On the Connections : Tools admin page there is an export tool for entry names and email addresses. You can use the resulting CSV file to create your mailing list.

Hope that helps!

Sorry, no. This would require an app on the phone that could “talk” to Connections. I am working on some major backend (code) changes that would make the possibility of such an app possible but, alas, I am not an app developer so I could not develop such a solution.

I hope I have answered your question.

You are going to need two pages.

Navigate to to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Display tab. Disable the “Display the categories above the results list?” if you have it enabled.

Create a second page and add the [connections_category] shortcode to it. You’ll need to set the force_home option. Here’s an example:

[connections_categories force_home=true]

Now your category image grid and listing are on separate pages.

Hope this helps!

I’m sorry is not what I thought it was … it looks like someone has modified an old version of Connections. I do not know if these modifications are cosmetic or something far more extensive/substantial. The admin add/edit page definitely appears broke. How broke, I do not know. The directory on the site’s frontend seems to work fine as well as submitting entries on the site’s frontend seems to work fine so that’s good… maybe, just maybe, that means the changes were not extensive.

My suggestion, get in touch with whomever you had modify Connections and have them make the necessary changes to get the admin add/edit entry page working again since their should familiar with the changes they made. Hopefully they can make the necessary modifications.

I can probably fix it too but this would be outside the scope of normal support since I would be fixing a customized version of Connections. This would entail a service fee. I can provide a quote but I would need FTP access in order to evaluate the extent of the changes and what it would take to fix the issue.

re: We are unable to limit excerpt length even after placing the shortcode “[connections template="circled" excerpt_length=100]” in the page

Which site? I looked at this page and it seems to be limited.

re: also it takes much time to load the page as we have 800 entries.

You need to enable pagination in Circled. This is not a Connections bug or limitation, you would also experience slow load times if you tried to load 800 WordPress post on a single page too.

@ Y0ung

If you can give me a temp WP admin login and a FTP login, I will take a close look and try to resolve these issues. The login details can be posted here as a private reply.

@ simone

Ok, I tried again … I always copy/paste t prevent my typos and I still can not get in :(

re: Am I correct to assume that the redirect only works on a NEW form submission and not on an UPDATE to an existing listing? That’s how mine functions.

I had to look at the code again…

Id does appear the only condition where the page is not redirected is when user has updated their entry.

Not sure why I made that distinction or if if was an oversight by me when adding the redirect feature. I’ve made note of it to investigate further.

@ hatton

I wanted to loop back to you to mention that the next release of Connections and the Hours extension will be (hopefully) perfectly compatible with time formats such as H\hi and H\h i\m\i\n. The later I believe is what you were using, correct?

Hope this helps!

ps. It was actually quite an effort to enable this. It was actually a quite complex issue to resolve.

re: What is this checkbox for in the Form settings?
“Whether or not to redirect to a page after a successful submission”.

By default when an entry is submitted by a user the page will display a processing and then a thank you message. If needed you can optionally redirect to another page in your site. To enable the redirect, enable the Redirect option and then choose the page that the user should be redirected to.

YOu can only redirect to a separate page as an option. There is not an option to redirect pack to the user’s entry.

I do understand what you are asking for and have added it to my feature request list.

re: I was able to come up with the MySQL query though as mentioned above.

Well, yeah, with code it is definitely possible. When I said it was not, it was in context that there is no setting or configuration option available.

You could very likely use this:

Connections_Link::viewURL();

This function will return the URL of the user’s profile detail page. You possible could use this to redirect using the wp_safe_redirect( $location, $status ); function to do the redirect … rather than making a SQL query.

Hope this helps!
