@ Cindy

Should I email it to the address associated with your account (c*****@*****kt.com?

re: @ Angela

The connections, connections_addresses and connections_phone table were missing from the database. I’m not sure how that happens :/

I deactivated and reactivated Connections and the tables were created and I was able to successfully add an entry (I was not before).

Go ahead and try the import again. I suspect that it’ll work fine.

The one issue I see that remains is the category counts are now incorrect. See on the Connections : Categories admin page. These should actually fix themselves.

Hope that help, let me know!

@ Walt

re: So I assume that if I export a category I’m exporting only the category itself (the filtering mechanism) and NOT the entries that belong to that category.

yes, that is correct :)

@ John

Ok, I was on the right track! I just need to tweak the syntax a bit. Here’s the shortcode your should use:

[connections meta_query='{"meta_query":{"0":{"key":"wabw_wall_of_honor","value":"","compare":"!="}}}']

This will display all entries who has a meta_key of wabw_wall_of_honor with a meta_value that is not empty.

This is what you are asking for correct?

The Import tab is just a “place”. It does not do anything other than provide a space for tools to be added to Connections.

On the Import tab (place) you will find an import tool. This import tool is used to bulk import categories (categories are assigned to entries).

Currently, the CSV Import extension’s “place” is in the admin menu. The CSV Import extension, which bulk import entries (entries are the listing in your directory), will be moved to the Import tools tab. The actual functionality will not change.

The are two different tools that will be placed in the same space.

From a different perspective, look at the Export tab. on that tab you will find several export tools. each tool, although very similar, they do different functions/tasks.

Hope I’ve cleared that up for you and not made it more confusing.

@ Mark

There have been no features removed, no settings changes so I’m having trouble identifying what may have changed…

How are your “tagging” an individual? Do you mean assigning them both a “solar” category and a “Spain” category? Did you have something custom built for you or is everything “stock” (no changes).

@ Angela

Hmmm… I do not see any issues with the file and I just did a test on my dev site and it imported just fine. If you give me a temp admin login to your dev site, I’ll take a closer look. The details can be posted here as a private reply.

@ Annifran

Let me know how the host changes go. I’d be interested to hear the result. As for the tip jar, I actually have none. If you have a need of one of the more inexpensive extensions, list Custom Entry Order or Custom Category Order, grab one of those then we both get something :)

I do see the failed PayPal purchases. I see that seems to happen 1 or 2 times a month. I’m not sure what causes that since I’ve never seen it happen. I can only guess its a failure at PayPal or something for some reason. Thats for letting me know!

@ Kevin

re: I had to enter the field title inside the echo command of the array. It was confusing because this wasn’t needed in the admin form, just for the front end.

Correct. That is because the $entry->getMeta() simply returns the stored value(s), it does not actually return the “config” of the custom field which would include the label.

re: I have this customer also asking if we can change the Category Select to read “Select Organization” instead, and I can’t see a spot in the array to do that…

Yes. Use the the str_select shortcode option, like so:

[connections str_select="Select Organization"]

If you have other shortcode options set, add the str_select to the existing shortcode, do not add another shortcode to the page. Hope that makes sense!

Hope that helps!

@ John
I thought I had a working solution for you but in actual testing it did not work :/

This should have worked fine. Give it a try just in case it is not working for me.

[connections meta_query='{"meta_key":"wabw_wall_of_honor","meta_value":"","compare":"!="}']

I’m in the process of tracking down why the blank meta_value is being tossed and not used in the query like it should be. I’ll post back once I’ve tracked down and fixed the bug which should be later today. If not, it could be Monday.
