Here’s a FAQ on how you as an admin can create families. Hope that helps, let me know.

Closing this thread, we’ll keep the discussion in email.

Hmmm… the issue is not with Connections… There is some Custom CSS which is hiding the display. Specifically this CSS:

.by-author, .author, .vcard {
    display: none;
}

You need to remove the .vcard selector or make it more specific so it does not hide all vCards.

Hope that helps, let me know!

re: Will I send the final category lists to you to your email address?

Nope, you would setup the categories. Please contact me using the contact link at the very bottom of the page and I’ll sent you a quote for the installation and configuration of the multiple category search. I’ll also need have admin account on the site I’ll setting this up on. I will also need to know which two pages this is to be setup on and which categories are the parent categories which should show as search options and which parent categories are to be displayed to member as search options. Hope that makes sense.

re: Is this possible to do whit shortcodes or in PHP?

Yes, this is what I would recommend…

Put this it the top of the card.php / card-single.php files.

foreach ( $entry->getCategory() as $category ) {
    $categories[] = $category->slug;
}

The to display the field use:

if ( ! empty( $text ) && in_array( 'meta_key', $categories ) ) {
    echo '<p>' . esc_html( $text ) . '</p>';
}

You would change meta_key to the name you entered in the custom field. It will need to be exactly the same to work.

Hope that helps, let me know.

re: But I found a trick to parry: I added a script in my theme which removes the Classname “ui-slider ui-slider-horizontal ….” and the “span class=”ui-slider-handle ….” ” in my header

What was the script? Be great to know in case anyone else ever runs into this same issue.

re: Are you saying that the map showing then throwing keyerror is a bug needing fixed?

No, this is definitely not a bug. Google is locking down their maps API. For years it was available to use without key. As of June 22 all new sites are required to use a key. By Oct 12 all old sites will require a key. I suspect this is step one in a longer term plan to start charging for access to this API. Time will tell.

I kind of suspected this day was coming after noticing this warning in the browser console which is why I started adding support for the browser and server keys. I had fully implemented the server key completely, just not the browser key. The beta I just sent has the browser key fully implemented so it should resolve this issue.

re: paste this into /wp-content/themes/yourtheme/header.php before the /head> tag…

I strongly recommend undoing this change.

I just sent you a beta copy of the next release of Connections which has fully implemented the browser and server keys for the Google Maps API.

You can set them on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab. With the beta installed and the keys added, you should not longer receive the Google Maps error.

Let me know.

re: I’m no coding wizz so if its a simple update I’d be happy to test – it’ll be sometime before my site is live anyhow

Great! I just sent it. Let me know if you do not receive it.

@ Carolin

No, you would display the directory only once and you would display the search twice, one on the public and one on the private page. When a member searches from the private page, they will end up on the one directory page showing the results. They would be able search all categories options and the the public would only be able to search by the two categories. Now, when a member is on the public page they will still be able to search by all 4 because only members will be able to see all 4.

Does that make sense?
