@ Shari

In short, yes. If you enter a search term and select a category the results would be entries that fit both criteria. Hope that makes sense!

Also, yes, you can very easily change the word Search to anything of your choosing.

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.

The available options depend on the extension being used. The core options support by the [connections] shortcode, regardless of template, can be found here in the docs. For the template and extension specific shortcode options look for the “Customization Options” sub-menu item under each template and extension.

I hope that helps.

@ Hubert

The CSS loads in the head by default and the JS in the foot. Are you doing something to change this? Are you using any plugins that alter CSS and JS loading and such? Can you share the link to the actual page? Screen shots are not going to help me help you. If you need to keep it private, please check the private reply box before posting the link.

Thanks!

Yes, if you were logged in, you would be entering entries as yourself and you wouldn’t receive email notifications because you would know that an entry was input. That’s the intended logic any way.

Sounds like you just need to whitelist the email so it doesn’t end up in spam. There’s nothing on my side that can be done about that as spam filters are client side processed.

I suspect that is the “white screen of death”; lovely eh?

The most common reason for this is PHP exhausting the memory allocated to it. Here’s a link to an excellent post which explains several methods that can be used to increase the memory. Which one that will work for you is really dependent on your web host. I suggest start from the top and work your way down. As for the value to use, try 128MB. That should be more than sufficient.

Let me know how it goes.

@ Alice

Yes, you could do that. I’m guessing that form plugin has an action that you could hook into that passes the submitted form data. Hook in to that action and create a new instance the the cnEntry object. I tend to use:

$entry = new cnEntry();

You can then set the entry details using the supplied form data using the class setter methods. They’re all documented in the code… I think. After you’ve set the data from the form data; just save:

$entry->save();

I hope that helps get you on your way with your project!

None of the supplied core templates show the notes field, sorry. If you could use the bio field instead you could use either the Profile template of the Bio Entry Card template. You can activate either from the Connections : Templates admin page.

If you need to use the notes field, you’ll need a premium template such as cMap which does support presenting the notes field.

I hope that helps.

@ Rodney

Sure, here’s how…

1. Put the [connections] shortcode on your desired landing page.
2. The links you need to create would look something like:

http://domain.tld/landing-page/category/alabama/

That assumes you have not change the Category Base on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab.

That’s it.

Another interesting option which really depends on how you really need categorize your dealers. Because you can build links to filter by state like so:

http://domain.tld/landing-page/region/Alabama/

The result would be every entry where any of its addresses had “Alabama” entered in the State field. Make sense?

You can even build links for specific cities:

http://domain.tld/landing-page/locality/Montgomery/

Or zip code:

http://domain.tld/landing-page/postal-code/36101/

I do suggest making your landing page your directory home page as well on the Connections : Settings admin page under the General tab.

I hope that answers your question thoroughly.

@ Mitch

In short, yes. Unfortunately, due to my shortsightedness, I’m going to have to rebuild from the ground up the part of that plugin that displays the form fields on the front of the site. The good news, I am making sure the custom meta box and field API takes that need into account.

@ Nancy

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 stings you want to change are, exactly:
Go back to directory.
and
Add to Address Book.

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.
