RE: I’m not always able to select “Save Changes” after translating some text.
I can only select “Save as suggestion”. How does that work?

Honestly, I do not know what would case that. I’ve bumped up your user role to “Reviewer” from “Tanslator”. Let me know if that helps or not.

RE: Will you review the translation or somebody else?

No one will. I only have the resources available to trust those that are taking time to translate. So far offering this trust has only been good for Connections and its users.

RE: Has there been any development for displaying custom fields on cMap?

The display of a custom text field is covered in this developer doc. The relevant bit is about halfway through covering how to edit the template file.

This method can be utilized in any of the templates, not just cMap.

RE: was wondering if there have been an easier way to display these fields.

Sorry, no, the display has to be added thru code.

RE: I found the include Custom Fields in the display and that works:

That would only work if you deactivate the code which registered the custom field. To ensure you do not lose data, make sure you code is still running.

The “Custom Fields” metabox is not the same as a “custom field” (even though the data is self is saved in the same place in the database. Sorry if that is confusing but the terminology and functionality originate with WordPress itself. Here is an example which may help… Add a new WordPress Page or Post. Scroll to to the bottom, unless you’ve turned it off in the Screen Options you will find a Custom Fields metabox. This is the same feature in which Connections mimics with its “Custom Fields” metabox. One the WordPress add new page/post you will like find all sorts of other “custom fields” added by other plugins and/or the theme which control and/or change the displayed content for the page or post. It is these “custom fields” which you are adding when you register a custom field in Connections. If you were to disable the theme or plugin which has registered their “custom fields”, the data would display in the “Custom Fields” metabox so the data is not lost on page/post edits. Connections mimics this too.

I hope that help clarify and not causes further confusion!!!

RE: Why doesn’t the standard title show up?

When you register a custom text field? If yes, the title option is the title of the custom field metabox in the admin. If you want a label on the template you add it to the code. eg.

$text = $entry->getMeta(
        array(
            'key'    => 'field_id', // This should match exactly the field id used when registering the custom field.
            'single' => TRUE        // Do not change this.
        )
    );

if ( ! empty( $text ) ) echo '<p>LABEL: ' . esc_html( $text ) . '</p>';

Notice I added LABEL to the <p> tag.

RE: can I rename Custom fields to Others?

I’m sorry, but I am not sure what you are asking. Could you give more details?

RE: i found documentation and i done all required steps butstill not working,

I am assuming you are following this developer doc, correct? The page you linked to is the docs for the shortcode.

RE: unfortunately i don’t understand what means this : ” Important
The WordPress Permalinks option must be set to any option than “Plain” for this to function correctly.

Navigate to the WordPress Settings : Permalinks admin page and choose the “Post name” option.

Hope this helps, let me know.

In regards to the “License activation limit has been reached notification“:

Which site are you attempting to activate these items on? According to the activation logs these are all activated on westcentralcoastdistrict.com If you are trying to activate on westcentralcoastdistrict.org, you must first deactive the licenses on the .com site because the license allows activation on a single site, not multiple. If you need a multiple site license, there are options available.

In order to assist you with license activation, I’ve manually deactivate your licenses. You should now be able to activate them on the .org site without issue.

In regards to the “License entered in not for this item.” notification:

The license key entered is for the Link extension, not the Form extension.

Hope this helps, let me know.

ps, I deleted the screenshot from your post because it included your person license keys.

It sounds like you may have accidentally enable the debugging option which also requires that WordPress be enabled too. My suggestion to to disable the Connections debugging option found on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab at the very bottom of the page in the Debug section.

Hope this helps!

@ paul

I assume Custom Category Order, correct? The records show that it is activated on westcentralcoastdistrict.org. What I’ll do is manually deactivate it from my end. You should then be able to activate it without issue.

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ Jaclyn

You need the CSV Import extension to bulk import entries with a CSV file. I try my best to make sure things are cross linked so they can be easy to find. Could you give me an example or two where you looked so I can evaluate and make more clear where to get the extension?

Apologies for the trouble! I hope this helps, let me know.

Unfortunately I am not surprised considering the directory login is required. This definitely was not a bug when the Anniversary and Birthday Email was released. It was introduced as a regression with some core changes within Connections. I’ll be testing a change today with an update planned for Wednesday that should correct this issue.

@ paul

Which item(s) from the pack are you trying to activate on westcentralcoastdistrict.com?

I see both Form and Link are activated on sacredactivations.com and Contact and CSV Import are activated westcentralcoastdistrict.com. If you are trying to activate either Form or Link on westcentralcoastdistrict.com you will first have to deactivate them on sacredactivations.com.

Hope that helps, let me know.

RE: do I go through WordPress, set up user registration, and then add a sign in widgit to our Connections directory site?

Yes, that is correct.

RE: Right now, the Connections directory page on our website reads “Please login to view the directory”, but there is no log in field present.

You can use the Login extension to add a login in the login required message area.

Hope this helps, let me know!
