@ Dave

On the occasions I run across this it is because the theme or another plugin, usually the theme, is trying to be helpful and adds a HTML 5 “shim” javascript that adds support for the placeholder text in the search box. Unfortunately this is buggy, in my opinion. Go ahead and select a category and then look in the address bar of the browser, notice the there is cn-s=Search. The shim script is causing the placeholder text “Search” to be sent as if you were filtering by category and search for the word “Search” and it shouldn’t be. Obviously, this is not what you want to do.

Unfortunately, other than changing themes, which I would never ask someone to do, the only solution is to make a small edit to Connections so it does no longer use the placeholder text.

Edit the class.template-parts.php file found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/template/

Search for this line, should be on line 469:

$out .= '<input type="text" id="cn-search-input" name="cn-s" value="' . esc_attr( $searchValue ) . '" placeholder="' . __('Search', 'connections') . '"/>';

Replace it with this:

$out .= '<input type="text" id="cn-search-input" name="cn-s" value="' . esc_attr( $searchValue ) . '"/>';

Save and upload overwriting the original. Of course you should make a backup first.

Now, because the placeholder text is no longer in place, the shim script from the theme will no longer affect the category filter.

Hope that helps.

@ nengineer

Likely you have a plugin installed that is incorrectly using the the_title filter. I say this because there is no third argument for the the_title filter.

I recommend deactivating plugins one at a time until the error goes away, you’ve then found the plugin causing the error.

Please let me know which one it is, thanks!

@ mica

I just forwarded you another copy of your sales receipt. Also, you can reset your access using this link.

Just download cMap, install as a plugin and then it’ll show up on the Connections : Templates admin page.

@ Tibor

You can customize the fields to an extent, see this doc page. However, you can not change the order without actually edit the core PHP files.

@ Stewart

The update, 0.7.8, I will be releasing in the next couple day should address this. Please let me know if it does not.

@ Gavin

I did reply to you here.

I see you now have the Slim Plus template activated, but it doe not appear that the CSS file is being loaded.

My guess the issue is that the theme does not have the wp_head hook in the header.php file.

Not having this hook in the theme will likely break most plugins if it doesn’t exist. Can you check and let me know if that solves the problem. Thanks.

@ Jake

Ahhh, that explains it. version .9 released 2/2012 fixed that issue. I didn’t realize you had a prior version.

@ Gavin

Doesn’t look like you’ve activated the Slim or Slim Plus template. Which one did you purchase?

Go to the Connections : Templates admin page and activate the template there. This assumes you’ve already installed and activate it as a plugin per the installation instructions.

@ Jake

Hmmm, I took your CSV and imported and the Facebook links imported just fine. Which version of Connections and the CSV Import Extension do you have installed?

[Steven Zahm]

@ Chris

yes and it will be, but I’m unable to commit to as when this would roll out as a feature, sorry.
