How odd, the zip for the import was for .8, I reuploaded the .9 so it should be available for download now.

I haven’t played w/ patterns yet, here’s a link though that may help.

I had the opportunity to load your site in IE10 this morning for a few minutes. IE10 was complaining of another javascript error not related to Connections. Load the site in IE10, hit the F12 key, click the Script tab and then click the Console button to the right. I believe the error was an undefined manage on line 595. Or somewhere where abouts. I’d give you more exact details but the site seems very unstable, in the sense that, every time I’ve checked the site after mashing the refresh many time the site just doesn’t load anymore. I’m sure you’re aware of that already though. I wonder if that is the cause. The site just fails to completely load every time. It would make sense, the script for the template is set to load at the bottom of the page. And if it doesn’t load, it can’t be run.

Resolved here.

Ok. I know the issue. Links are persistent. Meaning, once a link, or lack of one, is found Link will not attempt to link a user to an entry again no matter how many times you change email addresses in either the user account or in their Connections entry. Why? Because email address change and you wouldn’t want to make it easy to hijack the user account or the Connections entry. My guess is that you logged into your site before your entry was in Connections or the email addresses were different at the time of login.

I did two things … I made sure it would link you user account and Connections entry. Now, when you login, they will be linked. I also, installed the beta version of the next release of Link which is a little less aggressive in its protection of links when one was not created because there was no match on the initial login. What it will now do is on every login by a user, check for a matching email address in Connections and if found, link the accounts. If a match is not found, instead of marking the user as already checked do not check for a match again, it does nothing permitting a match to be found on subsequent logins. Once a match is found and a link is created however, the link is permanent. Changing email address will not break the link. Future versions of Link will come with ways for an admin to manage this manually.

Hope that helps.

I resolve the issue. Both the cache folder and the index.html file needed to have 767 permissions.

One option would to be to create a “Featured” category, add your featured entries to that category. To put these at the top of the list, use two shortcodes on the same page. The top one limited to your featured category like so [connections category=X lock=true]. “X” would be the category ID of the “Featured” category. The lock shortcode option just prevents any changes, for example, when a user would select another category from the drop down. The second shortcode would actually be used to show that.

As far as highlighting them, using the “Featured” category example from above you can use this base CSS to highlight the entries just about anyway you want:

#cn-list .featured {

}

Hope that makes sense and helps.

Install the Say What? plugin.

It’ll add a new Text Changes menu item. Click Add New, enter the string exactly as shown in Connections, enter connections as the domain and then enter your new text.

The great thing about using this plugin is that it will be update safe and you can use it on any other plugin that has been properly internationalized. Hope that helps.

@ Steve

I do understand. I can not think of a solution other than turning the drop down into a multi-select drop down then users would be able to choose an arbitrary number of categories. Its similar to using the category_in shortcode option.

@ John

If you mean sorted by city/state/country, check out the order_by shortcode option.

Also, new in version 0.7.8 is the ability to turn portions of the address, like city/state/country into links and when a user clicks those links, the results will be filtered by the city/state/country the user clicked.

Hope that helps.
