@ Kevin

It seems the theme is overriding the template’s CSS. I tried viewing the page with the password you supplied however it asks for a secondary username / password so I can not see it and I’ll need to to give you the CSS that’ll overrides the theme’s.

The solution is likely the same as before. Give it a try and let me know.

The issue is almost certainly due to the DOCUMENT_ROOT not being properly determined.

Add the following to the timthumb-config.php file found here:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/libraries/timthumb/

This is what you need to add, make sure to change the doc root accordingly:

define (‘LOCAL_FILE_BASE_DIRECTORY’,’/my/doc/root/’);

What ‘/my/doc/root’ will be, will depend entirely on the server setup. If you go to the the Connections : Dashboard admin page and look at the the System widget; there will be a constant named CN_PATH. The doc root should be the beginning portion of that path. What I can tell you is that from the wp-content on will NOT be part of the doc root.

Hope that helps; let me know.

Did you restrict access to the admin using S2 or any other plugin?

after you make a settings change you must re-upload the image in order for it to be created at the new settings.

Also, make sure you flush the page cache after you make a change if you are using a caching plugin. For logos I highly suggest Fill, maintain aspect ratio.

Hope that helps!

Here’s another interesting idea. Specialized templates that have add their own custom fields. Much like theme’s can do with posts. Very doable, easy infact, using what is already built.

@ jochen

Oh, I see. That is a fantastic idea! The thought never occurred to me to make such a specialized template.

I’m currently working on adding a Meta and Custom Metabox and Fields API for Connections. A template for specialized template for squads that implement custom fields just for squads would be a great use of these new APIs.

[Steven Zahm]

When I release the update that contains the new Meta API and new Custom Metabox and Fields API I’m also going to post a new extension for Connections to the WP plugin repo for business hours. What’ll it’ll do is add a new field so one can enter business hours and it’ll add a new widget that can be added the to theme’s sidebar. The widget will only be shown when viewing a single entry and will display the business hours.

I think this will a great little way to expose the this new core functionality to everyone while I continue to develop other ways to better exploit it for users.

In a plugin and play fashion, sorry no. However, if you can make some very basic PHP edits you could. Here’s how:

Open the the profile.php file found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/profile/

Copy the code from lines 52 to 67 which should be:

<div class="cn-entry" style="-moz-border-radius:4px; background-color:#FFFFFF; border:1px solid #E3E3E3; color: #000000; margin:8px 0px; padding:6px; position: relative;">

		<span style="float: left; margin-right: 10px;"><?php $entry->getImage( array( 'preset' => 'profile' ) ); ?></span>

		<div style="margin-left: 10px;">
			<span style="font-size:larger;font-variant: small-caps"><strong><?php $entry->getNameBlock(); ?></strong></span>
			<div style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
				<?php $entry->getTitleBlock() ?>
				<?php $entry->getOrgUnitBlock(); ?>
			</div>
			<?php echo $entry->getBioBlock(); ?>
		</div>

	<div style="clear:both"></div>
</div>

From here I’m going to assume doing this to the cMap template but the instructions would be pretty much the same for the others as well. I think just the file path would differ.

Open the card.php file found here:
../wp-content/plugins/cmap/

Replace the entire contents of this file with the code from the Profile template.

Save and upload overwriting the original.

The result should be a template that appears like the Profile template but includes the category drop down, search and pagination. You’ll lose much of other cMap specific features but it should achieve your goal.

I hope that helps.

@ Sam

My guess is that if you would disable a combination of other plugins the issue would resolve itself too. Let me explain and offer a solution that what I think the issue might actually be.

Connections does load with WP like every other plugin and theme all of which increase the PHP memory requirements. However, Connections does not add anything to the Page or Post admin pages but I’m guessing the theme and whatever other plugins that are installed do. This will further increase the PHP memory requirements for those pages.

If I am correct, increasing the memory allocated to PHP will resolve the issue. Checkout this excellent blog post that explains several different methods on how to change this setting. which method will work will really depend on your web host. I suggest starting at the top and work your way down.

Let me know how it goes!

@ jochen

For that info type the only place to put that would be in the the bio or notes as you have done. In the templates you have purchased you can turn off the fields you do not need to be displayed. Actually with Excerpt those fields are already off by default. To turn off the display of the fields you do not need use this shortcode:

[connections show_phone_numbers=FALSE show_email=FALSE]'

However Tile does not show the bio field which you need to sow the other info. Slim does show both the bio and notes fields so that is the better option. To turn off the display of the fields you do not need use this shortcode:

[connections show_family=FALSE show_addresses=FALSE show_phone_numbers=FALSE show_email=FALSE show_im=FALSE show_social_media=FALSE show_dates=FALSE show_links=FALSE]
`

Hope that helps.
