@ Christine

Great. I definitely hope your testing proves as successful as mine … if not, let me know and I’ll definitely will continue to search for a resolution.

What I hope to implement is a why to assign “owners” to entries and the owners would be able to modify any entry they own, rather that the entire directory. It is a different concept than Link but can/will work together. I’m not entirely certain how something like that would be accomplished with a cron even though because something/someone would have to define who “owns” which entries. If you have thought on that, I’ll would love the input.

And thanks for your support! If all the items that are planned and being implemented right now … 2014 will be an exceptional year for Connections and its ecosystem of extensions!

@ Julie

Apologies, but if the purchases were much more recent, as in weeks, I could have offered the price of cMap off the full price of the template pack.

@ Julie

I’d need to see a page where one of the default templates are being used in order to try to determine what the issue might be. Can you put up a test page for me to look at?

@ Dale

The categories and entry data are stored on the WP database, not in files. You’ll have to export the connections tables from the source database as an SQL using phpMyAdmin or similar tool and then import the SQL file into the destination database. Since you activated Connections on the destination site already, I recommend drop [delete] the connections tables before importing the SQL file. The connections tables can be easily identified in the database because they all of connections in the name. I highly recommend making backups of your databases before doing this, especially if your not too familiar on how to do this. You might want to consider using a tool like this:

The Pro version allows you to select exactly which tables you want to migrate.

Hope that helps!

@ Georgia

Sorry, no. There is not a way to have the category counts take unlisted and entries in the mod queue removed from the total count at this time. The only thing I can do for you, assuming this is related to the Widget Pack, is make a quick edit so the count is not shown. If you’re fine with that, I would need to be provided with a temp admin account so I can make that edit.

@ Austin

Ok, I see. What you have to do is create a “Results” page where only a single instance of the [connections] shortcode exists and then set it to the directory home page and use the force_home option on the page with multiple [connections] shortcodes. Or, alternatively, leave the directory home page set as is and use the home_id to the page with multiple [connections] shortcodes. The home_id value would be the page ID of the “Results” page.

Hope that helps!

@ Natasha

Sorry, this currently is not possible. Something would have to be custom developed for you. If that is something you’d like to pursue. I do have a developer I can recommend. Just let me know.

@ Julie

Yes, you should be able to use 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_link [notice the lack of capitalization, that's important!] as the domain and then enter your new text.

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.

That should do it!

@ Julie

Apologies for the delay … I’ve had a higher workload than normal…

You can add parent_id to the array. It’ll accept the category IDs of root parent categories to include in the list. The code can be found here:
https://github.com/shazahm1/Connections/blob/0.7.9.3/includes/template/class.template-parts.php#L803

This will only work for root parent categories though. What I mean by root parent is a category that is not a child of another category. Hope that makes sense!

As for counts, right now, those counts include every entry regardless if it is unlisted/private or in the moderation queue. So it’s best to simply hide the count if showing them is going to cause confusion for your users.

Hope that helps!

@ Josiah

Sorry, but Connections does not use a CPT, so it will not work with WPML to provide alternative translations.
