Sorry, but that can not be increase … that is the max number of character supported by the database when the table is created that stores the Connections data.

You can try using phpMyAdmin or similar tool to change the column type of this field to one which can store larger number of characters.

@ Stephan

If it was working then something was changed which is now preventing it from working. This could be a plugin that you’ve recently added/updated or a server config change.

Visiting the directory page page I see the images are returning Server 500 error messages. That may indicate the memory that is assigned to PHP be being exhausted or a folder permissions issue.

Make sure this folder permissions is set to 755, also try 711:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/libraries/timthumb/

Make sure this file permissions is set to 644, also try 700:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/libraries/timthumb/timthumb.php

@ Stephan

Also, can you please provide a link to the directory page that is having the issue? Thanks!

@ Stephan

When try to visit the following link all I get is a 404 not found error.
http://www.umr6521.cnrs.fr/wp-content/connection_images/default_profile_1.jpg

Are you using a plugin like WP Better Security or similar that “locks” down the wp-content folder? Or have any other special rules in an htaccess file on the server? At the very least I should be able to view the image. If I can not view the image, then the script will not be able to read the image to display it.

@ Cam

Sincerest apologies! I seemed to have overlooked replying to you.

1. Which template are you using? Most templates by default do not show the notes fields. The free core templates, none of those show the notes field.

2. You can use the following CSS to override the color:

#test-00-test-2 span.cn-last-updated {
    color: black !important;
}

I hope that helps!

I sounds as if Tile Plus or Excerpt Plus is the template you are looking for.

You would activate either of those templates under the All template type on the Connections : Templates admin page. You would then activate either the Default Entry Card or Bio Entry Card templates under the Individual or Organization template types. Then you would enable the Single Entry option under the Display tab on the Connections : Settings admin page.

To allow users to edit their own entry, I suggest Link.With that, they will be able to add their own entry and maintain it.

I hope that helps!

@ Tayyab

Sorry, no Connections does not have featured that allow registration with various price plans. It sounds like you looking for a membership plugin like Restrict Content Pro, yes?

You don’t really need it to see if it’ll work for you. Functionally it is exactly the same as the search above the result list in Tile Plus. It is just the placement that differs. It even has the same visual style. If you have the widget, you would see the widget in the sidebar as well atop of the Tile Plus results list. So, I would actually recommend disabling the search on the template.

If you want a feel for how it’ll work. I recommend creating a “Results” page and setting it as the directory home page. You would need to do this anyway for the search widget because ideally you wouldn’t want to use a shortcode that would limit results more than the key words entered by the user. So, on the “Results” page you would simply have [connections]. [Tip, you could use a template other than Tile Plus on this page since the search widget works with all templates.] With Tile Plus active, enter you search keywords.

Using the widget will be exactly the same, but since it is in the theme’s sidebar a user could search from any page in your site, land on the “Results” page with the list filtered by the keywords they entered.

I hope that helps!

I sounds as if something removed the Connections capabilities used for validation was removed. If you give me a temp admin account I can login to use the plugin editor to manually reset those capabilities.
