If you are receiving this error, this is more than likely being caused by the server and its restrictions or its file mime type handling is incorrectly configured. You would have to consult your webhost to get that fixed.

That said, it is likely much easier to following the instructions to in this FAQ on how to deal with the “ERROR: Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.” error message.

Hope this helps!

Now I understand, the home_id shortcode option is what you want to use on the GERI page. Sounds like you figured that out.

Glad to help!

Install Code Snippets, copy past the example code and change that one word ( cn_email_options to cn_link_options. Save and Activate the snippet.

As is the code will add two new links types, “primary” and Secondary”.

You can change those to suit or add more or add just one. For example:

function cn_my_new_link_types( $options ) {

    $options['codemail'] = 'Code Mail';

    return $options;
}

add_filter( ‘cn_link_options’, ‘cn_my_new_link_types’ );

This will add a single new option which you can import into, or, add manually when you add/edit an entry.

There is no other code to change or edit.

Hope that helps clear it up.

The best method to print is to use the CSV Export tool to export all the entry data. Import that CSV file into an Excel file and then setup a mail merge in Word using the Excel file as the mail merge source data.

Since you have custom fields setup, you need to also configure those fields so the CSV export tool knows about them and will export that data too. Here’s tutorial on how to do export to a text field.

Hope this helps, let me know.

Well, you should not select based on slugs, those can change. You should select on id and joined tables by entry_id. The entry_id is how the data is linked.

What I suggest, install the Query Monitor plugin. Then create a page, add the Connections shortcode to it and limit it to the “county-extension-office” by ID category.

The shortcode would look like this:

[connections category=X]

X would equal the category ID for the “county-extension-office” category.

Use Query Monitor inspect the queries created by Connections. You’ll find the queries used to create a list of entries limited by category. You should be able to copy/past and alter as needed.

Let me know if that helps.

@ Garrett

If I understand, you want the link of the user to change depending on which category they are assigned? And certain category links to go to specific pages? That’s not really possible.

Links for a page will resolve to the page it is on. The widgets will resolve to the page defined as the directory home page.

There’s really only one option available that comes close, it is the home_id shortcode option using this shortcode option you can tell Connections to redefine which page the links within the current page should resolve to. The widgets will remains unaffected, they will always resolve to the page set as the directory home page.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I hope it is, let me know.

@ Saffron

Great to hear, glad to help!

No, importing into data fields will not create clickable links. I have not tested such a scenario but I do easily envios that would completely break the field as it expects a valid data format.

If you need more link fields to import into, you could add custom link types. You would do it just like custom email types. But, instead of cn_email_options for the filter name, you would use cn_link_options.

Hope that helps!

@ Kevin

The shortcode is [connections]. How to show you directory on page can be found in Step 4 of the Quick Start.

Hope that helps!
