When I’ve come across this before, the cause was always another plugin knocking the Connections menu off. The solution is usually finding the offending plugin and by deactivating one at a time until the menu items come back.

Alternatively, you can install the Toolbar extension for Connections. it’ll add the menu items to the admin bar.

I hope that helps.

Nifty, how a plugins can be made to work together when following best practices when coding for WordPress.

On my todo list is to add a filter that can be hooked into that will allow any arbitrary phone type to be added. Same for the other data types too.

Honestly, I do not know multisite well enough where exactly you would find it. If you can grant me, temporarily a super admin account, I would be more than happy to take a look.

On the non-working site go to the Settings : General admin page. What are the settings for:

WordPress Address (URL)
Site Address (URL)

Something is messing with the image URL/s. They begin with http://17utld2xe8pb2ljw19uui323jr.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/ instead of http://itshowcase.compago.co.uk/. This is triggering a security feature which prevents processing images from external sites.

Actually, it is this page that is on the showcase page. The other page seems o be a custom rolled solution that isn’t even built with WordPress. Any way, to answer your question. No, nothing is available out of the box is available for those types of queries so something custom would have to built. I’m unavailable for this type of work at this time, however, if you’re interested, I do have an individual I can recommend.

You can assign categories in the CSV so they are created and assigned during the importing of a CSV file. Here’s the related FAQ.

Or…

Do you mean just importing categories? You can do that too, though, not exactly straight forward.

Create a CSV with three columns; first name, last name, category.
You only need to add a single row.
Add a bogus first and last name.
In the category column, add all you categories separated by commas.
Import the CSV and then delete the bogus entry. You’ll be left with just the imported categories.

Hope that helps.

Actually simply changing the external display is fine. Here’s my recommended method:

To change field names. Install 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.

No, not a social or technical word; it just means mixing.

No problem … Connections 0.8; I’ve modified the loading of templates just slightly. Now, the only thing that needs done is copy the core template from the templates to the plugins folder and activate. It will then override the core template so one can tweak away and it’ll be update safe.

This was part of the plan from the beginning when I redesigned the templating system back in March … and there’s is more to come to make this even easier and more flexible.
