@ Jen

I would like to apologize for my delay in my reply as I was not receiving my notices for new support forum posts for about a week. Just reply notices to ones that were already started which is why I’m just now noticing.

Use this shortcode or update the shortcode you’re using to include the link_format option.

[connections link_format='%title%']

Hope that helps!

I’ll try to answer the best I can.

1. It is menu that is very similar to the one shown in Market. The big different there are no radios because the form input is not needed for those category links.

2. If I follow… sorry no. The Category Widget will display a link to every category you create within Connections; there is not a way to limit the list to subcategories at this time. It’s on the to do list but I can not say when this will be implemented.

Yes, all the widget links will resolve to the page set as the directory home page. It’s more of a “filter” rather than a “jumping”, but yes, that’s correct.

I can’t think of any sites off the top of my head that I can give you a link to. I should post live links as examples. As I come across them, I’ll update the page. Sorry I could help with that.

I hope I answered all your questions thoroughly!

Sounds like the memory allocated to PHP is being exhausted. This excellent blog post give several methods that cab be used to increase this. Which one will work will depend on your host, but just start at the top an work your way down. I’m sure one of them will work and resolve the issue. If not, please let me know.

The only solution I can think of is to copy the sections of HTML that is created when the “Add Email” button is clicked and paste that right above the button in the connections_form.php PHP file. That way there will always be that one email input and clicking the button will add additional ones.

Does that help?

0.7.2.6, theoretically should work with WordPress 3.6, especially if it working fine with 3.5.1. Honestly, I’ve never tested the older release on the new WordPress version.

There’s no security implications that I’m aware of using an older version.

If you do upgrade, I only suggest making a DB backup first because Connections will have a couple schema changes it’ll have to make to its tables.

I hope that helps.

Yes, you have two option. The first is Form. That is a great solution is you want to allow anonymous moderated submission. The other is Link. This extension is great if you want you registered WordPress users to be able to submit moderated entries and have them be able to make moderated changes.

I hope that helps!

The issue seems that the Google Maps API is not loading. Can you make sure that option is checked on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab?

Sorry for the delay! For some reason I’ve stopped being notified of new posts to the support forum and now I’m trying to clean up the aftermath.

You can use CSS to change the hover color. Try adding the following to the end of your theme’s style.css file:

#cn-market #cn-cat-select ul li:hover { background-color: purple !important }

The Form page is back up. I must have accidentally trashed it. I just don’t see how, but that’s where it was.

@ Alex

There isn’t a built in method as of yet. Other users have used a field that they’re not using and put a number in than order by that field. Would that work for you?

@ Wende

Thanks for your interest in Connections. I’ll try to answer you questions as best I can…

1. You will have to select a Directory Home page, especially if you’re going to use Connections on a post. The reason is that all links Connections creates are based on and resolve to that directory home page. Using Connections on a page is different because all links within the entries will be based on the current page and resolve to the current page. This is actually to support multiple directories; split based on categories for example. The one notable exception to this rule is that the Widget Pack links will always be based on and resolve to the directory home page.

2. Yes, you would add a visibility column to the CSV and then define each row as public, private, or unlisted.

3. The relation links only show when the entry is a Family, there really is not a way to hide this because that is part of the template. Options would include hiding it with CSS or manually editing the template’s PHP file to remove it.

4. The only option here is to manually edit the template’s PHP file. Which template are you currently using where the name is below the photo? I’m tired at the moment but I’m pretty certain one doesn’t exist with that layout. Or, maybe I don’t understand, sorry.

I hope that answers the questions thoroughly!
