Ok, those hundreds of entries that you created have email addresses added to them that match their login, correct. I’m pretty certain the answer is yes based on this reply. But I want to double check to make sure we are on the exact same page.

On the first login of one of these hundred of users, they have the option to create a new entry vs. editing the existing entry. What happens if that user, logs out and back in without creating a new entry (that’s important)?

Ok, so what exactly is the trouble… can they not edit after the first login? Or can they not edit after subquestal logins?

I reread one of your initial replies which I believe answers my question… but I am not sure I understand? Maybe if you reply back with a step by step of the process of a user logging in with a description of what is seen or not seen and what is expected that would help. Screenshots would help too.

Ok, edit the card.php file found here:

../wp-content/plugins/connections-gridder/

Change this:

    <?php $entry->getImage(
        array(
            'image'    => $atts['image'],
            'height'   => $atts['image_height'],
            'width'    => $atts['image_width'],
            'fallback' => array(
                'type'     => 'block',
                'string'   => ''
                ),
            'style'    => $atts['image_opacity'] ? array( 'opacity' => $atts['image_opacity'], 'filter' => 'alpha(opacity=' . $atts['image_opacity'] * 100 . ')' ) : array(),
        )
    ); ?>

to this:

    <?php $entry->getImage(
        array(
            'image'    => $atts['image'],
            'height'   => $atts['image_height'],
            'width'    => $atts['image_width'],
            'zc'       => 2,
            'fallback' => array(
                'type'     => 'block',
                'string'   => ''
                ),
            'style'    => $atts['image_opacity'] ? array( 'opacity' => $atts['image_opacity'], 'filter' => 'alpha(opacity=' . $atts['image_opacity'] * 100 . ')' ) : array(),
        )
    ); ?>

If you make this change, you should review the docs on custom template override files so you can make this edit update safe.

Ok, so, is that WP user account populated with an email address … one that matches the entry in Connections?

@ Juanita

Ok, does the plugin have any type of option to auto create user after login validation? If it does, try enabling it.

@ Juanita

So, there are no actual registered users in WordPress? the entire verification happens using whatever you are using to validate against AD?

I’ve scoured the WPML docs several times… usually when this issue pops up again. I can not find anywhere in there docs where they document how to enable support for data stored in custom WordPress tables which contain user generated content. The closest I could find was how to accomplish it for text widgets which does not seems to cover this use case.

Unfortunately when there users ask this question of them they seem to only get the bog standard answer to have the dev join their program :/

Add shortcode support to the title field whole doable will not be of much actual use. The database field which saves this sata is limited to only 255 characters (roughly, it is actually 255 bytes, charact can be more than a byte).

To add shortcode support, I think, this would work…

Edit the class.entry-output.php file. Change lines 896 and 897 from this:

$org  = $atts['show_org'] ? $this->getOrganization() : '';
$dept = $atts['show_dept'] ? $this->getDepartment() : '';

to this:

$org  = $atts['show_org'] ? do_shortcode( $this->getOrganization() ) : '';
$dept = $atts['show_dept'] ? do_shortcode( $this->getDepartment() ) : '';

This is completely untested…

@ Doug

All the premium templates include search, just some, the design focus is for small team directories so in that scenario search does not really make sense. The doc page for Circled covers how to enable the search feature.

Hope that helps!

@ Rich

So, I took a look at this… presently there is really no easy way to accomplish this. The entry filter is saved as a per user setting… so, it persistent and not based on a query string param. Sorry.

@ John

Gridder was designed with using headshots in mind… what you want to do is possible but it would require editing the templates PHP file. Is this something you are comfortable doing?
