Yes, you can selectively display only the entry(ies) you wish using the id shortcode option.

I see you mention “map” and “open” so I assume you mean with the cMap template, yes? Sorry, but no. There is not a way to have the map open. An option many others use is showing the entry using a different template. You can use the template shortcode option to override the current activate template. I suggest the Bio Entry Card. It’ll show everything but a map.

Hope that helps!

You’ll have share the login link and credentials again. I do not really keep those. I did try two sites with the one user/pass I did find but it didn’t work on either site.

The CN_IMAGE_PATH constant can be found on the Connections : Dashboard admin page. One of the widgets on that page is the System widget, that widget will have the CN_IMAGE_PATH constant.

After you have that info. Log in to your site with FTP and move any images from the subsites connection_images folder to the folder shown as the CN_IMAGE_PATH constant. Where exactly the connection_images folder is on your subsites, I can tell you because that depends on your setup.

How many images do you have, maybe it would just be easier to reupload those that are not working???

Yes, anytime you update the the templates you’ll have to redo your custom changes.

Not sure when it’ll actually land, but I do have it on the drawing board to vastly improve the template API to support the overriding of the core template files. While this will provide the ability have update safe custom changes the downside will still be any new features implemented in the template could break the custom override or new features not being exposed because the file being overridden contains the code that implements/exposes the new feature. Of course I’m taking steps to mitigate that as much as possible but I’ll never be able to completely eliminate the possibility of the need for custom changes having to be redone after a template update.

Hope that makes sense!

@ Randy

Which version of Connections do you have installed? If it is not the latest, 0.7.9.1, please update. After you update, visit the Connections : Templates admin page. Doing just that should fix things back up. If you still get the error, then on the Connections : Templates admin page activate any random template and then reactivate the Default template. That will sure take care of the issue.

Hope that helps! Please let me know.

I tried logging on but I get; Status Code:502 cannotconnect.

Ok, the screen shots makes things clear now. I thought you were asking to change the fields title in the admin not on the template. The template has a different method.

See this FAQ first. Here’s the list of options available to Excerpt Plus:

str_select='Select Category'
str_select_all='Show All Categories'
str_image='No Photo Available'
str_read_more='Read More'
str_bio_head='Biography'
str_note_head='Notes'
str_contact='Contact'
str_home_addr='Home'
str_work_addr='Work'
str_school_addr='School'
str_other_addr='Other'
str_home_phone='Home Phone'
str_home_fax='Home Fax'
str_cell_phone='Cell Phone'
str_work_phone='Work Phone'
str_work_fax='Work Fax'
str_personal_email='Personal'
str_work_email='Work'

Oh, the correct text domain is connections not Connections; notice the capitalization. It makes a difference.

That should fix things for you.

No, none of the Advanced option or CSS would cause a conflict. Could I have a temp admin account so I can take a closer look?

[Steven Zahm]

@ James

Nope, that will do it. I think just triple check to make sure you uploaded the altered file overwriting the original. I preferred deleting the original, refreshing to make sure and only the uploading the new version.

@ Cathy

Ok, I understand. But, sorry, there is nothing built in to do this nor do I have any custom code available. It can be done, and I’m fairly certain there is enough markup in the HTML code that is output that this could likely be done with just a bit of JavaScript/jQuery. Sorry, not much help, but I hope it does!

If this has happened the likely source of the issue is that another plugin, maybe even Advanced Access Manager, has manually set its admin menu position. WordPress doesn’t seem to really handle this well because it doesn’t do any type of conflict resolution, something will just get bumped instead.

I just checked the code for Advanced Access Manager, it doesn’t set the menu position so another plugin must be. Maybe try deactivating other plugins one at a time … unfortunately this will not ID the plugin setting its menu position, rather, it’ll just open the “slot” again.

There are two other options…

You could install the Connections Toolbar Extension; it’ll add the menu structure to the admin bar.

Lastly, I do provide a way for users to manually set the menu position for Connections.

Add the following to the wp-congif.php file:

define( 'CN_ADMIN_MENU_POSITION', NULL );

Change NULL to any of the values below:

5 – below Posts
10 – below Media
15 – below Links
20 – below Pages
25 – below comments
60 – below first separator
65 – below Plugins
70 – below Users
75 – below Tools
80 – below Settings
100 – below second separator

My suggestion would be setting it to any integer above 100.

I hope that helps. Let me know.
