@ Tim

The actually change only took me a minute but the total time was about 2 hours mainly due to figuring out the where and the changes were made and replying back to the forum. After I knew where the code changes were and after I put a test link in each of the four fields in a test entry, the issue became immediately apparent to me and what the fix would be.

Hope that helps!

Sorry, but there is not a way to import Families. You have to import all the individuals of the families and then manually link them together as families.

Hope that helps!

They are using a combination of two core templates. Here’s how to mimic there setup.

Go to the Connections : Templates admin page.
Activate the Names template under the All template type.
Under the Individual and Organization template types, activate the Bio Entry Card template.
Go to the Connections : Settings admin page.
Click the Display tab.
Enable the Single Entry Template option.
Click the Save Changes button.

Now you setup will be similar to the Template University site,

Hope that helps!

Oh, I see 4 different directories, I missed that the first time I read it, sorry. See this FAQ, basically this can be done by using categories.

Hope that helps!

@ Mark

Sorry, but there is not a way to add custom list types. What problem are you trying to solve by wanting custom list types? Maybe there is another way.

@ Mike

What is the directory home page set to? Can you visit the WordPress Settings Permalinks admin page and without making any changes, click the Save Changes button.

What is adding the id to the query string after your URL/s?

This link is being reserved for Form 2.0:
http://nocorkagefees.com/directory/submit/

So I suspect it has to do with your sites specific configuration causing the conflict.

@ Mark

Yes, this can be adjusted on the Connections : Roles admin page. Instead of selecting Edit Entry Moderated, choose Edit Entry for the role that your users are assigned.

Hope that helps!

I’ve fixed it.

These lines in class.entry.php

return $this->newsarchives;
return $this->additionalresearch;

need to be:
return $this->format->sanitizeString( $this->newsarchives, TRUE );
return $this->format->sanitizeString( $this->additionalresearch, TRUE );

Now, the remaining problem … all the links that were entered in these fields need fixed, manually.

The data is saved in the databased escaped on purpose for security puposes using the $wpdb->prepare() function. I created helper functions for the text fields that automatically strip slashes amoungst other processes.

Now, updating. That going to be problematic. You have two options that I see. Pull a copy of the updated Connections and have you dev migrate the changes. Or, update to the latest version, have the dev create the custom fields by using the supported functions/methods and then re-input the info. Neither seem like much fun!

@ Tim

This is a bug with the two custom fields not Connections. It is a quick simple fix, may I install the WP Editor plugin?

[Steven Zahm]

@ Tim

Yeah, I see, be very careful not to click that update link for Connections otherwise bad things happen. If interest, Connections > 0.8 now supports custom fields…
