Make sure the *_connection* tables are moved. Depending on your method of migration, these tables will included with the rest of the WordPress database tables.

You will also have to copy the following folder from the old site to the new site:
../wp-content/connection_images/

After everything is moved, you might have to visit the Connections : Templates admin page to ensure the template path caches are current.

That’s about it.

I use Peter’s Login Redirect on this site. Nothing fancy but does the job.

I’ve attached a Snippet that adds a login form shortcode. How to use…

Install the Code Snippets plugin.
Download and unzip the file attached to this reply.
Import the code snippet XML file, search.code-snippets.xml, into Code Snippets. See the FAQs on where to find the import feature.
Activate the newly imported snippet.

You can then use the [connections_login_form] to display a user login form. It’s simple … if you need something more feature rich this plugin by Pippin should be good.

Ok, the Tile Plus template. It showing only a little info by default. You would activate this template under the All template type on the Connections : Templates admin page. And then under the Individual and Organization template type you would active the the Bio Entry Card template. Lastly you would enable the Single Entry option on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab.

Hope that helps.

If you goal is to have the user enter and maintain their entry then I highly suggest using Link and not Form at this time. If you want to use Form, the workflow has to be something like this:

• Enter their info into Form and submit. The user submitting an email address will be critical in order for Link to link a Connections entry and a user account.
• Complete some type of user registration process. You can use the built-in WordPress registration or a third party plugin. This so you would not have to manually create a user account.
• And then the user will have to login after registration in order for Link to link the entry and user account.

If you just use Link the work flow would be something like this:

• The user completes some type of user registration process. You can use the built-in WordPress registration or a third party plugin. This so you would not have to manually create a user account.
• You can use a user login redirection plugin to redirect the user to the Edit My Directory Entry admin profile page so the user can enter their info. An email address is not critical because a user entering their info on this page will automatically link the entry and the user account.

With all that said … I am working on Form 2.0 which is nearly complete, just needs some polish and Link 2.0. These when installed together will be far more integrated allowing front-end editing and maintenance of their entry while logged in. You would still have to have some type of user registration process.

The login screen below the please login message … I suggest using one of the many freely available login plugins that have a shortcode that places a login screen on the page. You can use that shortcode in the login required message settings.

I hope that thoroughly answers your questions!

@ Chris

Sorry, no. I’ve had similar requests at being able to “link” an entry to an organization. I do see value to features like these but I’m uncertain as to when and how these features would be implemented.

@ Stephan

I think you meant to paste a link to another directory, yes?

None, of the premium template show the categories because removing the categories from being displayed was the number one request I would receive.

I can recommend the cMap template. It’s the most popular.

I hope that helps.

@ Blake

This will likely never be a shortcode option. It is such a rare request … I can’t really remember the exact details surrounding the last time it was.

To do this you have to make changes to the card.php file found in one of these two folders:
../wp-content/plugins/cmap/ or
../wp-content/plugins/connections-cmap/

On lines 102, 123 and 147, there will be style="display: none;"; remove all three instances and now the content tray will be open.

You can remove the links that toggle the tray by removing the following line:
63-67
76-80
104-108

Hope that helps!

@ hmmj

Sorry, no. The CSV Import can not associate family members when importing data.

[Steven Zahm]

@ Stephan

Yes, then you could use a shortcode like this to change the name order:

[connections name_format='%last%, %prefix% %first% %middle% %suffix%']

Hope that helps.

@ Dii

Good to hear you have this sorted. My first thought was some sort of plugin conflict.
