When adding your entries, to make the ones you do not wish to be public, set them as “Private” these will only display when the user is logged in.

For entries that are public, leave them set as “Public”.

Then do not require a login to the view the directory.

Does that help?

@ Henry de Jong

Sorry, no, this cannot be done via the shortcode at this time. There are enough hooks and filters in Connections where one could write some custom queries to do this.

@ Ryan

Connections can do this but it would require quite a bit of customization. I think plugins you chose will require a quite a bit of customization to achieve the solution you are looking for. You might want to look at this plugin.

Hope this helps, let me know.

re: What do I have to do to have the business page show up even for users that are not logged in?

My best guess by looking at the page is that you set the page to require a login via Ultimate Member. I’m not really that familiar with that plugin so you’ll have to refer to that plugins’ docs to change it so that the page does not require a login to view.

Hope that helps, let me know.

Yes, unlisted or unapproved entries should not be displayed. I fixed the bug so this will be corrected in the next update. For not, the only way to fix this is to remove them from the family.

Yes, I received your email. I’ll reply to it next.

@ Emmanuel

You are going to want the Link extension and the Form extension.

The doc for both of these can be found on their doc pages.

Hope that helps.

This can be tweaked using CSS only. Increasing the font size will mean you will need to increase the tile size too.

Here’s the CSS for the font size:

#cn-tile-plus .cn-entry {
    font-size: 1em !important;
}
#cn-tile-plus .cn-entry .fn {
    font-size: 1em !important;
}

Add it to the theme’s custom CSS area.

Here’s the link to the FAQ on how to change the tile size.

Hope that helps!

re: Can the directory be integrated into the main site search plugin functions?

Sorry, no, this is not possible because the WordPress search is only able to search posts and pages and custom post types [CTP (requires code a a plugin to enable)].

re: we are currently using “Company Directory Pro” and have been having issues with the CSV upload process. How does “Connections” compare?

Actually, I do not know since I have never used it. Glancing over their plugin page. I would say Connections is more feature filled than the Company Directory Pro plugin. Seems like it might work with SearchWP because it looks like it might use a CTP to save the contact details. Connections uses custom tables with a db schema more optimized for directory vs. CPT which are optimized for post/page content. Which is one reason Connections can not integrate into the core WordPress search.

I hope I have answered your questions thoroughly!
