Yes, the font-family style would be inherited from the theme. Depending on what the theme’s style declarations you would really depend on what change you would have to make. If you share a link to your directory I could point you in the right direction.

@ Steve

Here’s an example; on your directory page:

Featured Entries
[connections category=100 lock=true home_id=x]

[connections category=58  home_id=x]

X would equal another page, a directory results page, that when you click on the entry name you would see the single entry. On that page you would just have:

[connections]

Does that helps

@ Dave

When you made the alteration you must have also removed the code that that create the “Notes”. You need to put that code back in.

@ karen

Sorry, I’m confused…

The class.form.php contains the code that needs changed for both the Add/Edit Entry admin page as well as the The admin page Link adds. So making the changes once would affect all three. Could you add screen shots and the admin urls to a private reply so I can see where it is not showing and showing where it shouldn’t. Also, if you could paste the changes you made, between backticks [the key left the “1” in the keyboard], that would help.

I logged in to see if I could duplicate it. It seems every time a user edits their directory entry or even just hit the update button it causes a duplicate. I’ve never seen this and is definitely different the the previous issue that we fixed a while back.

I’ll have to duplicate this so I can track down what is causing this bug.

@ mark

Oh, that’s very tricky because there isn’t specific enough markup to change just that label. This will work in modern browsers [IE8 and older fail]:

#cn-market #cn-cat-select ul li:nth-child(5) {
    color: #ff0000;
}

Not perfect but you will get roughly 90% + of your site visitors [really depends].

@ mark

In the Market template or another template? Change which color? The text color? If you can share a link to you directory, the category and the color I can definitely point you in the right direction.

I believe WP defaults to 64MB in the admin. I suggest trying a higher value. Also, have you tried the other suggestions.

No, no plugins or other instances that I’m aware that causes this.

No, the data for Connections is not stored in a CPT. Connections is actually older than that feature in WordPress. I had considered migrating the data over since the schema partly overlap, especially the taxonomy and meta tables, and I could take advantage of core WP features to accelerate development. But I did decided against it because the post db schema just is not a perfect fit and so it would actually get in the way of many of my future plans. Then there is the performance aspect. Many Connections users have many thousands of entries in the Connections db; upwards to 40,000 in one instance. That would mean that user 40,000 extra “posts” in that table and the then postmeta table would absolutely massive to the point I could not even begin to guess. Some of the queries I already do simply wouldn’t perform well. Of course the downside is I have to work hard at adding functionality that I could have leveraged in the WP core for CTP. Honestly, I still go back and forth on this issue.

Now, to actually answer your questions…

I do have plans on implementing a way to create custom taxonomies but I could tell you when those plan would come to fruition. But my plan do include the possibility of doing exactly what you’re asking.

@ Susan

Not certain about search yet. I think what I would have to do is create a Search API for Connections that way it could be extended easily. Search needs some serious love too…

I hadn’t thought about making the field data filterable by shortcode options. Since each custom field has to be registered with a unique ID thru the API, that ID could be the shortcode option name. I “just” have to come up with a way to let the shortcode know that it is a valid option and that it needs to query the meta data table. I’ve logged these under my notes for this feature so I can take them into account as I finish it.
