The site is using cMap 1.0 which is a couple years old now … I highly recommend updating to version 3.0.x. It is a free upgrade which can be downloaded from your purchase history. Please take note of the special upgrade instructions.

This should resolve the issue. Thanks.

Connections does not support custom fields so there is not a one to one way to map all of these. Here’s my suggestions; the Connections field is on the right:

Empl ID
Last Name => Last Name
First Name => First Name
Middle Name => Middle Name
Preferred Name
Job Title => Title
Department => Department
Work Location => Suggestion, maybe use the Work Address?
Employee Classification
Employee Status
Phone # Type => Suggestion, Connections support 5 different phone number types, breakout each phone number type into its own column in the CSV and map them accordingly.
Work Phone # => Work Phone Number
Ext No => Suggestion, merge this field with Work Phone Number before you import.
Work Email => Work Email
Manager ID
Manager Name
Last 2 of Payroll Dept #
Organizational Function => Suggestion, maybe use the Organization field?

The remaining items without a map or suggestion … maybe merging them in a single column in the CSV and import them into the Notes field will work for you.

Hope that helps.

Try the attached version of the CSV Import.

A couple things to note…
1. It doesn’t have the code to support importing IM and social media yet, but this shouldn’t impact the data you’re importing.
2. Make sure you triple check your mapping before you click that import button. There is not a chance to confirm. I think I would even suggest importing only 5 in the first round just to make sure everything looks as expected, then import the remainder.

Apologies for the late response! I missed the email notification of this post. Unfortunately I cannot think of a way to allow family members maintain the “Family” entry other than having a separate login for the family but that will just be very confusing for the end users.

Apologies for such a late reply, I missed the email notification of this post. This is an add-on feature enabled by Link. I hope that helps.

Take a look at the order_by shortcode option doc page. I suggest ordering by date_modified sorting descending.

By default MySQL will not perform searches for strings that are 4 characters or less in length. There nothing that can be done by Connections to get around that as that is a server level config option. One thing you can try, which will only work if your server supports it, Go to the Connections : Settings admin page and make sure FULLTEXT is check and Keyword search is not checked under the Search tab.

1. The search in Connections is a key word search. Any entries containing any of the entered keywords will be returned as a result. You can test this in the admin on the Connections : Manage admin page.

As far as customization, there is none beyond the settings on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Search tab. These settings basically limit which fields are searched when a user performs a search.

2. There is no support for custom fields at this time.

3. Sorry, no.

I hope that answers your questions.

Which template? I’m assuming the default template, right. That is an inline style found in this file:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/card/template.php

@ Jonathan

Not is you’re running 3.0.x. That folder is for legacy templates only now.

The CSS for cMap would be here since it is now a plugin:
../wp-content/plugins/cmap

After you make CSS change, make sure to compile a new minified version because that is the version actually loaded into the page.
