The roles settings are to allow groups of users within a specified role to perform certain actions within Connections. This does not link a specific user to a specific entry. It just so happens I just release a new add-on that will accomplish exact what you’re seeking to do. Please check out Link.

Thanks! Perhaps I should add an additional note about this effect.

If you use a template such as cMap, Market or Tile Plus you can separate directories by root parent categories. Here’s a link to a FAQ that explains in more detail. I hope that helps!

@ Gary Reading

Are you able to do some minor PHP editing?

@ nigel

Just to confirm, after you clicked the geocode button, you did click the update button so the change was saved?

If one or both of the shortcode overrides at the bottom of the General settings was checked, that would cause the message not to be displayed. Were one of those checked?

To do what you want, some good old fashioned CSS will do. If the theme has a custom CSS area, add the following to it.

div.cn-image-none {
    display: none !important;
}
div.cn-entry div.cn-left {
    display: none !important;
}
div.cn-entry div.cn-right {
    float: none !important;
    width: auto !important;
}

Hope that helps!

Actually it is much simpler than that.

To allow the public / non-users to view the “Public” entries, nothing needs done. The check boxes you referenced, should be unchecked.

To require users to login to view the “Public” entries the “Require registered users to login before showing the directory.” box must be checked.

The two shortcode overrides, generally, should always be un-checked. Those allow the shortcode options to override the “Require registered users to login before showing the directory.” option and allow the display of an “Public” or “Private” entry. You only really ever want to enable these if your directory is private and you want to be able to display and entry without having to open up the entire directory.

When the directory requires login, the definition of “Public” and “Private” entries changes which can be confusing. I hope that helps! Many thanks!

Should be fixed now. Let me know if it hasn’t.

Another question, can you double check your settings on the Connections : Settings admin page under the General tab? Also, are the entries set as Public or Private?
