likely already know far, far, more info than the few basics than are presented in the widget.

Many plugins far more popular than Connections show a whole heck of a lot more and in some cases do stuff that is able to alter the WordPress configuration. A few quick example off the top of my head…

WordPress SEO by Yoast includes a htaccess file editor.
Wordpress includes a plugin and theme editor.
Easy Digital Downloads has a screen chock-full of info.
BackupBuddy, now there system info tool that is of envy, details galore. One can even manipulate the db (check/repair) and crons.

If it were best practice not to have this, trust me, it would not exist in Connections. But I have not read one article anywhere in the WP community that thinks this is a bad idea.

I really do thank you for pointing this out and why this concerns you. I do value constructive feedback and the time it takes to write it. It really is nice to have eyes looking at it from a different angle, so again, thanks!

In short adding fields is non-trivial, so #1 and #3 really is not possible. repurposing the fields as you have done is the only option.

re: #2
If you edit the template, yes. This is the line of code you need to add.

$entry->vcard();

Rather than modifying the card.php file directly, I recommend duplicating it and then adding the new line of code. See this QuickTip for more details.

re: 3a
Sure, you’d have to use a bit of CSS to change that span from a block to an inline-block. This bit of CSS should do it:

#cn-slim-plus span.adr span.country-name { display: inline-block !important; }

Here’s a QuickTip that explains how to add custom CSS for a template.

Hope that helps some!

@ brent

Sorry, but there is not a way to auto categorize an entry. Are you certain you need to add them to the professional network category? I’m pretty certain that the entries assigned to a category that is a child would still be listed. I’ve have to look at the code again … connections is large enough I can’t keep it all in my head any more lol! What is the exact shortcode you’re using?
