@ Glen

The core WP search which is what Relevansi indexes is for WordPress posts (including custom post types [CPT]) and pages only.

It is not possible to integrate with the core WordPress search because it is highly optimized for only searching WP pages/posts or Custom Post Types (CPT) if they are registered for search.

Connections does not use CPT for its data because the db schema for CPT’s are optimized for post like data only. Connections uses a db schema optimized for directory content for performance and scalability. You’ll find that much larger plugins such as WooCommerce and Easy Digital Downloads have moved or are moving away from using CPT’s because using them are too inefficient for the custom data schema’s they require.

If you want search, you need one of the premium templates. If you want to have a search input on your home page, use the Search Widget which comes as part of the Widget Pack. You can place this widget in your theme’s sidebar so it shows up everywhere.

Hope that helps!

Remove enable_pagination='FALSE' from the shortcode or add the page_limit limit option and set it with a higher value, such as page_limit=40.

Hope this helps, let me know.

Ok, I took a look… this is not an issue with Connections. Please edit the page and click the Module Settings for the District II Clubs. Instead of the shortcodes for Connections, like the other two, The HTML was actually copy/pasted. Basically this someone “hardcode” the Connections HTML. So, no changes made to those entries would ever be reflected.

To correct this you need to use the Connections shortcode like the other two columns. I did not make the change since I was not 100% sure of what should be use. My best guess would be this:

[connections category=12 show_alphaindex='FALSE' width=300][connections category=3 show_alphaindex='FALSE' width=300]

Hope this helps!

I never received the login link.

@ Sarah

These changes can only be done by editing the template’s PHP code. Here’s the link to the developer doc on a custom template override file.

Hope this helps!

@ Sarah

I’m assuming you are using the free included Default template, correct? If that is the case, navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Customize button for the Default template.

The page will refresh displaying the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right.

Click the back arrow in the upper left of the Customizer and then click the Image panel.

Choose the desire image to display.

Now, carefully read the instructions displayed above the directory in the preview.

Click and entry name in the directory list in the preview and make the Image change again.

Publish the changes and exit the Customizer.

Hope this helps. Let me know.

It was the setting in ezTOC to display the TOC floated right. the way the theme is setup caused the TOC to be “covered” up with the page content so you could not actually click thru to the TOC block. Even though visually it appeared that it was alright and that you should be able to click the TOC items.

Adding a bit of custom CSS to the theme’s custom CSS area seems to correct this. This does not seem to affect any of the other page content. Give you pages a quick once over to make sure, then you can reactivate ezTOC if you wish.

@ Chris

fyi, just to let you know that I was not able to get to this as of yet. Hopefully first thing tomorrow AM.

RE: I cannot found where I turned off the setting to have each contact be displayed on a separate page

Navigate to the Connections Settings admin page and click the Advanced tab. Disable the Name option under the Permalinks section.

RE: Only thing I could find is under Settings/Display under Single Entry I re-checked the “template” option to display a single entry.

I recommend that you disable that option … especially since you do not wish to link to the single entry profile page.

RE: I am still not seeing any of these contacts showing up as a link where someone can click to get the details and then “add to address book”.

You will only see this above the entry on the single entry profile view of the template, which you have disabled.

Hope this helps!

@ Brendan

There are two methods in use by many users. The first is to upload a “default” image to each entry upon adding the entry. The second, more complex method, is to follow the developer tutorial CSS to apply a default image.

Hope this helps, let me know.
