There were some minor typos which may have cause the issue. I corrected the code in your original post.

To remove the category display on the default template, remove line 29 in the template.php file found here: ../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/card

If you move the entire card folder and its contents to the ../wp-contents/connections_template folder, your changes will be safe from plugin upgrades.

Hope that helps.

Several of the premium template include category search and keyword search. They are cMap, Market and Tile Plus.

There is a standard feature in Connections that does show an alpha index, you only need to turn it on in the settings. One thing, this only jumps to that character group on the current page, it does not yet filter by character. That is planned and will come as a free upgrade to those templates.

I hope that helps!

@ michelle

Are you running any type a page caching plugin?

@ JJ

Sorry, no it doesn’t have private messaging capabilities between entries.

All the Connections tables are stored in the same database that WordPress was installed in. You need to use phpMyAdmin or similar tool to do an sql export of all the Connections tables. They are easy to identify as they all have “connections” in the name. Once you have exported the sql file, you can import that sql file into the new database. If the Connections tables already exist in the new database, you will have to drop/delete them before you import. It sounds like a lot but it only takes a few minutes with most of the time spent on logging in and out.

Ok, where to start…

There’s Link that can be used to capture the users info. The form is a little more than basic, but they only need to fill in the details they wish to fill in. Using Link, the admin can moderate the entry submissions and edits the user may want to make afterward.

Several of the templates off search such as cMap, Market and Tile Plus. And all template support the alpha index, you just need to turn it on in the settings.

The directory can be set to require login. You just need to change the settings.

WordPress has to be used to run Connections an its add-ons. What others have done is use WordPress just for their directory and linked to it from within their other CMS. Depending on your skill you could even make the WordPress part of the site look like the rest so the user wouldn’t even know they’ve gone from one CMS to another.

I hope this helps.

Here’s how to create families:

Here is an example on how to use the Family entry type.

Say we have a family, the Doe’s.

• John
• Jane
• Girl
• Boy

First, lets start with one of the parent’s, John. Create a new Individual entry for John and put in all his personal info.
Second, simply copy John and change the first name to Jane and add/change any info that relates only to her for example her birthday.
Third, do the same for Girl and Boy.

Now create a new entry using the Family type. For the Family Name enter something like “Doe, John & Jane” and then click the “Add Relation” button for each member in the family, in this example, four times. In the first column of drop downs select each family member and in the second column of drop downs select their relationships.

Finally, just add a the following attribute to the shortcode like such; [connections list_type='family']

Right now, the best template to work with families if the default template.

@ Kirk Thompson

Best guess from the screen capture is that either the memory allocated to PHP has been exhausted or there is a fatal PHP error occurring. Both of which would stop the page from showing completely. If you can give me a temp admin account I can take a closer look. The details can be posted here as a private reply.

Two things to try.

First, go to the Settings : Permalinks admin page and just click “Save Changes”
If that doesn’t work, try downloading and installing the latest version of Tile Plus. You can download the latest from you Purchase History page.

Let me know how it goes.

That can be defined as anything you want it to be. See this:
