Sorry, no, not yet. I have a beta if you would like an advanced copy, let me know.

This can be done by using a filter.

Install the Code Snippets plugin and add a new snippet with the following code.

function cn_default_entry_type( $atts ) {

    $atts['default']['type'] = 'organization';
    $atts['default']['visibility'] = 'private'; 

    return $atts;
}

add_filter( 'cn_metabox_publish_atts', 'cn_default_entry_type', 11 );

This snippet would change the default entry type to an Organization with a visibility default of Private. To default to a family, you would change organization to family in the code. The valid options for Visibility are public, private or unlisted. This will only affect the entry level visibility, not the data level (ie. address, phone and such).

Hope that helps!

re: Link extension create a link between an existing WP user and an existing Connections entry or can it also create an entry for the WP user?

Sorry, no not at this time. I have added this to my feature request list though as it does make for another very useful feature for Link.

I just release an update to cMap which add several more color changing options which will give you even more control of the style of the template. Here’s the copy of the changelog:

NEW: The color of the entry name can be set in the Template Customizer.
NEW: The color of the address, phone, email, IM, social media, link and date labels can be set in the Template Customizer.
NEW: Link colors can be set in the Template Customizer.
NEW: The bio and note content tray link color can not be set in the Template Customizer.
I18N: Update POT file.

Hope that helps!

Ok, this is resolved. Somehow, the user meta for your WP user account because corrupt. Deleting it resolved it. This was an odd one, never seen this happen before. Let me know if you run into it again.

Hope that helps!

ps. I was able to see the PHP errors by turning on WP_DEBUG option in the web host control panel under the advanced tab. I was able to immediately see the issue and correct it with the WP_DEBUG on. It is always a good idea to have to option enabled when developing a site, but it should always be disabled on a live site.

re: i need to know I can set up locations, province then when clicked on the list of regions are listed, when a region is clicked it will take you to a category list.

You could but you would have to manually create those links and landing pages. There is nothing “out of the box” that could create this exact structure for your automagically.

re: i also need to add up to 7 photos on a profile. only shows option for 1 picture.

Both the bio and notes fields support images and support using images from the Media Library. YOu can add as many images as you want. Many users use image gallery plugins which display galleries via a shortcode and then add the shortcode to the bio or notes. That way they can use the image gallery plugin to manage the galleries for their entries. It is a little more complex but more flexible.

Hope I have answered your questions thoroughly!

@ metropole nca

Yep, that would cause the addresses to be hidden. Great to hear you figured it out!

re: When I create an entry, I can’t see where I can give him a role.

Roles and capabilities are not assigned to an entry. The settings allow you as an admin to control the roles and capabilities a user may be permitted to have to perform action in Connections. Generally, you should only change the defaults if you are linking a WP user to a Connections entry so they can edit “their” entry. To add links (automatically based on email address) you would use the Link extension.

re: Plus, is there a way to make an entry become a wp user for the website?

Sorry, no, but you could use the CSV export tool to export the entries and then use a CSV Import User plugin to import the users.

Hope that answers your questions thoroughly!

I sent you an email with the address you should use for the account. Let me know if you do not receive it.
