@ Matthew

I’m glad you found the issue! I did make a change roughly six months ago which changed the way the email address was sanitized. Previously it was sanitized as a plain string. Now is uses the core WP sanitize_email() function which would return an empty string for invalid email addresses. I do apologize for the trouble this change had caused!

@ Michael

Great to hear this is resolved!

@ Norman

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Display tab. Scroll down to the Categories section. Disable the Display option.

Does that help?

Do you have Form activated and configured? It sounds like you might need to use that extension. My guess is the membership plugin is doing the redirecting. BY default the add/edit links will resolve to the user’s admin profile page. Membership plugins generall have an option to block access to that page.

With Form installed and configured, the add/edit links will instead resolve to the page set as the directory home page with a form where the user can edit their directory.

If you have Form installed and configured, make sure the directory home page is set to the directory home page (where the [connection] shortcode is) and not set to the welcome page.

Hope this helps, let me know.

ps. The directory home page setting is found on the Connections : Settings admin page under the General tab.

RE: I wanted to make sure. Example: I would like to add a section for Accepted Insurance Providers, or Hospital Residencies.

Yes, it would be possible to to add those with custom fields. I would think that adding “Accepted Insurance Providers” would be best added as categories. There is a way to “break” those categories out in a separate box like that already exists for categories. This would also be compatible with the advanced search. Would that work?

In regards to searching by “First Name, Last Name, City,“, those fields are already searched by the keyword search field. Even in the advanced search addon, these are not broken out into separate search field inputs. Is that a requirement?

Searching by “Specialty “, I would enter those as categories too.

RE: I saw mention of the Advanced Search addon that you make available for Pro purchasers. Is there any way I can purchase that plugin

The Pro Pack can be purchase from this page.

Here’s the link to an addon that will allow you to “split” or “break” categories into the own box:

https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Split-Categories

I would recommend a category structure like this:

• Accepted Insurance Providers
  • Provider One
  • Provider Two
  • and, so on..
• Specialty
  • Brain Surgeon
  • Pediatrician
  • and, so on…

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ Alan

Yes, I received those emails. Let’s keep the discussion of the advanced search in the email chain so there is on a single line of communication on the subject. It’ll be easier for us to manage :)

@ Kathryn

Could you attach a screenshot of the Plugins and the Connections : Templates admin pages?

Thanks!

@ Alan

There are no plan on changing the time picker at this time. I have added this as a feature request.

@ Marne

The issue is that you are forcing the display to use the Default Entry Card template with this template="card". That template does not support search and category filtering.

I suggest removing that option from the shortcode and then navigating to the Connections : Templates admin page and activating the cMap template which does support these features.

You can also remove show_links='FALSE' and enable_category_select='TRUE' enable_search='TRUE' because those features are on by default in cMap.

I hope this helps!

@ Rita

I just emailed you a reply. Rather than having two threads of communication open, let’s keep the conversation in the email. I’m going to close and mark this resolved.

Let me know if you did not receive my emailed reply.
