@ Adele

Good to hear you resolve the issue. One question. What debug did you run?

@ Shoeb Ansari

I took a look at your file and was able to reproduce the error. There are errors in the CSV file.

First, I recommend removing all unused columns as having them only adds unnecessary processing.

Second, the error is being caused by bad dates in both the anniversary and birthday columns. Make sure they are MM/DD/YYYY.

Lastly, the trail end of the file has a bunch of blank rows then some data in the bio field followed by a bunch more blanks rows with some more data in the bio field.

With those items fix, your file will import.

I did just now add a check in Connections for a proper date so the error doesn’t happen. It is that error which stopped the import.

Hope that helps.

This forum thread is almost a year stale … a lot has changed. The next release of Connections will have fairly comprehensive support for custom meta as well has an API to support custom metaboxes and fields.

Take a look at this post. The Business Hours extension, which is going to be released with the next update to Connections, uses the meta API and custom metaboxes and fields API.

At least two other developers are already using the development version of Connections on client sites using custom meta and fields with great success. So please feel free to pull the dev version of Connections from Github. You can refer to the Business Hours extension as to how to create and display custom meta fields.

Hope that helps.

@ Charles

I have a proper fix for this. It’ll be part of the forthcoming 0.8 release.

@ Tara

No problem! I did update the instructions … I noticed I had a couple errors.

@ Reed

I only ask because I was surprised at how snappy the site was. I’d like to look into it for myself.

@ Reed

Off topic question, who is your web host and which service package do you use?

@ Reed

Updating Link to the latest version resolved the issue. While I was at it, I re-enable a bit of code that I use for testing which will link a user simply by visiting the edit my directory admin page, not requiring the user to logout and back in.

Hope that helps getting your directory going!

@ Matteo

Many of the premium templates support key word searching as well as filtering by category. Those templates are cMap, Excerpt Plus, Market, Slim Plus and Tile Plus. The Widget Pack also contains both a keyword search widget and a category list widget which can be placed in the theme’s sidebar.

I hope that answers your question.

@ Michal

Which version do you have installed? If you have 1.0.3, please update to 1.0.4 to see if that resolves the issue.
