@ Alex

Three things…

1. You need to update the district value within the addresses array. Your code example writes just the new district value to a new variable.
2. You need to serialize the array before saving it back to the database.
3. The example code is not actually writing any value back to the database. The example code I think will just empty the addresses value.

Hope this helps!

@ Brian

Do you have the Link extension installed? That extension is required to link a user to a directory entry so they can edit their link entry. Does that help?

@ Rich

Sorry, no, there is no filter that can be applied to remove that option. I’ll add the feature request list.

@ Jennifer

I hear you loud and clear on your requested features, all on my list. It comes down to time and resources.

There is new third party plugin which adds the ability to add “offers” or coupons to entries, you might want to check it out.

It it part of their larger offering of taking Connections data to an iOS/Android app.

As for a claim en entry feature. We can probably work together to get something developed. Can you describe step by step how you envision such a feature working. It would have to be built in into the Link extension since a linked user would be the result of someone claiming an entry.

re: How can I have the CSV importer take the Photo URL and Logo URL fields from my import file and add them to the entry? Is this something custom you can quote for me?

I can give you a quote to add this feature for you. I’ve done some work in the past to add this but had not yet finished it due to low demand, so, I would not be starting from scratch.

For a quote, please contact me using the Contact link at the very bottom of the page. Thanks!

@ Rebecca

Great to hear!

@ Terri

I’ve thought about this and I can really only think of two solutions…

Put the info in the bio or notes fields. Or, create a custom template which does not make the email links clickable. I do like the latter because I do plan on checking for ensure email addresses are valid before allowing them to be submitted.

Not sure if that helps, but hope it does.

@ Jennifer

Yes, you’ll need the Link extension and, optionally, the Form extension if you would like to add frontend editing.

Hope that helps!

@ Mitch

Well, you would remove the multiple category search shortcode and then a template like cMap. cMap has the search enabled by default so it would not need to be turned on. Though it you want to use it on your other pages too… you should turn search off.

Hope that helps!

re: Is there a file where the data is stored on my old site that I can simply upload to the new site?

Sorry, no, the data is stored in the database just like all the WordPress posts and pages. Storing it in a file would be very, very, inefficient.

Installed All-in-one WP migration on my test site in order to verify that the data was being exported… but, they unfortunately use a proprietary export format which is impossible to decompress outside of their plugin.

Since I am unable to verify their functionality, I’m going to have to recommend that you use the Duplicator plugin instead to migrate your site since I know for a fact that it does properly support exporting custom WordPress tables and properly imports them. I still recommend ensuring the FULLTEXT option is off during migration in case the destination version of database is older than then the source.

If you need to use All-in-one WP migration, I’m sorry, but you’ll have to reach out to their support to ask why it is not properly migrating the data. I prefer to assist you to get this resolved but since I am unable to verify that the data is being exported there is not much I can do for you. Id do find it odd that the data is not being migrated because custom tables in WordPress is a fairly common thing in WordPress plugin. Meaning a great deal many plugins use them, many far more popular than Connections. So it is almost certain that All-in-one WP migration processes them. And there is nothing really special about the tables Connections uses that would cause issues.

I just reread your original post, since the categories are migrated, are you certain, the entries are not there? Perhaps the list is filtered so no results are displayed? Could you please give me a temp WP admin and I’ll take a quick look. Details can be posted here as a private reply.
