RE: But what kind of prayer do you have to say that Connections finds out that the card.php is in a folder named connections-templates in the child theme?

Put the override template file in the connections-templates folder in the child theme folder, that path is covered in the dev doc, copied here:

../wp-content/theme/{child-theme}/connections-templates/{slug}

Connections does “find out” where the card.php file is… that is afterall how it is possible to load the file so it can be used.

Connections, however, does not delete plugin files, that is WordPress, which is how it updates all plugins… very basically, WP deletes the plugin folder contents and then copy the new plugin files to that folder. Since the template override file is not in the plugin folder, it will not be deleted by WP.

The process is not much unlike the WP Child Theme process where you can update the parent theme without affecting the child theme’s files. And, it is very much, like other plugins which provide the ability to override template files… which is to code the template logic to look for template files outside of the plugin folder and if fund load them instead.

Hope this make sense now, so it can help!

RE: Are the snippets ok?

Glancing over the code, the snippets look alright… the proof will be in the pudding, so to speak. Do an one row import and followed by an export. If the data imported/exported then you know the snippets are good to go.

Only one suggestion though. I did update the import snippet example on Friday (maybe Thursday). So, you may want to review and update your snippet accordingly:

RE: How to show only one category in a site. Is there a shortcode with the id from the category?

If I understand the question correctly, then yes, here’s the doc link:

Hope this helps!

If you use the Form extension and only permit users to make edits via that frontend form, you can configure it to send you submission emails.

Would that help?

RE: the template overrides are in the card.php in the plugin connections-tile-plus.
After every update my changes are gone!

Please see this dev doc on where to save custom template override files in order for them not to be removed by WP during plugin updates:

Hope this helps!

RE: At first I thought a simple back button approach would work however whist this does take you back in Firefox and Chrome it does not do so in IE11 where you are just taken to the advanced search page with no entered data.

Sound like an IE issue, from a quick web search:

Hope this helps!

Hmmm… that looks like a local firewall block, not Connections in WP. Od since there is nothing being downloaded. During that process the only upload occurs, that data that was entered for the entry and the photo or logo if one was added. I think you’ll have to contact your local IT support staff to see if this is a false positive that they can whitelist.

Hope this helps!

I just took another look? Where did you see the Connections Market – Template? It should not be in new purchases.

[Steven Zahm]

RE: Which key do I use for this one ?

Market is a deprecated, no longer supported, template. The file only exists to ensure those who purchased it in the past still have access to it. You should use the cMap template instead.

Hope this helps!

@ Fabien

I just sent an email with the PDF filled in. let me know if you do not receive it.

@ Fabien

I was just doing some server maintenance and notices I’ve been receiving many emails from those in your organization… those are unmonitored bot accounts. The reason why the email states at the very top/beginning not to reply to them. Please use the support forum for the replies. Thanks!
