Slim PLus does not use any of the redefined cached image. It create the correctly size image on demand. This is done because the template requires a specific size otherwise it’ll break.

To change the size you would have to edit the template’s card.php file and the associated CSS file to account for the new size.

As far as shape. That’s CSS. You could add CSS to your theme’s custom CSS area to add a border radius to create a circle effect.

I hope that helps!

@ Ray

not sure I follow completely … I read this a couple times. Initially it looks like you are asking how you could link to a specific entry within Connections from an ad. If that is the case you have two options:

domain.tld/directory-home-page/name/jane-doe/
domain.tld/directory-home-page/#jane-doe

But if I read further, it sounds like you want to link from an entry in Connections to an ad? If that is the case … no matter the template in use, the only fields that support HTML are the bio and notes fields. So in the case of Slim Plus, the bio field is the “highest” up you can get. So the only option would to alter the code of the template to hard code the links you need. Not sure that would really work or not…

Hope that helps.

With versions 1.0 and greater … off the top of my head I think this could be added with only a few lines of code and if the entry ID were supplied in the CSV file. There would be one big caveat. All the addresses, phone, email and such would actually be wiped and then reimported. This is because those fields support n-number of items. So, to answer your question, no, this has not been implemented because of that, sorry.

@ Chris

Sorry, no, neither will help you in building that into Connections.

@ Dustin

Did you remove the shortcode category option? Which template and version are your using? This past week I’ve updated nearly all of them. One update was how categories selection was handled. Try updating, it can be downloaded via your Purchase History.

@ Prince

It doesn’t seem to be on the page any more. The likely issue is a CSS conflict with the theme. Won’t know until I see it.

@ Prince

Sorry, I can not answer that definitely without knowing which template you’re using. My guess is you’re using either cMap or Market…

The file for cMap:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-cmap or
../wp-content/plugins/cmap

The file for cMap:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-market or
../wp-content/plugins/market

Which path will depend on when you downloaded the template. I just recently added the connections- prefix to help keep all Connections related plugin together so they’re easily identified.

The file you want to change will be card.php regardless of template and its path.

Hope that helps.

Connections does not yet support custom fields. This feature is nearly complete and the API will be in the next release.

The new upcoming Hours extension for Connections uses this new API. A couple other videos are here. It will still take a dev to add custom fields, but it will be fairly straight forward.

Hope that helps.

@ Prince

I’m going to assume you’re using one of the premium templates … see this FAQ. The full list if str_ options can be found under the template’s Customization Option in the nav at the top of the page. Here’s the link to the cMap Customization Options. Each template has pretty much the same options available.

For string that are not part of the template you can 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 [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.

Hope that helps.

@ Hossein

There is no built in support for scheduled imports. I know another user used a server cron to do it. Other than that I don’t have any directions I give as to how to accomplish that because I haven”t sat down and figured out to do it myself yet.

Active Directory support, sorry, no.
