RE: Is there a way to automate the WP account creation for each user? For example, for a directory of 500 entries, would a WP account need to be manually created for each user’s entry?

Sorry, no, there is not … that said, you could export the entries using the Email export tool and use that with a CSV bulk user import plugin to add all the users.

RE: After their WP account is created, what happens if their email address is used in an Organization entry as well as an Individual entry? Are they linked to both, or just one?

The linking only occurs when the user logs in. In the event that there are multiple entries which contain the same email address, the user will be linked to the first entry that the database returns as a match. After a link has been made where or how often a duplicate email is used because it will remained linked to that single entry, it will not get linked to multiple entries.

Hope I have answered your questions thoroughly!

ps. failed user login lockouts are temporary. It is in place only to help prevent brute forcing.

Great! From the screenshot it looks like you are using the Default Entry Card template, assuming that, here the instructions…

Open the card.php file found in this folder:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/template/card/

Look for this:

cnTemplatePart::updated(
    array(
        'timestamp' => $entry->getUnixTimeStamp(),
        'style'     => array(
            'font-size'    => '10px',
            'font-variant' => 'small-caps',
            'margin-right' => '10px',
        )
    )
);

Change it to this:

echo $entry->getFormattedTimeStamp( 'm/d/Y' );

You can change m/d/Y to any valid PHP data format.

If you decide to do this, I recommend following the instructions on how to implement a custom template override so the change is not lost when Connections is updated.

Hope this helps!

That shortcode is to output specific entries in a specific order utilizing the entry ID, not any of the messenger ID/s. It does not really do any sorting. Perhaps the quick and easy solution is the Custom Entry Order extension. You could assign each of the six streets a number and use that number to set the Entry Order field. Let’s say 1 thru 6. As an example Street X the first in the list would be 1 and Street Y would be 2 and so on. Adding those values to the Entry Order field would cause all entries with the order of 1 to be listed first followed by all entries with the order of 2 and so on.

Hope this make sense and helps. Let me know.

Sorry, no, there is not… that said, I do not see why something could be added to either Link (maybe as an entry action link) or Authored (before and/or after the latest posts) or both.

What do you have in mind? … other than to avoid manually put them in the entry.

@ christian1274

Connections does not do any redirects like these so it is unlikely to be caused by Connections… I did visit the page and it displayed fine. Did you find the issue? If so, what was it?

RE: Thanks for the response. I always work within the text tab, not the visual editor when making updates to the site. I found the open and removed it.

Ok, looks good now, the issue now seems to be a fatal javascript error in the theme which is breaking all javascript on the page which comes after the error. You can see this error by opening the page in Chrome and hitting the F12 key and then clicking the Console tab.

This is the error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'top' of undefined

In this file:

http://ctnonprofitalliance.org/wp-content/themes/alliance/library/js/scripts.js

On line 117.

RE: I would really like to get this to work, but I have limited experience in html. Is there any way to just hide Show Notes/Show Map for the time being?

Yes, you can hide the links. Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for cMap.

The page will refresh displaying the Customizer on the left and a preview on the left. Disable the option to display the bio and notes then save the changes and exit the Customizer.

Hope this helps!

ps. This will not correct the javascript error which is still preventing other scripts from running correctly.

@ Trevor

Ok, open the card.php file found in this folder:

../wp-content/plugins/connections-tile-plus/

Look for this:

$entry->getImage( array(
    'image'    => $atts['image'] ,
    'height'   => $atts['image_height'] ,
    'width'    => $atts['image_width'] ,
    'fallback' => array(
        'type'     => $atts['image_fallback'] ,
        'string'   => $atts['str_image']
        )
    )
);

Change to this:

$entry->getImage( array(
    'image'    => $atts['image'] ,
    'height'   => $atts['image_height'] ,
    'width'    => $atts['image_width'] ,
    'quality'  => 100,
    'fallback' => array(
        'type'     => $atts['image_fallback'] ,
        'string'   => $atts['str_image']
        )
    )
);

The difference being the quality setting. Hope that helps!

@ Dotty

Codewise, not, it would not be all that difficult but there is no point and click way to achieve this. Will making this change allow the other plugin to function? Not certain, sounds like they use JavaScript to do its magic. If that is the case, it should work fine. I would suggest the cMap template as the easiest and quickest way to add a map for each entry.

Hope that helps!

Changing it to an actual date would require editing the template PHP file. The only point and click option available is the ability to not display it at all. If you are comfortable editing PHP, I can provide some guidance on how to make the change.

Let me know.
