@ Gopal

Apologies for the tardy reply!

In regards to 4,5,6…

4. Nothing out of box. The Connections core can support such queries but there is nothing available yet that is plugin and play. Other devs of custom coded thos feature to meet their needs.

5. All the templates that feature the searchable category drop down contain a beta feature (which works quite well) that allows the selection of multiple categories. When this feature is enabled, the query is an operational ‘AND’ query. So in short, yes.

6. Not in the current release version. The next release which is due out really soon does and an API which devs can use to add custom field support. This next release does not contain a point and click way to create custom fields, they would have to be added by a dev. There are already a few dev that are using a pre-release version of Connections on client sites that utilize this new feature to great success. This is basically the status of the custom fields support. At this point I consider it finished for the next release.

re: performance:

My test database is on a little over 25k entries and it performs quite well. I do know that there are users with 30-50k and it works fines for them too. I am not aware of any installation with 500k so I do not have a solid answer for you. Sorry. The best I can say is that I’ve done my best to model the queries after the WordPress core queries so if those scale will, my should too.

I hope that helps!

@ Martin

The image is not floated right like it should be but other than that, that does appear to look correct. When in the single view, the content of the entry is not limited within a tile. It is open and uses as much as the theme’s styling as possible to maximize the visual integration with the theme.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to tell you why the image is not alighned right as it should be from a screen capture. All I can say is that the theme or another plugin CSS most be overriding the template style. If you can share the link to you directory with me I can take a look and offer you a precise solution.

@ Luci

Sorry, no. The currently the only other option is to add images directly in either the bio or not fields. You have the switch them to the Text tab and then you can add images using the HTML img tag.

Another option. Since both those fields support shortcodes, you could use any of the freely available plugins that insert images via shortcode.

Hope that helps!

@ Mike

You can use the Say What? plugin, use ‘connections_form’ for the domain instead of connections.

Changing the name wouldn’t/shouldn’t effect the CSV Import field headers.

Hope that helps!

Closing as this topic seems to be drawing a lot of spam bots for some reason.

@ Matthew

Go to the Connections : Templates admin page.
Under the All template type, activate the Names template,
Under both the Individual and Organization template types, active the Bio Entry Card template.
Lastly, go to the Connections : Settings admin page and enable the Single Entry option under the Display tab.

If you used the template shortcode option, make sure to remove it for this to work.

That should get you what you’re looking for.

Alternatively …

You could link directly to the View All page by putting that in the name instead of the page. Then when a user clicks on the name link they be shown the entry in the Bio Entry Card.

Hope that helps!

@ Connie

Take a looks at this FAQ. You need to remove the code and pre tags from around the [connections] shortcode. That should take care of the display issues.

To show a bio when you click thru, presently, you need to use two templates. Here how …

First, remove template='tile-plus from the shortcode.
Now, go to the Connections : Templates admin page.
Under the All template type, activate the Tile Plus template,
Under both the Individual and Organization template types, active the Bio Entry Card template.
Lastly, go to the Connections : Settings admin page and enable the Single Entry option under the Display tab.

That should get you what you’re looking for.

Hope that helps!

@ Eric

The file you need to edit is manage.php found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-link/submenus/

I recommend inserting your code starting on line 25.

Front end editing of linked user account and Connections entry is not yet possible. Form 2.0 and Link 2.0 will enable this ability.

Hope that helps!

@ Aaron

Looks like the only thing that need to be done was updating the class name in the last line. Attached.

Hope that helps!

If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!
