@ Stephanie

This is correct as it is not possible to integrate with the core WordPress search because it is for searching its posts and pages. This is why Connections (and other such plugins) include their own search fields.

If you want to have a search input on your home page… use the Connections Search Widget which comes as part of the Widget Pack in your purchase of the Pro Pack.

You can place this widget in your theme’s sidebar so it shows up everywhere.

Hope this helps!

Since this is not a feature in Connections, sorry, but I do not have any suggestions for you.

@ Alice

Good to hear you were able to resolve the issue!

Yes, I was actually just digger a little deeper… I installed RCP onto my test site and I have not been able to replicate the issue. Actually, there seem to be no settings within RCP at all relating to file uploads. So, I’m not sure how Connections and RCP would conflict.

To investigate further, I’ll need a WP admin login and a FTP login for your site. The login details can be posted here as a private reply.

re: It would be great if if could use what you have now to add entries. Can you point me in the right direction for that?

I just emailed you. Let me know if you do not receive it.

Sorry, a cluster maps (as you have described) is not a yet a feature within Connections.

You issue seems unrelated to the issue in this thread.

Please make sure your CSV file is setup to meet the documented requirements.

Review and follow the tips for a successful import.

And… read the FAQ on Why is nothing being imported?

I suspect that if you exported your CSV file from Connections, the reason nothing is being imported is because you are importing into a new site where the entry IDs do not exist. This is covered in the FAQ.

Hope this helps, let me know.

ps. I’m going to mark this thread as resolved, because it is with the latest updates to WordPress and the CSV Import extension. If you have any additional issues, please open a new thread and I’ll reply promptly. Thanks.

Edit the card.php and card-single.php found in this folder:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/card/

This is the code to add a logo image. Change logo to photo to switch between the two.

$entry->getImage(
    array(
        'image'    => 'logo',
        'width'    => 100,
        'height'   => 100,
        'zc'       => 2,
        'fallback' => array(
            'type'   => 'none',
        ),
    )
);

You should also read this tutorial on how to customize the core templates, making the changes update safe.

Hope this helps!

re: Is there a way to customize the form that people will see when they update or enter their information?

There is some. navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Form tab. There is a section which allow you to choose which fieldsets to display. You can also use drag and drop to change the order of the fieldsets. This does not really allow you to hide specific fields.

I do have a Gravity Form connector in the works, still quite a bit away from being completed. It works great for adding entries, but does not yet work for editing. With this extension one can design a Gravity Form to fit their specific needs while being compatible with both Connections and all of Gravity Forms addons.

I hope I have answered your question!

re: Can you explain how to do this? Here’s the link to my directory page. You can see what it’s doing when you click individual links.

1. Create a new WordPress page, name it “Person”. Publish the page. Take note of the page ID that WordPress assigns the page. You will find this in the browser’s address bar right after you click the publish button.
2. On this new “Person” page add the [connections] shortcode only once with no options set.
3. Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the General tab.
4. Change the Directory home page to the new “Person” home page and save the settings.
5. Navigate to the existing directory page and add the home_id shortcode option to each of the shortcodes set with the page ID of the “Person” page and save the page.
6. Now all the entry links on the existing page will resolve to the new “Person” page where the shortcode exists only once displaying only a single entry when a link is clicked from the existing directory page.

re: is there a way to display multiple phone numbers without having to open the entry’s full profile?

This can only be done by editing the PHP code for the Gridder template and possibly adjusting the CSS to account for such a change.

I hope I have answered your questions thoroughly!
