In the upper right corner of the admin page there should be a Screen Options tab, click that. It should slide down. Add a checkmark to the Biographical Info checkbox.

It should be displayed. hope that helps.

@ Jenny

The only way to do that is to alter the PHP code of the template. Is that something you feel comfortable doing? If so, I can provide some directions to point you in the right direction.

If you want, grant me a temp admin account and I’ll take a closer look to see if I can resolve the issue.

Ok, that’s what I thought. Now I see the issue. The theme has changed the default box sizing method globally. It needs to be changed back to the default value for Tile. This can be done by adding the following to the theme’s custom CSS area.

#cn-tile-plus .cn-entry{
    box-sizing: content-box;
}

That should fix it up.

The connections_templates folder only exists to support “legacy templates”. Template are now actual plugins. So if you’re taking one of the core templates and modifying it, you will need to convert it to a plugin. This is not that difficult. Mostly you just need to add the plugin header text and change the action so the template will be registered on the plugins_loaded hook. The next version of Connections 0.8. You can see how this is done here. I’ve already added this to the core templates so can be dragged to the plugins folder and activated. This will allow any changes made to the core template to be update safe.

Hope that helps.

That’s great to hear!

re: unlisted … Not the current released version. The next version, 0.8, has a filter available that can be used to change the default. Right now, it requires a code change. If you change unlisted to public in this line, that’ll do the trick. When you update, you’ll lose this change, but it can be reapplied hooking into a filter instead so it’ll be update safe.

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!

Should be perfectly compatible. I know many users are doing exactly what you’re doing.

Question. After you saved your entry … when you go back to the edit my directory entry admin page, does your info that you entered show? If it is, sis you set it to be “Public”?

@ Christine

You could pull a copy of this file. Click the link and save the page as class.retrieve.php and upload it to the ../connections/includes/` folder, overwriting the origin.

It should be perfect safe to run this way. If you do run into issues, just restore the original version of the file.

OR

You could run the development version. Download here.

1. Yes, see the order_by shortcode option for more details.
2. Yes, that is possible. The code in Connections does support it, but, it does require that you build the UI for it. I’ve haven’t got to that yet.
3. Definitely. An entry can be assigned to any number of categories. Categories are also hierarchical.
4. Yes, see this FAQ for more details.

I hope that thoroughly answers your questions.

“Hiding” an email behind a link wouldn’t prevent harvesting. My understanding is that harvesters are more than sufficient at parsing an email link in a page. There are two solutions, one of which is available, The ROT13 Email Encryption extension. The email is still displayed, encrypted, which is decrypted in the site visitors browser. The other would be the Contact extension, that I had hoped to have released months ago. When released, it’ll allow emailing the entry directly without exposing the email at all.

I hope that helps.
