RE: I took note of one of your comments in another thread about using order_by=”meta_key” and having to allocate all entries with a value accordingly, or else they won’t show. But would it not work in conjunction with other sort parameters, so that it sorts by meta_key and then something else?

Sure, I think it should work with other sort parameters.

RE: I created a role with connections_manage activated. The only caveat is that I have to figure out who the editor is and assign each one to the role is that also correct or is there a magic button that will put them each in that role?

Sorry, I do not follow … not sure how Connections is to “know” who is to be an editor.

Hmmm… what happen if you make change to the CSV file and then import it, but do not map the Photo/Logo fields?

Did notice this yesterday… but you actually have custom CSS being applied. Specifically this:

ul.cn-category-list li {
    float: left;
    list-style-type: none;
    margin-right: 10px;
}

If you do not want to display is as a list, navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page, click the Display tab and scroll to the Categories section. Change the second “Display Style” option from List to Block. Now, the category separators will be displayed.

Hope this helps!

RE: Can you think of any solution to prevent this? Maybe an error when pressing Search if the autocomplete is not selected?

I had tried various solutions all were kind of buggy in some way. Probably these best solution is to clear the field if a user does not make a choice so it is a little more obvious they are not search based on distance.

I plan on rewriting this addon soon(ish) building using as new WordPress Editor block. I can investigate options again at that point.

RE: Because visitors also fill in the name of a city instead of the zipcode, I would like to put a pattern on the inputfield. Is that possible?

Possible, yes, you would have to edit the plugin file to do so.

Here’s a quick article on a couple suggestions in dealing with zip and form inputs.

No problem! Glad to help!

RE: your site respectively the
“connection” plugin also seems to enqueue leaflet.js

Thew JS file is only enqueued on pages where Connections actually renders a map. Take a second look at the file being included. Notice that is is a CSS file and not a JS file.

RE: I am trying to track down a possible conflict with MapMarkers plugin

It probably a lot better to use the Chrome Dev tools to simply block the file which Connections loading. It’s what I do.

Not knowing the exact issue you are trying to debug, I did find two issues affecting Maps Marker caused by the theme. The icons for the map style layer control and category layer control are not being displayed as well as the map reset. This is because the theme has set the background images for the a tag to 0% globally. Why would they do that?

Add this to the theme’s custom CSS area generally found in the theme Customizer:

.leaflet-control-layers-toggle {
    background-size: auto;
}

.maps-marker-pro .mmp-control-resetview {
    background-size: auto;
}

That should correct those issues.

RE: Can you direct me to where you do the enqueuing so I can check? I really want to see if I can get both plugins to play nicely!

Sure, but at this point my finger is pointing at the theme :)

Here is where the CSS is being enqueued:

https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/8.37/includes/class.scripts.php#L673

Here’s where the JS is enqueued:

https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/8.37/includes/map/class.map.php#L53

Hope this helps!

@ twtts

Use connections_form as the text domain.

Hope this helps!

@ Joel

I’m sorry, but you should not use the HTML generated by the shortcode on it is own … you should use the actual shortcode itself. Using the generated HTML makes it “static in the page, it will not, as an example, show newly added categories. Which is pretty much the reason you do not see categories on that page, the category options are completely missing.

Edit the page in the admin, remove the HTML, and use the [connections] shortcode.

Hope this helps!
