re: My images are uploading with a weird dimension, as seen on this page:
http://184.154.247.155/~busin814/member-directory/name/guy-brami
Any idea how I can fix this?

I suspect you set the image crop mode to “Resize to fit the specified dimensions (no cropping)” for the Medium Image Setting on the Connections : Settings admin page. I highly recommend change the settings back to their defaults. In this case the crop mode should be “Crop and resize proportionally to best fit the specified dimensions, maintaining the aspect ratio.“.

re: I need to make the Category on the Member Directory page link to the individual page,

You would use the $entry->getCategory() function to return the array of category objects (cnTerm_Object) attached to an entry. Since you are attaching a single category to an entry you can pop off the first category object from the array and use the category->name link as the link text and use the $entry->getPermalink() function for the link href.

Hope that helps!

re: I would like to add a link to “modify current entry”, something like “edit” in regular wordpress posts.

Where would you link this link? I ask because there are already a couple edit links added. When you are viewing the single entry profile detail page, on the adminbar, there is an Edit Entry link. If you have the [Form extension] installed, when viewing the single entry profile detail page, there is a Edit Entry link shown above the entry which allow you to edit the entry in the frontend.

Does this answer you question? Let me know.

Sorry, no, there is not a way to automagically add backlinks to the directory. There really is not a way to do this automagically and not be very resource intensive. It probably would be too bad to do a word by word search to find matches based on name when doing a post save. The really issue would be multiple word names. Ideally directory backlinks would be tagged somehow so they could be easily parsed from the page content. But, if you’re tagging something, at that point it is probably just best to manually add the link like any other link.

I suggest the cMap template. It is currently our easiest to use and most customizable template which includes the features you need.

You can switch to this template quite easily and nothing will be lost. In fact you leave everything as is. You would install cMap then activate it on the Connections : Templates admin page.

Hope that helps!

re: I dont no how shoud i implement this snippet

You would install the Code Snippets plugin and add it as a new code snippet. Be sure to save and activate the snippet.

re: I need an exact search over Categories like in post (not AND/OR only explezit AND

This snippets not going to do that. It will only return entries as results have the exact phrase entered by the user. There is no OR/AND operation, only exact. Additionally, it does not search categories. That is what the category drop down filter is for on cMap.

Not sure if my answers helps, but hope it does.

@ Игорь Афанасьев

I’m sorry, not sure I understand the question. Could you give more detail?

@ Bill

Well, I do not see any errors coming from Connections. There are errors from two other plugins though; Easy Columns and Huge-It Google Maps. I suggest temporarily deactivating those plugins and see if the directory page loads.

@ Alan

Ok, the db structure is definitely out of date. How did you update Connections? I ask because an upgrade should have been triggered.

At this point the only way to do it is to trigger it manually. If you can supply me with an admin login, I can login and make a slight edit to trigger the upgrade.

@ Alan

I am unable to view the link because the site is redirecting away from it. Likely whatever the plugin you are using to manage the site preview. Save the system info as a text file and attach it as a private reply. Thanks!

@ Kristen

Either the theme or another plugin is loading CSS which is breaking the display of the dropdown. Impossible to give you a solution from a screenshot. I would have to have access to the page. The best I can do at this point is point you to these two FAQs:

• How do I check for a theme conflict?
• How do I check for a plugin conflict?

Hope that helps, let me know.
