@ eseone

I’ve been looking into this… both emails you forward back to me are for the same license key but they are different reminders. You’ll get four of these:

• One month before expiration
• One week before expiration
• One day before expiration
• One week after expiration

The two emails you forwarded back to me are:

• One week before expiration on 5/23
• One day before expiration on 6/16

From what I can tell you never received any emails after you did the first renewal on 6/16 (the second renewal was on 6/27).

Did you perhaps still have both of these in your inbox? Or is there a third email you received after 6/16 that you did not forward back to me for investigation?

Thanks for taking the time to answer this!

re: Will there be a conflict if I add an additional user management plug in for the other content?

No, there should be no conflict… here’s why. The Connections entries are not WordPress Users, they are completely separate (by design). You can link a WP user to a Connections entry with the Link extension. The content between the two are not “shared” even when linked. The Link extension basically allows one WP user to add/edit one Connections entry.

Does that answer your question?

It is likely that you need to update cMap. The installed version is 2.1 which is about 4 years old. The latest is version 5.2.

Since your purchase was made in 2012, you have lifetime free updates. You can download the update from your purchase history page under the downloads tab.

To manually install the update, you will first need to delete the installed version. The version installed, I think (it has been quite awhile) you first activate the Default Entry Card on the Connections : Templates admin page. And then you can click the delete button for cMap.

To install the new version, follow the installation instructions for cMap.

Make sure you activate your support license key, also found on your purchase history page, this way you will get automatic inadmin updates for cMap.

I hope this helps, let me know.

Install the Custom Category Order extension. It came as part of the Extension Pro Pack purchase.

I think it’s exactly what you want :)

Great to hear! And, yes, absolutely, I highly recommend keeping FULLTEXT enabled. This basically allows the db to perform more relevant searches.

Now we know the issue… if you set up you local MAMP config for MySQL so it too support FULLTEXT you should not have issues in the future. The other option would be to disable FULLTEXT make your package and then enable it. I recommend for former over the letter.

Hope that helps!

re: Seems I don’t have a _connections table at all!

That seems to be the issue… for some reason Duplicator did not create the table and insert the data.

Look in the database.sql for this line CREATE TABLE{db_prefx}_connections(. Does it exist?

If it does, then it was exported fine. For some reason, not imported

Best guess is the source db supports FULLTEXT and the MAMP installation does not. If the create table command exists, which I suspect it does, look for a line at the end of the command that begins with FULLTEXT KEYsearch If it does, go to the Connections : Settings admin page, click the Search tab and disable the FULLTEXT search option. Now create a Duplicator package and setup a new installation and import it. Is the table created now?

You could copy the code within the getFamilyMemberBlock() method to your own custom function and pass in the $entry var from the template when you call it. Something like this:

function custom_family_function( $atts, $entry ) { /copied code/ }

In the template files use it like this:

custom_family_function( $atts, $entry )

Now, within the copied code you would have to change this:

if ( $relations = $this->getFamilyMembers() ) {

to this:

if ( $relations = $entry->getFamilyMembers() ) {

And this:

return $this->echoOrReturn( $atts['return'], $html );

to this:

echo $html;

I think that’s it.

Once suggestion… make sure the MySql version on your MAMP install matches the version on your server and is configured identically.
