The only real solution is to use a different template when viewing the single entry. You can dos this by enabling the Single Entry Template option on the Connections : Manage admin page under the Display tab. Then choose the template to display on the Connections : templates admin page by clicking the Individual and Organizational template types and activating your desired template. I suggest the default template which should already be activated by default.

Hope this helps, let me know.

You’ll need to disable the “View All” list action setting found on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab

Hope this helps, let me know.

RE: Is it possible to display at least the city and state on the cards if not the full address?

It is possible, but requires the editing of the template’s PHP files. It does not show address by default due to how much space that takes up. So, if you do this, you’ll also have to enlarge the tile size.

RE: The images on the card are not sizing correctly. How can I fix this?

How so? Can you please share a link to your directory page so I can take a look? The images are supposed to be scaled and cropped, center weighted. Which is pretty much ideal for the typical portrait shot. Here’s more info on image sizing, read the second exception. This may or may not apply. I’d have to know more of what this issue is and be able to see it.

RE: The map on the single page is not showing up. I’m at a loss.

Without being able to see you directory, I can only guess. If you enabled the Single Entry Template option in the settings. Please disable it. It is only required under very specific usage scenarios.

Hope this helps!

Follow the same instructions just change the type from text to rte. This line:

From :: 'type' => 'text',

To :: 'type' => 'rte',

I hope that helps!

Apologies for the misunderstanding. I was under the impression that a redirect loop occurred when deactivating Connections. Hence when it worked, I did not inspect further.

I ended up spending all morning on this … it was not a Connections bug or issue. In fact, the opposite, which makes sense considering Connections is not activated. When Connections was activate it was actually correcting the redirect issue which is being caused by another plugin or maybe the theme.

The redirect loop was affecting only the front page/home page, all other pages worked just fine. This discovery then lead me to the solution. Connections has a bit of code which disables a core WP “feature” which can cause redirects on the site’s home page. Something else, not Connections is causing this redirect.

To solve this for you, I installed the Code Snippets plugin and added a code snippet which includes the few lines of code from Connections which disables the front page redirect thus fixing the redirect loop while Connections is not activated/installed. Really, this is simply a bandaid solution. You probably should invest time into investigating the source or the redirect loop.

Hope this helps!

One way to do this would be using PHP and a WordPress filter. Is this something your feel comfortable doing?

Another way would to be follow the directions in this tutorial on how to change strings in Connections. The only difference is that you would use connections_income_levels as the text domain.

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ dominic

hmmm… that is the exact character I was testing and not able to reproduce the issue you’re experiencing. Perhaps it is something on your server or particular WP instance. First, you are running the latest version of Connections, right?

@ Graham

I was able to login to both your WP admin and FTP this time with no issue. I was able to deactivate and activate Connections just fine, no errors. I did it several times. I left it deactivated.

Hope this helps!

I logged back onto the site using the user/pass you gave my in you last ticket. I was able to add my entry and to edit it with no issues. Seems to be working perfect.

The only thing I see is you’re blocking access to WP profile admin pages so the users are not able to access the Connections admin profile page. But that is not a major issue.

You should enable the “View My Directory Entry” result list action as mention in the docs.. That way the user can click on that link and then the Edit My Directory link and be able to edit their entry on the site’s frontend.

Hope this helps!

ps. You’ll want to delete my test directory entry, “Steven Zahm” as I’m sure you and you client do not really not want me listed ;) The entry shows on the very last page of the directory so I doubt anyone will notice it before you get a change to delete it.

pss. If your users are logged in and not getting a view my entry and edit my entry links, then the email address added to the entry does not match exactly the email address of their WP user profile.

RE: I would like to change the field labels that are shown in the display.

Here’s a FAQ on how to change labels in Slim Plus. I would recommend that over the PHP code you’re are using.

The list of string shortcode options can be found at the top of the page.

RE: However, would still like to hide the address type label display altogether.

Just like change the label strings, you can control if they are displayed or not with shortcode options. The relevant option are at the end of the list of shortcodes, _format. Here’s a sample to remove the address label:

[connections addr_format='%line1% %line2% %line3% %city% %state% %zipcode% %country%']

Hope this helps!
