Yes, you can add images by using the HTML img tags. The bio and notes also supports shortcodes so it might be easier to use a plugin that allows you to insert images into posts with a shortcode.

Hope that helps!

@ Steve

Ok, I think this is related to a separate bug which I will be fixing and pushing an update out today. It’ll be version 0.8.2, I’ll post back here when I release it.

@ Mike

Go to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Advanced tab. Make sure the Character Base option is not blank. If it is, use char and click the Save Changes button.

That should fix the issue.

Yep, about 3 and a half years ago; 10-26-2010. Any way…

The [connections_list] shortcode was deprecated a little over two years ago and removed in the latest version. Well, not actually removed. I renamed it to simply [connections]. So to you only need to remove _list from the shortcode name and things will almost be back to normal.

Unfortunately you’ll receive an error in the template after fixing the shortcode. To fix this error open the template.php file which should be found here:
../wp-content/connections_templates/dewargreen/

Look for line 44, which should be this:
<?php echo $vcard->download() ?>

And change it to this:
<?php echo $entry->vcard() ?>

Now you should be back in business.

Apologies for the trouble, but I stripped some of the legacy code in order to moved the Connections templating support forward … I did do my best to maintain as much backward support as possible … in another year or so I will be pulling the code out that supports the way your template was constructed so you may want to consider using a different template. Looking at the custom template, it appears the Bio Entry Card template which is free and comes with Connections is a very close match.

Let me know when you’re up and running and I’ll list your site on my live samples page.

I hope that helps!

@ Shannon

The short answer is, the character index sis not compatible with any custom sort ordering.

The only real solution is not to use it, sorry. Also, there is not a way to do grouping either and their isn’t any code I could give for you to copy paste as this would quite an extensive edit. The best I can do point you to where the code exists for the current code. The output is here and here. The character index is created here.

I hope that helps, even if just a little bit!

I will likely be releasing a bug fix tomorrow, but here’s how it can be fixed:

Add the following to the theme’s functions.php file to fix Market.

add_action( 'cn_template_enqueue_js-market', 'Market_Enqueue_Chosen', 9 );

function Market_Enqueue_Chosen() {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-chosen-min' );
}

Add the following to the theme’s functions.php file to fix Market.

add_action( 'cn_template_enqueue_js-cmap', 'cMap_Enqueue_Chosen', 9 );

function cMap_Enqueue_Chosen() {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-chosen-min' );
}

Hope that helps!

I’ll likely be releasing a bug fix release tomorrow, but here’s how to fix the issues:

1. To get the drop down select back to functioning like it was before, add the following to the theme’s functions.php file.

add_action( 'cn_template_enqueue_js-tile-plus', 'Tile_Plus_Enqueue_Chosen', 9 );

function Tile_Plus_Enqueue_Chosen() {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-chosen-min' );
}

2. Doing the above will fix this. The drop down you are currently seeing is hidden and the enhanced drop down is created dynamically.

3. The screen capture looks correct. What is the issue?

[Steven Zahm]

@ ciba

I identified the issue. I’ll likely push another bug fix tomorrow.

[Steven Zahm]

@ eve

Yes, Tile Plus will be updated in short order. Closely followed by Tile. Seems in my testing I didn’t roll back the code of those two templates to the current released versions so I missed a couple items.

In the meantime, to get the drop down select back to functioning like it was before, add the following to the theme’s functions.php file.

add_action( 'cn_template_enqueue_js-tile-plus', 'Tile_Plus_Enqueue_Chosen', 9 );

function Tile_Plus_Enqueue_Chosen() {
	wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery-chosen-min' );
}

The category drop down not being disabled is likely due to the missing space between ‘logo’ and ‘enable_…’

With Form, are you testing while logged in? If so, you are adding with the same permissions as if you are adding an entry in the admin. Logout, the submissions will go to the moderation queue.

Hope that helps!

@ Mike

Yes, the search query message box was the only way I could come up with that would satisfy the requests of making it easier for the end user to understand why they were seeing the results they were and provide a way to clear those results.

Yes, it is possible to turn it off and is easy to do. Go to the Connections : Settings admin page. Click the display tab. In the Result List section there is an option to disable it.

That black box… that is the Clear Search button. Pretty much does exactly the View All link you added does. Why is it black? I left the button unstyled, on purpose, for the theme to style. Unfortunately the theme styled the buttons back and links are also styled black, so it is black on black. Here’s how to fix it if you choose to keep it:

Login to your site with FTP.
Navigate to the ../wp-content/themes/twentyfourteen/ folder.
Within that folder create a new folder named: connections-templates
Create a new file named: cn-custom.css
Add the following to this file:

#cn-clear-search-button a {
    color: #FFF;
}

Save the file.

Now the text should show as white.

No, there is not a feature list yet, just the changelog here. Most changes are “under the hood” are are very extensive. The changelog does not do it justice. One such under the hood change is the custom CSS loading that I just gave you instructions for. Here’s a link where I explain another under the hood change.

I’ll actually being firing up the blog section of this site again … keep an eye out there … there’s more coming …

Hope that helps!
