@ Paul

Yep, that’s it. Glad to hear you have this sorted.

I’ll take a look tomorrow… in the meantime, take a look at this file. Specifically lines 16 thru 130. That is how I register and run all actions in the admin. This class is init/d here and that class is init/d here. (uh, yeah, I still have a bit of work to do cleaning up the initialization of the plugin … its a work in progress!)

I just pushed a bunch of commits to Github. It adds a lot of polish to the meta API. The changes should break what you’ve done.

You can put more than one on each page, but that becomes tricky to setup. Separate pages are better. You could then use this method. So maybe you have a landing page that has “icons” for each sponsor level and when the user clicks the icon it takes them to the directory with is limited to that level only.

Hope that helps!

@ ucomm

Yep, once I dug in, saw it was a shell.

I think this is a great way to go about what you want to accomplish.

You can use this method to retieve a list of entries that are approved. You would sent the status array option to approved.

As a thought … you could use a category chooser, like on the edit entry page, to define which categories the emails should be sent to. You could probably lift that code from here.

If you want to build this on the bleeding edge version of Connections [pull the dev brach from Github] … you could add a new metabox/field to capture the member level info separately from the categories. Here’s the link to the forum thread about this new API. And here’s a link to a specific reply that has a few videos demoing the current state of the API.

Here’s a link to the Business Hours extension that takes advantage of the new API. You could use it to figure out how to add a new metabox and field for your member level.

I look forward to see what you come up with.

Oh, I should mention I have an email API and email template API already built in. I’m just not using it yet because I’m still building it up. I want to inlude “token” support so a user could use “tokens” to represent the entry info that should be swapped inplace of the token :) Take a look at these files.

@ ucomm

Very interesting. I’m going to download and install right now.

@ Paul

Since the latest version of the CSV Import actually pulls the fields from the core Connections plugin, the change will have to be made to this file:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/settings/class.options.php

You’ll what to go this part of the file. Change the order of line 803 to 807. just make sure the is a comma at the end of each line.

I haven’t tested this, but it should work.

@ Ted

You’re going have to do what the link for your host says or delete the .htaccess and index.php files from withing the connections_templates folder.

The index.php file only contains the following:

<?php
// Silence is golden.

The .htaccess file only contains the following:

Options -Indexes

Both of these are added to the folder for the expressed purpose of make the folder not directly accessible to random site visitors for security reasons. So removing them, could provide access to those files within this folder (if there are any at all).

Hope that helps.

@ ucomm

Thanks! I thought I removed its use throughout the plugin. Guess I missed this file.

Fixed in this commit:

@ Victor

If you create a “Featured” category, you can use CSS to target that category.

You would use this CSS selector:

.cn-list .featured {
    <!-- you're custom css here -->
}

This assumes your name the category exactly as “Featured” … If you use a different name you would change the CSS selector accordingly.

Tip. You can use this technique to target any category.

Hope that helps!

@ Victor

Sorry, no. A lot of stuff is stripped from the HTML for security purposes. I suggest using a plugin that has a shortcode that can create the lightbox markup for you.

Hope that helps!
