@ Donnie

Please update to the newly released 1.4.3 version of the CVS Import extension which has the new feature of being able to import a photo or logo from a supplied URL.

Hope this helps!

There has not been a logic change to the email output for vCard in many years … infact there may not have ever been any changes since it was originally coded, after reviewing the change history.

Honestly the logic is pretty crude. I suspect the change is simply the order the email addresses were added to the entry. Try making sure the preferred email address is the first. When editing an entry you can drag and drop then in the order you want in the vCard.

I’d like to modernize the code a bit if you’re interested in testing. Let me know.

Great to hear you found the cause. I’m sure they will have it fixed in short order.

RE: using the customizer to modify default card template also changes the entries in my custom “mycard” template.

Odd, the only reason I can think this be the case is the slug or you are actually using the card template on the page instead of your mycard template. I only mention it because others have made a similar mistake. Is you mycard template the activated template? What is the exact shortcode you are using on the page set as the directory homepage? Have you enabled the Single Entry Template option? All of which can affect the actual template being used.

RE: I don’t know If this is correct, but anyway it doesn’t work.

No, I believe this is what you want:

require_once plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'class.customizer.php';

The next update… I’ve made this change to the included Card and Profile template so it will not be an issue for other in the future.

It is very unlikely that the installation of cMap caused the rich text editor to not function as nearly all of its code run exclusively on the sites frontend. Did you by chance install or update another plugin in WP around the same time of noticing that the editor was broke? The issue you describe is more likely being caused by a plugin/theme conflict where the plugin/theme is not limiting its javascripts to their own admin pages. At least that is my experience when this pops up once in a great while.

I would first suggest running thru the plugin conflict check:

• How do I check for a plugin conflict?

Before that, you if you load the page in Chrome, hit the F12 key and click the Console tab. It list javascript errors that occurred on the page. One of those errors is likely the source of the issue. If mouseover the filename in the far right of the error, the file path will be displayed. This file path can possibly offer a clue on which exact plugin may be causing the conflict.

Hope this helps, let me know what you learn.

Well, the code for the drop down would be the same, the issue is there is no method available which can be easily implemented to search the suffix field.

I took a look at the sample you supplied. It seems there is a images column in the CSV file which contains the name of the image in the images.zip file.

If this images column only references a single image per row, that will work. What you would do is drop the unzip images folder on your webserver via FTP. I would suggest the uploads folder.

Then open the CSV file in Google Spreadsheets or LibreOffice Calc and create a new photo column. In the photo column create a simple equation which concatenates the URL to the uploads folder to the filename in the images column.

When you save the file, you’ll have a column which has the full URL.

Hope this helps, let me know.

The best way is to use the Email export tool found on the Connections :: Tools admin page under the Export tab.

You’ll be able to import this into your favorite newsletter/marketing plugin/service to do bulk emailing.

Hope this helps, let me know.

RE: I created mycard.css, but these css style definitions will be overwritten by inline style definitions.

Remove the inline styles from you custom template or use the !important modifier in the CSS.

RE: When using the customizer it has no effect. But when customizing the default “card” template, changes has effect in “card” and “mycard”

Best guess, you need to change the const SLUG = 'card'; line in card-default.php to be unique to you custom template. A point not covered in the forum post you found because, I think at the time, the Customizer feature had not yet existed. Or I forgot to mention it. Creating your own custom templates is quite a bit more difficult when compared to using template override files or moving a core template to the plugins folder.

Hope this helps, let me know.

When I checked today, the entries in each list were correct.

I did login and make one change.

You had enabled the global option to display the categories above the directory. That option is not affected by the [connections] shortcode options so I disabled it. Instead I used the shortcode to display the category list, limited to the respective categories on both pages.

Keep in mind that Connections is designed to work as a directory on a single page which is how 99% of users use it. It takes additional configuration when manually splitting the directory between pages, a feature to the best of my knowledge is unique to Connections.

Hope this helps!
