Sorry, no. Connections does not integrate with the “Find Your Nearest” plugin. The core query does support geo-radius search I just have not yet had the opportunity to develop the extension to expose that functionality.

@ Bill

If I understand … use this shortcode on your home page:
[connections template=names]

Hope that helps.

This sounds like a failed WP update of the plugin correctly. That happens from time wo time with WordPress… Yes, login into your site with FTP and delete the connections folder from within the plugins folder and then reinstall Connections. Deleting the folder will not delete the data. That is safe in the database.

Hope that helps.

In the snippet, please remove this line:
$replace = str_replace( array( "rn", "r", "n", "t" ), array( ‘ ‘, ‘ ‘, ‘ ‘, ‘ ‘ ), $replace );

To allow users to submit and maintain their own listing you would need the Link extension for Connections. This, however, presently requires a visit to the admin side of the site. It is an admin page similar to the user profile admin page. Sometime later this year, Link will integrate with the Form extension for Connections to allow frontend user maintenance. I hope that helps.

Connections does not currently support network activation. You must activate Connections on each subsite you intend to use it on. Each subsite will have its own directory.

Hope that helps.

The only way to migrate entries are to export the Connections tables from phpMyAdmin or similar tool as a SQL file and then import the exported SQL into your new site using phpMyAdmin or similar tool. I’ve done it plenty of times, only takes a few minutes.

Oh, one last thing, if you’ve uploaded any images, you have to copy them via FTP and load them up on the new site via FTP in this folder:
../wp-content/connection_images/

Just install the plugins any add-ons and templates as you normally world.

NOTE: Make sure you do the SQL import before activating Connections for the first time. If you’ve already activated Connections, you have to drop the Connections tables before you do the import.

Hope that helps.

It must be a server configuration issue which is causing you an issue with this image. I just tested it a few times and each time it uploaded fine.

On the Connections : Dashboard admin page there is a System widget. On that System widget there is a section titled Graphic Library. Does it indicated PNG support?

@ NetWarden

Yes, it will work throughout Connections … one of the major reasons it is being rewritten; so it can support this new feature.

Initially, since this is just an API, it will require a dev to add much like a dev has to add custom fields to posts pages. At some point, I will be creating a point and click admin interface to add custom fields.

I suppose one could create a second categories group using this new API, but it probably would be best not to until I can add custom taxonomy support (categories is a taxonomy).

The likely issue is that the family relations drop downs are taking a really long time to render in the background of the browser. If you are not using the family entry type, you could remove the code that generates it.

Change the following two line:

echo $this->getEntrySelect( 'family_member[::FIELD::][entry_id]' , NULL , 'family-member-name'  );
echo $this->buildSelect( 'family_member[::FIELD::][relation]', $connections->options->getDefaultFamilyRelationValues() , NULL , 'family-member-relation' );

To this:

//echo $this->getEntrySelect( 'family_member[::FIELD::][entry_id]' , NULL , 'family-member-name'  );
//echo $this->buildSelect( 'family_member[::FIELD::][relation]', $connections->options->getDefaultFamilyRelationValues() , NULL , 'family-member-relation' );

They can be found here.

I hope that helps. Let me know.
