@ Micki

The Tile Plus template will display a Google maps of the first address on the entries profile detail page. Here’s the demo of the results list view and the profile detail view of Tile Plus.

Hope I have answered your question!

re: I need a front end guest post for a site much like 800notes.com.

So I am on the same page, when you ask about guest posting, you mean guest blog posts, correct? If that is the case, then you might want a plugin like AccessPress. I’m not specifically endorsing or recommending this plugin, it’s just the first result of a Google search.

re: After an entry has been made by a user they should not be able to edit the submission. No registration required to create a listing or comment on a listing.

If you mean guest posting as in a guest submitting an entry to the directory, all you need is the Form extension.

re: Registrations are reserved for people who want to flag a submission for removal.

Now, at this point you kind of lost me. Sorry. Could you provide more detail?

re: Are you available to do any modifications if needed?

For Connections related customization, yes, I am available and can provide a quote once project scope has been clearly defined.

re: Must i make each member a login in wordpress user part?

Yes, the user must be registered WordPress users and they must login to add/edit their entry.

Connections does not support registering users. but you can use the WordPress builtin user registration process any any number of plugins which their feature focus is user registration. There are many great freely available options which is why this is not built into Connections.

Hope this helps!

re: $atts[’email_types’] is empty:

Yes, the default is empty. Empty will for the type option will return all types.

re: One bug: I have a work e-mail address on each entry, no e-mail appear…

You have the Contact extension for Connections installed and activated, deactivate it. One of its primary features to to remove/suppress all email addresses so they can not be listed.

Hope this helps!

@ David

Paths appear correct. You copy/paste the card.php file to the new folder and modify. There is nothing to activate as Connections will automagically find the file and load it instead of the file from the original folder. This works in much the same way theme’s load their files.

@ Bob

I receive an invalid username error. Can you please confirm the login info?

[Steven Zahm]

@ Barbara

Sorry, no, not at this time. You can export the email address on the Connections :: Tools admin page using the Email export option. This will yield a CSV file that many Newsletters plugins/services will easily import into a mailing list. You can then use this mailing list to bulk email your members.

I hope this helps!

@ R Smith

I apologize if I my was confusing or not clear.

The answer is yes, with knowledge of PHP and the WordPress wpdb database abstraction class. One can use it to query any data from any plugin which stores data in the WordPress database and combine the data in any way you wish. If the plugin you want to pull data from provides some way to pull data for you and display it, then it would be easier in that you would use the other plugins code to pull and display the data within a custom Connections template. You would still have to have build some way to link the data from the two plugins.

If you are asking if their is a point on click type of interface where one can somehow link and display data from a third party plugin. Then, the answer, is indeed, no.

Hopefully I have provided a more clear answer. If not, please let me know and I’ll try to explain in a different way.

@ David

The only way to achieve this then would be to develop a custom template override file.

In most templates you will find a line of code which will be similar to this:

$entry->getAddressBlock( array( 'format' => $atts['address_format'], 'type' => $atts['address_types'] ) );

Copy paste this line for each phone type you want to display in the order you which them to be displayed. For example the code should be similar to this:

$entry->getAddressBlock( array( 'format' => $atts['address_format'] , 'type' => 'workphone' ) );
$entry->getAddressBlock( array( 'format' => $atts['address_format'] , 'type' => 'cellphone' ) );

Hope this helps!

@ R Smith

Well, the short answer, yes, it is possible. Can I briefly described how this can be accomplished, sorry no. It way too complex of a topic that would require decent knowledge of PHP and the WordPress wpdb database abstraction class.
