You need to pull the map functions out of the card.php and card-single.php files in the cMap template and add them to the same files in the Slim Plus.

You will then need to pull the map related javascript from the cmap.js file and add it to the slim-plus.js file. After you do that you will need to make a copy of the new slim-plus.js and name it slim-plus.min.js.

I’m assuming you can workout how to edit PHP files and Javascript files if you’re asking so I hope this helps point you in the right direction.

It seems that another plugin is not properly hooking into the wp_login action hook in WordPress which is causing Link to fail. You’ll have to deactivate plugins one at a time until the error goes away. After the error goes away, that will be the plugin causing the conflict. please let me know which plugin that is causing the conflict. I hope that helps.

I agree … my hopes later this year I’ll be able to put together several tutorial videos and expand on the QuickTips on how to use the various pieces of Connections together.

I’m assuming this question is in regard to Link. If the role capability was set for moderation, yes. The record will not show until approved. The only way to change this is to allow the role to make edits without moderation. Hope that helps.

Definitely a false positive. That plugin is actually flagging the word timthumb in the credit comments in the file header. Saying fix, will severely break Connections to the point your site will crash. The only way to recover would be to delete Connections and reinstall.

Of note, Connections never included the insecure version and the hole that was exploited in old version was always deactivated in the TimThumb config for Connections. That hole was, by default, TimThumb permitted select sites as source URL/s for images. I have it configured to only images on the same site, no externals allowed.

Hope that helps.

I’ve started scoping out the changes that would be required to to enable entries to be set as “Featured in Category” and “Featured”.

“Featured” is a super entry, it will be displayed before all other entries in every circumstance.
“Featured in Category” will display after the “Featured” entries but before the standard entries in the categories the entry is assigned.

This will not be a slider, but will allow the development of one plus many other nifty things related to being able to define featured entries.

I’m uncertain as when the featured entries feature will land at this point in time, BUt I can safely say this year.

Yes, every template that has a drop down which are cMap and the *Plus templates will has the same feature as described in the FAQ including Excerpt Plus. The feature is used in the demo.

Hope that helps.

The options I showed you, you set them as part of the shortcode like the examples shows on the page I linked you to. You do not edit the template files.

Literally hundreds find Excerpt perfectly suited to their needs. Take this site for example. This is the original Except template, not the Plus. All they wanted was the bio excerpt and full bio. Not weird at all.

The great thing is, if you want to show more than just the bio, you just turn it on. Since you just typing some settings in the shortcode, it’s upgrade safe. I test Connections before every update with every template under a wide variety of options just to make sure templates doesn’t break. Now, if you edit a template, you will not lose it dugin a Connections update, but, if you update the template, you will lose any code changes.

What makes you feel you chose the wrong template? Do you like the way it looks? You just want more info to display, right? Use this shortcode on your page:

[connections show_title='TRUE' show_org='TRUE' show_contact_name='TRUE' show_addresses='TRUE' show_phone_numbers='TRUE' show_email='TRUE' show_im='TRUE' show_social_media='TRUE' show_dates='TRUE' show_links='TRUE']

All the templates shown on the template product page are exactly as they are sold, nothing custom. Same for the template demo pages. On the template demo pages, the shortcodes used for the demo are given. Sites linked to on the template product page are too, out of the box. The only differences would the shortcode options they’ve used. I do this so everyone can see exactly what each template is like both in demo and on real sites so they can feel confident on what is being purchased. The Showcase page, yes, those are custom, but I do put that right in the description. Sorry that I somehow misguided you, but I do try to make sure everything is presented and nothing is hidden.

@ Dorothy

Maybe I misunderstood…

Best I can tell the bio is shorter than the excerpt length so it only appears to be the same.

Create a much longer bio and you’ll see that only an excerpt is shown until you click the read more link.

By default, the template only shows the bio, nothing more. If you want more to be displayed, you need to configure the template via its shortcode options to turn on additional details. Here’s the lis of options you can turn back on:

enable_bio=TRUE
enable_bio_head=FALSE
enable_note=FALSE
enable_note_head=FALSE
show_title=FALSE
show_org=FALSE
show_contact_name=FALSE
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

The complete list of options and a summary on how to use them can be found here.

Hopefully I understood correctly and answered your question this time.

@ anindex

I looked at your test site. It is very difficult for me to understand, but, everything does appear to work correctly.
