The reason Tile has a locked with/height is to allow it to tile. Permitting a fluid height would break that. Keeping that in mind … here’s the change you need to make.

Open the card.php file and look for this line:

<div id="entry-id-<?php echo $entry->getRuid(); ?>" class="cn-entry" style="height: <?php echo $atts['card_height']; ?>px; width: <?php echo $atts['card_width']; ?>px;">

and change it to:

<div id="entry-id-<?php echo $entry->getRuid(); ?>" class="cn-entry" style="width: <?php echo $atts['card_width']; ?>px;">

Hope that helps!

Yes, there seems to be a bug with randomization … I even had it marked in the code as a todo to fix and I forgot about it. Basically I need to seed the random value so pagination is properly supported. The “downside” is random will not be every page load, it’ll be once an hour. I’ll see if I can get that addressed in the 0.8 release due out by mid to late Nov.

Which version were you running prior to the update?

sounds like WordPress failed to update the plugin. It’s very rare, but does happen. If that happens again, no matter the plugin, just delete the failed update from the plugins folder using FTP. The will get you back in a running state without having to resort to whole site restores.

If your do not have permissions to do db updates, a user that does will have to login. You really should change the db to permit alter table for your WordPress install… WordPress will have a few small db schema changes coming that will require changes.

Hard to tell for certain but there looks like there is a javascript error in the page footer. Well, there’s definitely and error, just hard to tel for certain if the fallowing is the exact cause.

<script type="text/javascript">
    google_ad_client = "ca-pub-5659126070159092";
    width = document.documentElement.clientWidth;
    }
    if (width > 800) {
        google_ad_slot = "4599616198";
        google_ad_width = 120;
       google_ad_height = 600;
    }

</script>

That } after width, my guess, shouldn’t be there.

It appears you are using W3TC. Great plugin. I use it too. However, you have the JS being minified on auto, my guess. Even though the JS file for Connections is compatible, not all plugin’s and theme’s JS files are. And when the are minified together they cause fatal errors that prevent the scripts from working fully. That is what is happening for you. If you disable the JS minification things will work correctly. You can still use this feature in W3TC but you should use the manual method that way you can exclude plugin’s and theme’s JS file that do not minify well with others.

Hope that helps.

This is not actually a conflict. It is the results I would expect.

There is a solution but it will require you to rework it just a bit.

You need to query by the entry slug rather than search by first and last name.

To show just Kyle:

To show just Michael:
http://www.sierranevada.edu/admissions/undergrad/meet-team/?cn-entry-slug=michael-panici#down

You can find the entry slug in the details sections on the Connections : Manage admin page.

Question, may I show on my showcase page?

Ok, I see what you’re trying to do. The trouble you’re going to have is the search widget will always resolve to the directory home page. There’s not really a way around that if you want it to work on pages where there is no Connections shortcode.

May I suggest an alternative approach?

Create a directory search results page with [connections] on it and set that as the directory home page and then add force_home=TRUE to all the other pages that have the Connections shortcode on it. That way all links will now resolve to the directory search results page.

That should provide your users with a consistent experience across your different directory pages. It could even be a little better for SEO. That would would really depend on how cross categorized the entries are. Because I know duplicate content is weighted negatively. But I’m not an expert in this area.

Do you think that’ll work for the results you want?

@ Marna

Yes, try deactivating the plugins that come after the SEO plugin in the last section. My guess in one of them is coded in a way that knocks the Connections admin menu item off.

An alternative you may want to try is the Toolbar extension for Connections.

1. What do you mean by show up? The category drop down is not a feature of any of the core templates that come with Connections. The enable_category_by_root_parent only shortcode option works with the premium templates that have a category drop down as a feature. I hope that makes sense?

2. Yes technically possible. You would have to edit the template’s PHP file to add those. The functions you can use with in the template can be found in the class.output.php file. The file you need to edit for the Table Entry Card can be found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/card-tableformat/

I hope that helps.

@ Ray

Not sure I understand, sorry … There is the Widget Pack, it includes a category widget that can be placed in the theme’s sidebar. Is that what you’re asking?

Also, you could use the WP Menu builder to create links to specific categories/cities/states/zips and countries.
