Tile Plus doesn’t have this feature, cMap does, but it is experimental and not yet supported. See this post.

I think that would work. Basically a user could select any number of categories and the only results shown would be those that are within the selected categories.

The only other option would to be to custom code a template that would do what your need.

@ Jonathan

Thanks for reporting this. I will have it corrected in the next update which is being pushed out very soon.

@ Steve Redshaw

Here’s a link to several posts that have examples on how to do this. I hope this helps.

@ Brent

Sorry, not presently.

@ Terry

You can import with categories, take a look at this FAQ.

There is no limit to the number of categories an entry can be assigned to.

I hope that helps!

@ Yani

Many thanks for your input … I have added you suggestions to me list.

The only way to migrate entries are to export the Connections tables from phpMyAdmin or similar tool as a SQL file and then import the exported SQL into your new site using phpMyAdmin or similar tool. I’ve done it plenty of times, only takes a few minutes.

Oh, one last thing, if you’ve uploaded any images, you have to copy them via FTP and load them up on the new site via FTP in this folder:
../wp-content/connection_images/

Just install the plugins any add-ons and templates as you normally world.

NOTE: Make sure you do the SQL import before activating Connections for the first time. If you’ve already activated Connections, you have to drop the Connections tables before you do the import.

Hope that helps.

Run the query in phpMyAdmin:

SELECT * FROM `wp_options` WHERE option_name LIKE 'connections%'

Of course you’ll have to change the “wp_” to match your table prefix for this query to work.

Nope, I have not tested with millions. I suppose the limitations would be the same limitations that WordPress itself has. You would definitely need a template that supported pagination.

I do know that many are using Connections with 10’s of thousands of entries and are quite happy. I hope that helps at least a little.

@ Rodger

I just answered this in your other forum post. Multiple posts aren’t necessary … it actually just makes it take longer for me to reply because these more to jump back and forth to reference to make sure I’m answering your question accurately and completely.

Here’s copy of my answer to the other post…

I’ve looked at the shortcode you’re using, just a few typos, I’ve corrected them below. Since it is long, you’ll have to triple click on it it, then you can copy the whole thing.

[connections_form default_type='organization' select_type='false' str_contact_name='Business Contact Information' category='true' photo='true' logo='true' address='TRUE' phone='TRUE' email='TRUE'  link='TRUE'  notes='TRUE' bio='false' social='false' messenger='FALSE']

Other than a few small typos, it looks like your shortcode is spot on for the info you want to capture.

I just took a look at your site. It looks like you have it mostly there. Correcting the shortcode should got it to default to an Organization and change “Entry Name” to “Business Contact Information”.
