Yep, editing the PHP will work too. :)

Connections may be a good solution for you. A few items…

You’ll need Link to allow your users to maintain their own entry. The form that is added by Link, is by not customizable the admin, the user can choose to hide/show the metaboxes. The function is just like the form on the “Add Entry” admin page.

There is no geolocation searching available at this time. What I mean by geolocation is x miles from y zipcode. However, on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab, you can enable regional linking where the parts of the addresses in entries will become links that when clicked by a user will filter the list by the region clicked. For example, if you enable Locality, the city in every address will be a link and when a user clicks the city, the results will be linked to that city.

There is not yet a built in method to have “Featured” entries, however, others have created a “Featured” category and assigned those featured entries to that category. They then placed a new shortcode on the same page limiting it to displaying only the “Featured” category using the category shortcode option. To make sure the featured category shortcode results are locked, add lock=true to the shortcode.

Hope that helps.

Sorry, no. The best that can be done is to limit the display of the address and phone by type. For example, work address and work phone, like so:

[connections address_types='work' phone_types="workphone" email_types='work']

And then use one of the supplied templates for use in the single entry view. This can be enabled by checking the Single Entry view on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab.

You can then choose you desired template under the Individual/Organization template types on the Connections : Templates admin page. Make sure to choose one of the supplied templates because those will be unaffected by the shortcode options.

Hope that helps.

Sorry for the delay, you caught me after I already left for the weekend…

1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 7. cMap is the most popular right now, should come close to your requirements. The text is on the right however. try the demo, or any of the live sites.

2. Currently there is no user facing way of doing “near” searches. You can, however, enable the locality and region link options on the Connections : Settings admin page under the advanced tab. That make the city and state links in addresses which a user can click on to filter the list by the city or state they clickon on. You can give that a try now without any purchase as they work regardless of the template being used.

6. It can be set to be blank if there is not logo by setting image_fallback=none in the shortcode.

8. Sorry, no rating or comments or reviews.

9. You could enter this in either the bio or notes fields.

10. You’ll need the CSV Import Extension for the bulk import.

11. If you do not enter it, it will not be displayed in the frontend; ie in cMap.

12., 13. Form would be recommended if you plan on letting anyone submit an entry for moderation and are not worried about letting the user maintain their own entry. If you do want to let the user maintain their own entry, then I recommend Link. Either will allow moderation. Form, you can turn on/off some fields and set it to default to be an organization and remove the individual option. Link on the other hand, can, but it is a per user and the users choice. There is not a global on/off that can be set by the admin. Form has an anti-spam feature built in and does not rely on captcha.

Ok, I think I answered all the questions … hope it helps. Let me know if you need anything clarified.

@ Jennifer

This can not be removed on the default template without having to edit the template code. If you’re comfortable with making a minor PHP edit, I can provide some direction. If not, in next month’s release, the option in the settings will remove it from the templates too.

@ Douglas

Currently, I have reported conflicts with that plugin, but if you do, please let me know. Thanks.

Others have created a “Featured” category and assigned those featured entries to that category. They then placed a new shortcode on the same page limiting it to displaying only the “Featured” category using the category shortcode option. To make sure the featured category shortcode results are locked, add lock=true to the shortcode.

@ Ryan

Look in connections.php where the callback is to register the metaboxes. The actual metabox code is in the class.form.php file [for now, that code is up next to be completely refactored].

@ kroussel

Probably this line:

$out .= '<input type="hidden" name="phone[::FIELD::][visibility]" value="public">';

I just approved the Farsi translation request in Transifex. Your website is being blocked at my current location. I’ll try from a different location later today.

After you have the translation finished, I’ll work on getting the RTL fixed. I may have questions in order to make the correct changes. Will you be able to help if I do have questions?
