@ Sharyn

See that lonely checkbox, second from the bottom on the left. That tell me the page failed to load that entry row. The reason I’ve seen in the past for this, an image which was too large to be able to be processed was uploaded. Basically the server runs out of memory. Like WP, Connections does try to prevent this from occurring.

You can try increasing the memory allocated to WordPress by following this tutorial:

• How do I increase the WordPress Memory Limit?

• How do I increase the PHP Execution Limit?

Generally, increasing the memory limit fixes the issue. If it does not, you can put a check in that checkbox and the choose the Delete option from the Bulk Actions and delete the entry. You can then add it again, using a smaller image.

Hope this helps!

Let me know.

You still need to map the Organization field otherwise the row will be skipped.

Also, when testing, like I suggested, create a CSV file with a single row. Then if you get the result your are seeking, do the rest.

Give it another test, updating the notes only so I know for sure my tweak to the import process does not remove the bio field. It should import fine, updating just the notes leaving the bio unchanged. If I can get confirmation, I can roll the change into the plugin so it is included in the next update.

Example test CSV, only one row:

Entry ID   Organization    Org Code    Notes

Do not map, the org code.

RE: somewhere along the way, the e-mail addresses disappeared from the public listings. Am I missing a setting?

If you have deactivated the Contact extension, one of its primary features is to make all email addresses unlisted so they do not display. Instead a contact form can be displayed to allow site visitors to contact the entry. This allows contact without revealing the email address.

If you wish to have the email address displayed, navigate to the WordPress Plugins admin page and deactivate the Contact addon for Connections.

RE: I also cannot seem to get the map to show at all.

Make sure you activate one of the premium templates such as cMap on the Connections : templates admin page. That will make it the default tactivate template.

If you are using teh [connections] shortcode and have the template option set, remove it. If instead you are using the new Directory block, edit the page, click the block and choose the cMap template in the template drop down option.

RE: although I have renamed the ‘bio’ section to business description, the heading switches back and forth between the two.

Where and how did you change it? Where is it switching? Sharing links will help :)

Hope this helps!

I am not able to replicate this. Please create a temp admin account using this plugin:

After a very quick look at the CSV code and the code snippet for the custom fields registration/csv import…

You are going to have to tweak the code for the cncsv_process_import() function.

Your CSV file only contains the org code, during import, this will update remaining fields with '' (no content). What you need to do is first check if the field exists, then pull its value adding a (let’s call it a) meta array and then pass that meta array to the cnEntry_Action::meta() method.

Alternatively, you could just make sure to include all the custom fields in your update CSV file.

I’m actually making the same error in the CSV Import addon when it comes to the bio and note field (several more actually). If the bio field does not exist in the CSV file the entry updates with an empty string.

I made a tweak to the code of CSV Import addon on your site, untested, but should resolve the issue with the bio field. I do an array_key_exists( 'bio', $data ) check before setting the bio/notes.

Run tow small/quick tests. Import a fresh entry to make show everything imports as expected. The do an update CSV file, just like the one you attached, but only for the new entry. Make sure it updates correctly.

Hope this helps! Let me know.

Great to hear!

RE: I was able to implement a fairly comprehensive rating system on my site. You are welcome to look and let others know, or whatever. On the home page, click on the first item’s “show / hide ratings” It has had some testing and needs work, but works! Does not modify any of your code.

I you want to share it, I’ll share it freely on this site. Put it up on a github too. Perhaps others would expand on it. Update to… I’m guessing it is more or less suited to your specific needs vs something more general/broadly usable.

RE: I need to import all the “notes” to existing entries. I made a csv with entry id, organization, and notes. When I import it, the notes are updated, the bios and at least one custom field are deleted. What am I doing wrong?

Do not know. Could be a bug. I would need to be able to replicate it in order to figure it out. I guess an CSV file containing an entry before update and a CSV containing the update info. I would also need to know more about the custom field.

@ Jason

Great to hear you have this resolved!

@ David

Edit the Entry in the admin with a link, scroll to the Links section where you added the website addresses.

Remove the Link which has been assigned to the image. If you still want the web address, you’ll have to add it again but do not assign it.

Hope this helps!

@ Janet

Please remove the quotes.

I just double checked the code… I forget you also need to add force_home=FALSE to the shortcode. I think that should do the trick.
