re: I thought I read on the forums that you would only need one license if you dev site started or ended with dev. or .dev

Almost right, you read it here. If it begins with dev. you should be able to activate the license and then do the upgrade without that activation counting against the site activation limit.

I guess my first question is… Did you activate the license on your dev site? From what I can tell in my logs is that is has not been. So, first activate the license then you should be able to do the upgrade.

Let me know if that helps.

Great to hear you got it working. Page caching could be an issue if you are using it. When developing or making changes it is always best to temporarily deactivate page caching so you can see changes.

re: I don’t want my directory to be public; can I assign a password to it?

You can require the user to be logged in to view the directory by enabling the option..

Hope that helps!

The icons are img tags wrapped in anchors. To my knowledge there is no way to override an img and still had the link clickable.

The easy way to change the icons is to replace the image itself. There are found in this folder:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/assets/images/icons/wpzoom/

Create the necessary size variations and overwrite the existing files. Make sure to force refresh your browser after doing this otherwise the browser will use the locally cached image instead of the new image when displaying the page.

The downside is that you’ll have to do this after each update to Connections.

Hope that helps!

This is not easily achievable requiring quite a bit of changes to the template… far more than I can convey in a support forum reply. I do offer custom development services. If you are interested, please contact me via the Contact link at the very bottom of the page for a quote.

Technically, yes, but this will require you to edit the PHP and CSS of the template. You would edit the card.php file found in this folder:

../wp-content/plugins/connections-gridder/

You have to add this line within the cn-gridder-excerpt classed div:

$entry->getNotesBlock();

Save the changed files.

Now, you will not likely see the notes after making this change. You’ll have to adjust the font size from 0 to whatever size you want the text to be.

If you choose to edit the template, you should read this tutorial on how to use custom template override files so the change is update safe.

Hope that helps!

re: how can I make it read “Phone” instead of “Work Phone”?

Here’s a link to a detailed tutorial on how to change labels in Connections using the Say What? plugin.

re: I’d like to edit the line around logos… either to remove it completely or to remove the radius. Can this be done through css somewhere?

Sure, CSS is what is used to add the border so you can use CSS to remove it. This will do it:

#cn-list span.cn-image-style {
    border: none !important;
}

Hope that helps!

re: If I have accentuated letters in a field, the CSV import does not import the line. Or if the accentuated letter is in the category field, it just drops the category.

I have not experienced this in testing. Usually the result is the character is import as a diamond with a question mark in it. Could I get a sample of your file?

re: Resolved. We need to convert the CSV file to UTF8.

Yes, for extended characters such as accented character the CSV does need UTF8 encoded.

re: Though when we export from excel, excel does not enclose fields in double or single quotes, I hope there will not be any issue with that…

Nope, that is Excel being “helpful”. It’ll format the file based on the local settings in Windows. Great for exporting and then importing into Excel, not so great because it does not really follow the “standard” for CSV file.

I recommend using either Google Spreadsheet or LibreOffice Calc. Here is a link to more tips for importing CSV files. The page has quite a bit of info, I’ll be worth your time to read.

Hope that helps!

Great to hear! And thanks for your contributions to the translations. The new translations for Connections will be included in the next update.

If you wish, you could send me the MO/PO files for Form and Link that way they too will be included in updates.

@ Violet

The CSV Import tools found on the Connections : Tools > Import tab are to import categories, not entries. Here’s the link to the Import Categories documentation which explains how to use with several examples.

To import entries, you need the CSV Import extension. Here is the link to the instructions for the CSV Import extension.

Hope that helps!
