Connections does not integrate with the core WP search, this is why the directory has its own search … there is no good way at commingle the results from the core WP search results for pages/posts and entries within Connections.

Hope that helps!

The template already exists, it an older version of the Slim Plus template. They did tweak it a just a little to add the city and state, otherwise it the same.

Hope that helps!

No, the file you referenced is another Connections template, an experimental one. I mean the actual theme, functions.php file:
../wp-content/themes/{theme-folder}/functions.php

Alternatively, you could install the Code Snippets plugin and add the code as a new snippet.

When using the default template this can only be accomplished by creating a filter. Add the following to the theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'cn_output_default_atts_address', 'cn_set_default_address_format' );

function cn_set_default_address_format( $atts ) {
	
	$atts['format'] = '%label% %line1% %line2% %line3% %city%, %state%  %zipcode% %country%';
	
	return $atts;
}

If you decide to purchase one of the commercial templates available on this site, you can adjust the address format by using a shortcode option, like so:

[connections addr_format='%label% %line1% %line2% %line3% %city%, %state%  %zipcode% %country%']

I hope that helps.

This happens because there are three shortcode instances on the page and the shortcode is unaware of the other instances. This is actually by design so it can be used multiple times on the same page.

What you need to do is create a “results” page, lets call it “Person”. Then you need to set that page as the directory home page. Here’s how:

Create a new page and give it the title of “Person”.
Take note of the page ID as you will need it.
For the page contents, just add the [connections] shortcode, nothing else with no shortcode options.
Go to the Connections : Settings admin page and set the Directory Home Page option to the new “Person” page.
Now edit your original page and add the home_id shortcode option. You should end up with:

[connections category="4" home_id="X"]
<hr />
Dartmouth Logo
[connections category="5" home_id="X"]
<hr />
UC Boulder Logo
[connections category="6" home_id="X"]

Where X equals the page ID of the “Person” page.
Now, when you click thru, the links will end up on the results “Person” page where the shortcode only exists a single time.

Hope that helps.

1. The Category column needs the full name, not the slug.

2. No need to delete existing categories, if an existing category of the exact same name already exists, it will be used.

3. You can use either single or double quote as you can set that option before importing, though I recommend the usage of double quotes.

Hope that helps.

@ Lee

The entry ID is shown on the Connections : Manage admin page, click the Show Details link. It’ll be in the far right column of details.

Hope that helps.

@ Steve

Seems they’ve upgraded to the Market template. I’ve moved the link from the live samples page to the Market template page.

I hope that helps.

@ Ken

Well, I loaded up the themes you sent, guess what? Form toggles the type just fine. Now, admittedly I testing Form 2.0 (major rewrite, releasing soon) and not the version of Form you have installed. Since this seems to work fine with Form 2.0 I’m going to mark this as resolved.
