Sorry, but Connections has none of these features. Maybe the Church Admin plugin is what you are looking for. Or maybe a hosted service like Planning Center.

Hope this helps!

I logged in… it appears that all 115 entries in the CSV file have been imported yesterday. Am I just to delete them so I can see the issue? How did you get all to import if you were having trouble? Did you import in smaller batches? Or are the 115 just a smaller subset of a larger file you are trying to import?

Connections is tested on PHP5.2.x and greater. So is cMap. PHP 5.6 is faster and more resource efficient. So, that could account for it. If you host has the option to run PHP7.1. I recommend switching to it as it is far faster and more resource efficient. Not all plugins will work and fail to run. You’ll notice immediately if that is the case. WP actually even recommends PHP7.

I’m releasing an update today which includes significant vCard enhancements. I tested with Windows Contact and Google Contacts. The new vCard now exports far more data in a format that is Google Contacts compatible. From what I’ve read, Google Contacts vCard Import was designed to play nice with contacts exported from Apple Contacts… so, the vCard should be better supported by Apple Contacts too.

Sounds like the resources allocated to PHP have been exhausted. I see you have all (most?) the other template activated too. Try this, deactivate the other and activate cMap again. Same result? If you can activate cMap, then try deactivating all other plugins you are not using and then reactivate the Connections template. What’s the result?

I tested importing on my test site and it imported fine. It did take longer to import due to the images but that was expected.

I suspect that the web host is either preventing the increasing of the PHP max execution limit or hard limits it to some amount. This is something Connections and other plugins due dynamically to prevent these types of issues.

The import happens in batches of 100. Another user had a similar issue and I hard to force a limit of only 10 per batch. I suspect doing the same for you will help.

As for the email, use any random fake email address since this is just for a temp admin account which you’ll delete after we’re done. Just create a username and password with a fake email. Post the login back here as a private reply.

RE: I am wondering if you have another idea of how to make the profiles come up in search

Sorry, but here is not a way to commingle core WP post search results with the directory search results.

You could probably create a custom theme search page which passes the core WP search terms to Connections and display those results before or after the core WP search results.

RE: Scenario 1, is it possible to extend the scope of the keyword search so that it searches outside of the category specified in the shortcode? This would be ideal and simplify everything, requiring only one shortcode instance.

You can try the code from this tutorial.

RE: Scenario 2, is it possible to have search results displayed on a different page – a different template as it were – which contains a single shortcode with different listing parameters?

Yes, that is what the home_id option can help with this. Can you describe how it did not work? I see you are using an older version of Tile Plus. Perhaps that is why it is not working.

As a third option, you could try the Custom Entry Order extension. Since it sounds like you only need to display the senior management first. I believe that would accomplish your goal.

Similarly, I would suggest the Custom Category Order extension. That way you can order the categories in the drop down in the order you wish without have to use number prefixes.

RE: My site crashed earlier today.

Could you better define “crash”? More specifically what was the actual result? Any error messages?

What version of cMap? Is it the latest? is it “stock”? Meaning, have there been any edit made to it? Have you created any custom override files? Do you have any code snippets added to your site for Connections or cMap?

Did you recently apply any other updates when this started?

Can you share the link to the directory page?

@ Adam

There’s nothing available to read. You would hook into like the other filters:

add_filter( 'cn_search_results_messages', 'cn_gender_search_results_messages' );

function cn_gender_search_results_messages( $messages ) {
    $messages['cn-gender'] => 'The results are being filtered by gender.';
    return $messages;
}

You would of course add the logic to deal with changing the message string based on if gender is being search and by which.
