Actually, I just remembered… if you are using the Default Entry Card template, yes, you can do this quite easily.

Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the Default Entry Card template.

The page will reload with the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right.

Click the back arrow in the upper left of the Customizer.

Click the Image panel.

Change the image size as desired.

Now, in the preview, click the entry name so the preview refreshes to display the details page.

Change the images size settings agin to your desired image size.

You have to do this twice because you can set the image size per view.

Click the Save and Publish button. Now you can exit the Customizer.

Hope that helps!

The only way to make this change would be to edit the template PHP code … assuming you are using the Default Entry Card template.

Looking at the code, nothing jumps out to me as fatally wrong… My suggestion, revert back to the original code for the template and add pieces of you code back in until you can isolate the error.

For example, start with adding:

echo "<h4>Ordination Info</h4>";

After you verify everything still works, then add:

$datepicker = $entry->getMeta(
    array(
        'key'    => 'deacon_ordo_date',
        'single' => TRUE,
    )
);

$text = $entry->getMeta(
    array(
        'key'    => 'deacon_ordain_bishop',
        'single' => TRUE,
    )
);

Again, verify that everything still works, then add:

if ( ! empty( $datepicker ) && ! empty( $text ) ) {

    $dateb = cnDate::createFromFormat( 'm/d/Y', $datepicker )->format( 'j F Y' );

    echo 'Deacon Ordination: ' . $dateb . ' by ' . $text . '';
}

Rinse, wash, repeat… Hope this helps, let me know.

RE: When a new user decides to register as a member (currently using WP users) will a new Connections entry be created in the directory for them?

No, it will not be created for them. This is because the WP registration only requires a username and password. Connections requires a first and last name or org name (based on entry type). So, there is no enough info available to auto create a Connections entry for the WP user on registration.

RE: Or will I have to create these new entries manually (which would then link to the user and let them modify as you explained above)?

You could do it that way, or, you could opt to let the user to choose add their own entry (assuming you have the Link extension which is require to allow a user to add/edit and maintain their own entry.)

Not sure if my answer helps clear this up for you but I hope it does.

RE: the first result shown is from parent category 16 (Mentoring)

What is the name of the first result? Is it “VIA Feng Shui Training and Mentoring – through Visual and Intuitive Arts“? If it is, it is assigned to the “feng-shui-schools” category. I’m assuming that is the “Schools” category you are mentioning. Correct? If it is, then it would appear that is is displaying correctly.

You could try using the exclude_category shortcode option. It is used in the [connections] shortcode, not the shortcode for the advanced search. Things can get really tricky when you start combining the advanced search and wanting to exclude categories.

Hope this helps!

@ Rob

Follow the steps outline is the “License Activated on Another Site” section of this FAQ.

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ Mark

Please change it back for a couple minutes so I can take another quick look.

@ Mark

“3D Printing” is showing in both places because it actually exists in both places. It is not the same category even though it has the same name. You must have entered it by mistake.

If you do not both, you need to delete one. Navigate to the Connections : Categories admin page, look for the one you do not want and then delete it.

Hope that helps!

@ Jennifer

You could try a shortcode like this on the page:

[connections template=card id=x link=false]

Where x is the ID of the entry you wish to display. Here is the doc page for the id shortcode option.

You can use the Template Customizer for the Default Entry Card to tweak what is displayed. You’ll have to disable the List Action option on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab because they would not make sense to show. Unfortunately this will also remove it from the main directory page too (if you have one).

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ Mark

I’m sorry but I do not understand what is being asked. Could you share a link to the directory link? Also, could you describe in what order the categories should appear? I am assuming you mean the category drop down, is that correct?
