If the class.filesystem.php is indeed in the ‘../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/’ folder … you’ll have to contact your host to ask why it it can not be read by PHP.

@ Rob

Navigate to the ../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/ folder via FTP. Is the file there?

@ Christine

Here’s the CSS:

#cn-excerpt-plus .cn-detail {
    color: white;
}

Hope that helps!

Sure. Login details can be posted here as a private reply.

It seems something inadvertently deleted the class.filesystem.php which is why you are receiving the failed to open stream: No such file or directory. You’ll have to reinstall Connections. To do this, delete the installed copy and install it as you normally would. You data is safe and will remain since that is saved in the WordPress database.

Hope that helps!

re: Is there a widget or shortcode allows you to display only the search

Yes, there is a search widget that comes with the Widget Pack. You can use the search widget to place the search in the theme’s sidebar. Or you can add the search Widget to the Connections Shortcode Widgets and create a shortcode for the widget.

re: How many entries can it handle?

Since cMap paginates the results 20 per page … in theory, no limit. I’ve seen users use it on directories with 10’s of thousands of entries.

Did you get my email??? I addressed everything in the email.

re: So, again the signup widget on this site is down, and I don’t know what plugins I must remove to make it start working.

Copied from my email reply:

“If you are not seeing the widget, then it was removed from the sidebar. Perhaps accidentally. I suggest verifying that the Login extension in installed and activated and then re-add the login widget to the theme’s sidebar.”

re: I cant login here as I don’t know my user name.

From what I can tell… you do not have a user account on the site. The purchase license key you refer to in your email, that purchase was made by a Thomas P.

@ Dave

I know you have this figured out but I thought I’d take the time to post the answer anyway as it may helps others.

re: I’m trying to simplify my layout. I won’t be having any profile images, so I’d like to remove that section altogether (default is a square with “No Image Available”).

Use the Template Customizer for cMap.

1. Navigate to the Connections : Template admin page.
2. Click the Customize button for cMap.
3. The page will reload with the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right.
4. Click the back arrow in the upper left of the Customizer.
5. Click the Image panel.
6. Select “None” for the image type.
7. Uncheck the image placeholder option.
8. Click an entry name in the preview. The preview will reload displaying the entry detail profile page.
9. Make the same changes again. This is required because the results list view and the profile detail view can be configured separately for greater flexibility.
10. Click the Save and Publish button and then exit the Customizer.

re: Also – where is says “Show Bio” – I’d like to do one of two things:
1. Change that to “Show Practice Areas”

This can also be done in the Template Customizer. You can find the strings under the Strings panel in the Customizer.

re: have it display always (without needing to click that section on and off).

Sorry, this is not possible as it would require editing the PHP code for the templates.

re: I tried several fixes that seemed to make sense – to no avail. For example – I did a search for “Bio” and Biography” in the template files – and changed the text to “Practice Areas”. No changes showed up on the site.

That is because those are default settings applied to the Customizer on installation. They are used only when installing the template and from there the template will pull it from the Customizer options. So changing it will have no effect because those options were already initialized with those defaults.

re: Oddly – this DID work for me with the default template

This is different as those strings are not configurable using the Customizer. Rather they are “hardcoded” in the template file to match the field when adding the entry. The recommended way to change those strings can be found in this FAQ. So, basically you were editing two completely different things.

re: (I actually would love to use the default template if only I could have the Search function

Using the Template Customizer on cMap, you can come fairly close.

re: never mind. I finally realized there are templates for the vCard, etc. I found my own answer.

You can edit the PHP files if you wish, but it seems most of what you want to do is already are built-in options. If you choose to edit the PHP files, please read this tutorial on custom template override files.

Hope that helps!

@ Celina

I did a test import, you file, unmodified, and it imported fine. The only issue that I see is all the rows where the last name is blank, those will be skipped because an individual requires a first and last name. You could add an Organization column and move the last name to the Organization column so they are imported.

When importing, did you briefly see 95% before completing?

Are you navigator to this folder using FTP?
../wp-content/uploads/csv_files

Are the files you are importing located there?

Can you view the actual database? If so, what is the contents of the {wpdb_prefix}_connections table?
