There’s already an option for the user to upload their own photo. Not cure it make sense to allow the use of avatars… but I’ve added it to my feature request list.

Templates will never have a “unified” look. They’re meant to look different. When I start adding more, they’ll have vastly different appearances. Templates for Connections are like themes for WordPress … hope that makes sense as to why things look different.

Market only has a single CSS that is loaded in the site, that would be the minified version. The un-minifed version if provided for those that want to start with the default style and alter it to meet their on requirements. But since you want to change Form, you don’t need to worry about the CSS in Market.

The cn-form-user.css file for Form can be found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-form/css/

To get a flat look, like Market…

Remove the box-shadow values from #cn-form .postbox.
Remove the background-image values from #cn-form .widget, #cn-form .postbox
and #cn-form .widget .widget-top, #cn-form .postbox h3

That’s it. I hope that helps!

No, the CSV works fine under 3.6. Could you attach a copy of your CSV? rename it to have the .txt so it’ll upload. Also, let me know which fields you were matching too.

Also, take a look at this FAQ. It solves issues for most.

@ Christian

I imagine you are no loading trying to load all 3100 entries on the page all at once, right? Just 20 or 50 at a time? I can’t remember off the top of my head what the default setting is.

I used to run this site on Rackspace Cloud Sites but gave up, that’s another topic … Connections never gave me trouble though and my test data has more entries. So I’m not certain what direction to point you in …

Check the PHP error logs after visiting the manage admin page after a time out. Ask Rackspace support for the slow query log. Maybe that might point you in the right direction.

Please let me know if that helps.

Connections and cMap are compatible with WP 3.6. I’ve been developing and testing on the beta versions of 3.6 for quite some time.

I see two issues? Neither the gmap javascript for cMap or the Google Maps API is being loaded on the page. There’s so much happening with the caching / pagespeed / cdn it’s hard to tell just from looking at page source of where the issue is and howto fix it.

Maybe is you simple manually include this in the page cache:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/assets/js/jquery.gomap-1.3.2.min.js

And link to the Google Maps API:
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false

That should fix the problem.

Oh, the Google Maps API will have to be loaded before the gomap javascript.

@ Phil

Well, that a little beyond odd… that just a CSS class. I only have IE8 where I’m at, at the moment, and it works fine for me on my site but not yours. I’ll have to check that out tonight in IE10.

@ Steve

I don’t understand the paths being shown in the code…

This is your site:
http://ecoshowcase.com.au/host-cities/brisbane/

However you images are being served from:
http://3648q6r93gb46vd534eexm5x75.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/

Which is their CDN, I get that… that’s going to cause a problem. I’ll get to that…

But the image path being passed to TimThumb is:
http://www.compago.co.uk%20/wp-content/blogs.dir/3/connection_images/Advanced_logo.jpg

Two things…

What is that URL and how is is related to you?

You might have a typo in your settings somewhere. That %20 is a space, you can’t have a space there as it breaks the link.

Back to the problem. For security, I have disabled the ability of TimThumb to pull images from external sites. That was the path used to exploit TimThumb before it was patched over a year ago.

Two things need to be done to get this working…

Either get the images to point to the ecoshowcase.com.au domian or remove that space from the end of the http://www.compago.co.uk%20 domain.

TimThumb will have to be configured to allow external images from you domain only. I can make that change for you. Does WPEngine allow the use of the plugin editor? If they do, can you please install the WP Editor plugin and give me a temp admin account?

@ bobo2013

Fantastic that is that is great to hear that is working! That template tags is pretty important.

[Steven Zahm]

@ Steve

Ah, yes. You didn’t mention that you were using multisite … Connections has to be activated per subsite, not network wide.

I know others are using Connections on WPEngine without issue, so I know it works fine. I’m sure its just a permissions thing since they are locked down to the nth degree.

Can you please share a link to you directory where Slim Plus is being used?

[Steven Zahm]

@ umnsph

You’ll have to provide a link to your directory so I can see exactly the issue because there is no code in Connections that would change the page title to a web URL. So maybe another plugin is the causing the issue.

Connections does, in 0.7.8 and greater change the page title to reflect the current category, region and entry name. Please take a look at the settings found on the Connections : Settings admin page under the SEO tab. Make sure the options are enabled.

Hope that helps.
