RE: For my vcard question, could I maybe make a List filtered on that specific company name, and it would just be the only one featured?

Well, you could create a “featured” category and then filter the list widget based on that category. The issue here is that it is simply a list displaying the name and optionally the logo or photo as a thumbnail.

RE: Can the plugin or an add-on to the plugin allow people to set up their own information from the front end of the website (not logged in as admin)?

Yes, you would need both the Form and Link extensions.

RE: Do you have an example of what a directory listing looks like on the front end of the website.

Check out the Showcase page for live examples. Keep in mind that Connections support templates so it has difference visual appearances depending on the chosen template.

Hope I’ve answered your questions thoroughly!

@ Abu

Well, with enough custom coding yes you could build a site like the one you linked to as an example. But “out of the box” sorry no.

Someone added the separator back to the address format using the Template Customizer for cMap. Removing the separating, removed the colon.

Hope that helps!

Slim Plus create is required thumbnail size. To get the logo to display the way you need, not cropped, you will need to manually create the correct aspect ration before you upload. Here’s a FAQ which explains how.

It’s a bit technical, but I hope it helps!

You had corrupt image… or at least a few images you site did not like for some reason. Perhaps your web host changes something. It only seemed to be a few; Mark A., Jeff A. and Deborah A.

all I did was download their images via FTP and did a save as, overwriting the downloaded image and uploaded and then they were fine.

I found these three by editing their entry in the admin, their entry would not load so it could be edited.

I initially narrowed the cause to the images by suppressing their display. It just happen to be the first thing I happened to try.

So, you might want to take a few minutes and check the remaining entries. Just because the first page of 10 loads unfortunately does not mean the remaining pages will.

Hope that helps!

Great to hear!

I think I have a fix. Try this…

Edit this file:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/class.retrieve.php

Search for this line:

$atts['meta_query']['meta_query'][] = array( 'key' => $meta[1] );

Replace it with these:

isset( $k ) ? $k++ : $k = 0;
$atts = cnArray::add( $atts, "meta_query.meta_query.{$k}.key", $meta[1] );

Does that fix it?

I’ve been able track down the exact line of code causing the issue… I think it has to due with a change in PHP7… what once was okay, will now throw a fatal error. Not sure why the error is not being displayed… might have to due with object caching. Working on a solution now.

@ Cole

I can duplicate the issue using your shortcodes, both. If I remove order_by='meta_key:category|NUMERIC_ASC,meta_key:order|NUMERIC_ASC' the page loads as it should.
