re: our fields are quite unique. For example, “DUNS #” “Contract #” and “Vendor.” We also need a field for “Socioeconomic Status” and a few other things that are atypical. Would we be able to create our own fields with just the purchase of this extension, or will we have to purchase a separate extension as well?

Connections does support custom fields. You can find some advanced tutorials on how to add a text field, checkbox and checkbox group on the documentation page. As well as documentation on how to add and map custom fields that can be imported using the CSV Import extension.

These are quite advanced and require PHP development skill. I do provide custom development for Connections, if you are interested, please contact me using the Contact link at the very bottom of the page.

The search found on https://sscit.org/ is a custom extension which works with any of the templates. I can sell this for a reasonable fee which would include installation and configuration. If you are interested, please contact me using the Contact link at the very bottom of the page.

Sigh! I’m an idiot! You need to use this line to output the excerpt:

echo $entry->getExcerpt();

The only difference is that echo precedes it.

It seems your test user account already had a linked entry but that linked entry seems to not have existed or perhaps deleted? When a user or entry is deleted that link should be removed too. In this case it was not. I see that this happens sometimes when users are testing but I have never been able to replicate it. If you let me know the steps you took in order to get this error that could help me track down the issue.

I wonder if the issue is s2Member, there is known issue with it when it has updates, it resets the WordPress roles and capabilities which wreak havoc on plugins which require them like Connections.

Perhaps it too interferes with plugins which hook into the WordPress user delete functions. If it does, then perhaps, the link can not be deleted like it should be causing orphan links.

Is this test user the only one where you had this issue, or are there other?

Hmmm… ok, just to confirm, you do have text in the bio field, correct? That is what the excerpt text is created from. Or perhaps there is CSS hiding it. Can you see if the excerpt in the page source?

@ Carolin

In this placement, the excerpt will only be shown if you have turned on the display of the categories. Add a new line between the } and the ?> lines and then move $entry->getExcerpt(); to that new line.

Hope that helps!

If you give me a temp admin login, I’ll take a look. The details can be posted here as a private reply.

@ ottomek

Great to hear! I’ll add the readonly option to the other supported fields in the next update.

@ Adelina

Sorry, but the [upcoming_list] shortcode does not have a category filter. Presently, only the Upcoming Anniversaries/Birthday widget included in the Widget Pack includes this feature as well as several others not present using the shortcode. Using the widget, you have the option of using it as a shortcode, however, the display will be very different. The [upcoming_list] shortcode displays as a table whereas the widget will display as a list.

I hope this answers your question thoroughly!

@ Karine

Is the jQuery compatibility option still enabled or not? If it is not, please enable it even if it has no effect that you can see. The purpose is so I can see if it is able to override the theme or not so I can eliminate the old jQuery version being the issue or not.

ps. You should probably ask the theme dev to release an up to fit jQuery regardless if it is determined if this is the cause of this issue or not for a couple reasons. Most importantly, the version included with the theme is 4yrs old. This will start causing you troubles with plugins expecting a current version included with WP. And second, related, it is considered bad practice to override the the jQuery version in WP because plugins are expecting the version included with WP which can cause compatibility issues.
