@ Mindy

The page that you put the [connections] shortcode on, near the publish/update button, that is where you can set the page to be private [or to add a password to the page]. This WordPress feature is the only way to keep the page private using a single password. My suggestion, and solution I used in the past, was to create a “church” user account. That “church” user account was what the congregation used to login. When logged in, the private page would then be visible and so will entries marked as private.

I hope that helps.

The white space is very likely a theme CSS setting, without out being able to see the site, I can’t give any definitive solution. Sorry. If you can share a link, I’ll take a look.

Shortcode option, yes, there are a lot of them. They’re my solution to providing a clean easy to use interface without intimidating settings pages and allows power users to tweak without have to change the underlying code. Each template has its own set of option it supports as well as the core options. So for cMap specific shortcode options, you would go to this page. And for a list of core shortcode options supported by all tempaltes, you would go to this page

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!

To Pull a specifc category out of the group, somthing like this should do the trick:

foreach ( $entry->getCategory() as $category ) {
	if ( $category->name == 'Provider' || $category->name == 'Researcher' ) $profession = $category->name;
}

Now you can use $profession instead of the getCategoryBlock() function.

Probably the best way to limit the location is to use the Preferred option when entering the addresses. The with a minor tweak to the getAddressBlock() function arguments you can limit the result to just the Preferred address.

$entry->getAddressBlock( array( 'format' => '%city%, %country%', 'preferred' => true ) );

Yes, Say What? is safe to use, even with the warning. WordPress would have to change quite radically for it to stop working.

Yes, Form does have a different domain (has to be that way). The next version of Form will use far more code from core Connections. Any way the domain is connections_form

You did install the dev version of Connections, right? It will not do anything in the current version because none of the code that makes it work exists.

@ Scott

Great to hear. Using Show Families as the Original string should have changed that drop down…

Hmmmm, This is a bit more difficult…

I’ll start with the address. To output the city and country use this:

$entry->getAddressBlock( array( 'format' => '%city%, %country%' ) );

The category, may this will work:

$entry->getCategoryBlock( array( 'label' => '','separator' => '', 'before' => '<span>', 'after' => '</span>' ) );

This does assume the entry is no assigned to any other categories other than the one you want displayed. So there is no if/else logic needed.

Hope that helps.

@ Bob

Do you have the directory home page set on the Connections : Settings admin page under the General tab?

Also, try visiting the Settings : Permalinks admin page, no need to change anything. Then try the visit all link.

Let me know if that resolves it thanks.

[Steven Zahm]

Great to hear this is sorted out.

@ Scott

To change field names. Install the Say What? plugin.

It’ll add a new Text Changes menu item. Click Add New, enter the string exactly as shown in Connections, enter connections [notice the lack of capitalization, that's important!] as the domain and then enter your new text.

For example, to change Family on the Add Entry admin page, you with enter Family as the Original string and Business Contacts (or whatever text you really want) as the New string.

The great thing about using this plugin is that it will be update safe and you can use it on any other plugin that has been properly internationalized.

Hope that helps!

@ David

Sorry, no. Something like that would have to be custom coded for you.
