No, there’s nothing to do. The only thing you might want to check is that the support license key is activated on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Licenses tab. This will allow you to update within the WP admin when updates are released to cMap.

Hope that answers your question, let me know.

@ Raymond

Great to hear you got it working too!

The APIs that are needed are at least the JavaScript API and the Geocoding API. I’m not 100% certain if the Geolocation API is needed or not yet. I still need to test further.

@ Brett

Ok, thanks for the access… I figured it out. The referred needed to be set to http://nurseryguideonline.com.au/*.

I would have thought the referrer I suggested would worked because it did for me during testing, but my config is a bit different so that could be why it didn’t work for you.

Apologies for the trouble! I think I’ll need to set down and write a fairly detailed tutorial because I imagine this will trip up a lot of people.

I wonder how the WP world is going to be come Oct when Google requires all sites to use a key. All those theme’s and other plugins that are no longer supported or barely supported which utilize Google maps are just going to stop working with no obvious reason why. That’s going to leave lots of upset end users with just about all with no clue on how to actually fix it even if they figure out why.

@ Mark

Ok, I see now. The issue was the page was not set to the directory home page. The search form action has to be explicitly set if not using the directory on a page that is not the directory home page. Explicitly setting this action does change the search behavior.

The home page was set to 24095 (pipeline) I changed it to 22461 (oppedia). This seems like a safe change because you are not using this type of filter on the the pipeline or research pages. If you need it on all pages, there is a way to force it thru code. Let me know, and I’ll give instruction how.

Home that helps!

re: Is Connections Version 8.5.13 compatible with WordPress 4.5.3?

It should work just fine. There have been quite a few minor bug fixes and tweaks, but nothing that should break compatibility.

re: We customized Connections and when we updated to the latest version the search by Zipcode did not function properly so we would like to continue to use version 8.5.13.

How did you customize it? If edits were made to the core files, then those would be lost after update to the latest version (8.5.18).

re: Here is a link to Connections on the site if you are interested http://www.ggiausa.com/agent_locator/

Sure I’m interested… the link seems to be broken it returns 404.

@ Mark

Ok, I am beginning to understand the question… no search features have been removed. I just tested this on my dev site.

Filter by Country.
Then searched by category.
And finally searched for a keyword.

Perhaps if you give me access to the page, I can see what the issue might be. Please make sure that you are displaying the search result message found on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab.

@ Mark

Ok, so you were somehow using the country field to cross referencing… this was definitely never a stock feature. I see you have purchase the Excerpt template, this allow you to filter by category, not country. It also features the keyword search. Both of these still exist and have not been removed. If this is what you are asking about… perhaps you inadvertently changed templates. Go to the Connections : Template page and activate the Excerpt Template. If it does not show as an option, make sure it has been activated under the Plugins admin page.

I’m still not certain we are on the same page… perhaps if you share links and screenshots with me I will be able to better assist.

@ William

This is on my feature request list. It will likely be awhile before it happens because this will actually require building a custom relationship table in the database to properly keep track of family relationships.

re: Raymond

re: The script never makes it to the head on the source page if I remember which is why it didn’t work

Correct, it will never load in the page header. Scripts should just about never be placed in the header, especially external scripts. Connections will load it in the page footer.

re: Don’t have time to edit this morning, didn’t know you were troubleshooting the problem with my sight

When you have a chance, please let me know. I need to see the page with the Google Maps API option enabled on your site so I can see the URL being created. And, perhaps, any messages the Google Maps API is showing in the browser console.

@ Brett

The issue is with the configuration of allow referrer domains.

Google is displaying this error message: Google Maps API error: RefererNotAllowedMapError

Here’s the link to the error description: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#referer-not-allowed-map-error What you need to do is go back to the API Console click to edit your browser API key. Read the Accept requests from these HTTP referrers (web sites) section.

I suggest using .nurseryguideonline.com.au/, like the example shows but with your domain.
