@ Phil

Great to hear! I updated the styles in Connections and Tile Plus to be even more specific so if you update, you should not encounter conflict.

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

I just replied to your initial post, here:

First, apologies, but for some reason your posts were being marked as spam.

My suggestion is to one of the freely available registration plugins that are available to allow you doctors and patients to register as users on your site. Then after a successful/verified registration you can redirect the doctor or patient to the correct page. The doctors you could redirect to the Link admin profile page where they can submit their info to the directory. You wouldn’t want to use Form since you want doctors to be able to maintain their own entry.

To replace the “Add to addressbook” link with an email the doctor a question link, you would need to have something custom developed as Connection can not currently do something like that out of the box.

I hope that helps!

A couple weeks, max. It appears you made the purchase of Link on 9/10/2013, so, yes, it will be a free update. You’ll just need to download it from your purchase history. I’ll be blogging an release announcement when the update goes live.

Template are now full-fledged plugins; so not only do custom templates need updated to mimic the core template structure, but they also require the WP plugin header text and moved to the /plugins/ folder.

Follow this example of the Profile template instead of the version in 0.7.9.5:
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/develop/templates/profile/profile.php

I suggestion creating this file, name it something like connection-profile and drop it into the /plugins/ folder.

I hope that helps!

Sorry, but there is not a way to automatically to have a Connections entry created for a user upon registration. I’m starting to see this request a little more often so I do have this on my todo list. Who and when this feature will be implemented is yet to be determined.

My suggestion, use one of the freely available registration plugins that offer redirection after submission/verification. This redirect should land on the Link profile admin page so the user can create their entry in Connections. Releasing within a month will be Link 2.0 and Form 2.0, when installed together; this will allow front-end entry and maintenance of their entry in addition to the Link profile admin page.

I hope that helps!

Unfortunately I am unable to replicate this. I tested version 0.7.9.5 and my latest dev version. Perhaps something to do with the setup of the local dev; maybe?

Since you do have a dev setup, could you pull the latest dev version from Github?
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections

I did remove a ?> which was followed by a blank new-line in this dev version. This in theory could cause the new line issue in the vCard file.

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

I have to make the CSS styles for Connections very [overly] specific to prevent themes from trampling the template styles … Seems this theme makes it so they have to be even more specific because its styles are overriding a few important template styles.

Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area, if it has one, or to the end of the theme’s styles.css file. It’ll override the styles that are overriding the template’s styles. Hope that helps!

#cn-list span input, #cn-list span input[type="text"] {
    width: auto;
    display: inline;
}
input#cn-search-submit {
    width: 30px !important;
}
#cn-tile-plus .cn-entry {
    -moz-box-sizing: content-box;
}

Lose the CSS when you update? That really depends on where you added the custom CSS. If you added to the Connections CSS files, then yes. If you added it to the theme’s styles.css file, maybe, when you update the theme. If the theme has an area to add custom CSS, then, very likely no.

You could edit the template you are using to add the notes fields, but you would lose that edit when you update so you would have to reapply the update each time there is an update. Now, with that said … the next release has had the core templates updated in a way that if you move it to the /plugins/ folder and make the change, you will not lose any edit when there is a plugin update.

Hope that helps!
