re: Thomas

That would indicate that the database is out out date. I’ll need to take a closer look. If you can give me a temp WP admin account I’ll log in and take a look. The login details can be posted here as a private reply.

That is very odd. If you can give me a temp WP admin login, I’ll log in and take a look. The login details can be posted here as a private reply.

re: My page at: http://www.treyburn-test.org/directory/ is the one set for the “Home” connections page. It has the following code:

You should only put the shortcode on the page once. Shortcode options go in one shortcode, not a second instance of the shortcode. With two shortcodes on the page you are displaying the directory twice, once with all entries and once where entries assigned to categories 3 and 5 are excluded.

re: And if you visit this page you will see that 1) it does not prompt you to log in and 2) it displays Categories 3 and 5 and all of them.

Three things…

1. If you are logged into WordPress, you will see the directory. Please log out.
2. I see that you are using W3TC, if you are logged out of WordPress and see the directory perhaps W3TC is serving the old cached version of the page prior to you enabling the require login.
3. Triple check to ensure you have in fact have the require login option enabled.

Hope this helps, let me know.

The advanced search or multiple category search is an addon which I sell as a service which includes installation and configuration because it is beta but production stable. Beta only because still lacks a configuration interface. If you are familiar with WordPress shortcode and are very comfortable working with them, I also will send it with instructions to those who request it and who have purchased either the Extension Pro Pack or the Pro Pack.

You can see it in action on this following site in the “Find A Therapist” section:

Hope that helps!

Like this:

$entry->getCategoryBlock(
    array( 'separator' => ', ', 'child_of' => X )
);

Where X would equal the parent category ID of the children categories to display.

Hope that helps!

I knew it made http text links into real links but it also does with text links that being with www. Honestly, I never really knew that until now. Connections applies a core WP filter called make clickable on the bio and notes before it is displayed. This filter automatically adds the http to both the www text and the href. There is no way to turn it off. What can be done is the make clickable filter can be removed. Install the Code Snippets plugin and add this as a new snippet:

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', 'cn_remove_make_clickable', 11 );
function cn_remove_make_clickable() {
    remove_filter( 'cn_output_bio', 'make_clickable', 9 );
}

Hope that helps!

@ Linda

Can you better describe how it does not work? Do see just the shortcode? Do you see the login form, but it does not work? So on… the more detail the better I can help.

Assuming you are using the Default Card template…

Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the Default Card template.

The page will refresh with the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right.

Click the back arrow in the upper left of the Customizer.

Click the Advanced panel.

Change the Name Format to: %last%, %first%.

Now click an entry name in the preview. It does not matter which. The preview will refresh displaying the single entry profile detail view. Change the name format again if you wish. This is required twice because both views can be configured separately for flexibility.

Finally click the Save and Publish button and exit the Customizer.

Hope this helps!

@ Matt

It appears their directory solution is custom coded or is run on top of another CMS solution that is not WordPress.

The closest solution available would be similar to the following site in the “Find A Therapist” section

https://sscit.org/

The multiple search is done by using categories in Connections. This multiple category search is actually compatible with all templates. The individual template would have to be configured to turn off their search features.

Currently I do not offer this as an individual item for sale because it is beta (but production ready). Primarily because there is no interface to configure it. I do provide installation and configuration as a service which would be in addition to the purchase your desired template. If you are familiar with WordPress shortcodes and are comfortable using them, if you purchase either the Extension Pro Pack or the Pro pack I will be more than happy to send you a copy to you with instructions on how to configure it.

I hope I have answered your question thoroughly!

You can use the home_id shortcode option.

Create a second page with the Connections shortcode with home_id option set to the ID of the first page.

On the original page add the home_id option but with the ID of the second page. Make sure to only list the initial first page in the site’s nav.

Hope this helps, let me know.
