Try adding this to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-gridder .cn-list-body {
    letter-spacing: normal;
    word-spacing: normal;
}

I think that should fix it.

Well, technically, it is possible but it would require that it be custom coded solution. I do offer custom development solution for Connections if you are interested. To contact me to define project scope and receive a quote, use the Contact link at the very bottom of the page.

As for updating with CSV, that too is possible. You would need the CSV Import extension. You would do you initial import with this extension. When you need to make changes, you would export the data from Connections as a CSV file, make your changes and then import it again. To do updates with a CSV file, you’ll have to use the CSV export from Connections, not from another source.

I hope I have thoroughly answered your questions.

Ok, great! Open the card.php file found in this folder:
../wp-content/plugin/connections-gridder/

Look for this block of code:

$number = $entry->getPhoneNumberBlock( array( 'preferred' => TRUE, 'format' => '%number%', 'return' => TRUE ) );

        if ( $number ) {

            echo $number;

        } else {

            $entry->getPhoneNumberBlock( array( 'format' => '%number%', 'limit' => 1 ) );
        }

Change it to this:

$entry->getPhoneNumberBlock( array( 'format' => '%number%' ) );

That’s it. If you make this change, I suggest giving the tutorial on custom template override files a read. You’ll want to place your modified file in another folder to make it update safe.

Ok, it seems the theme is applying text-align: justify; to the body #main div. To override and set back to the default, add this to the theme’s custom CSS area:

div#cn-list {
    text-align: initial;
}

Hope that helps!

Here’s the absolute most basic way to set up what you want.

• Disable the “Submit New Entry” link on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab.
• Follow the instructions to configure Link. Only the config section of the docs, when you get the the Shortcodes section, stop.
• Add the Login widget to your theme’s sidebar.
• Enable the “Display the “View My Directory Entry” link?” and “Display the “Edit My Directory Entry” link?” options in the widget under the logged in user section.
• Save the widget.
• Make sure you have the “Anyone can register” option is enabled on the WordPress General Settings admin page enabled.

Now, in your theme’s sidebar you will see the typical WordPress login for. Underneath it you’ll see the registration link which will take the user to the standard WordPress user registration page.

After your user registers and they login in, the will see a link to add their entry if the do not have one and if they do they will see a link to view their directory and edit their directory.

Hope this helps!

re: I want a button at the connections start site: NEW ENTRY (just for logged in users).

You’ll want the Link extension. This extension allows you registered users to add and maintain their own directory entry.

re: Isn’t there a filter fuction? I have two types of Companys on my directory, i would like to let the users filter the directory first.

If you mean a category and/or search feature, yes, that is available. You’ll need any of the premium templates.

If that is not what you are asking… there are also many shortcode options available to you to limit (filter) what the directory displays.

Hope that helps!

Ok I was able to connect. My local firewall was blocking the connection.

The issue was the .htaccess file. It did not exist and WordPress is unable to write to it. This will very likely cause you future problems. This is something your host will have to fix.

I manually added the .htaccess file and added the default WordPress rewrite rules. The permalinks now work correctly.

Hope this helps!

@ James

Add two columns to the CSV file, example:

Link | Website | URL and Link | Website | Title

When you import, these will auto map and import as a single link with a URL and a title.

Hope that helps!

@ Rachel

Looks like something is setting a max width. Unfortunately I can not tell you what. If you can share a link to your directory page, I’ll take a look and provide the CSS to correct.
