re: I want to know if members can login and edit their own listing?

It is the Link extension. This extension will allow registered user create and maintain their entry. If an entry already exists and the user logs in with a email address matching an entry, that entry will be linked their user account which will allow that user to maintain that entry even if they change the email address in the entry or their user account. This is possible because once a link is made, it is persistent.

The other extension you might be interested in is the Form extension. This will add frontend editing for both the site admin and users linked to entries by the Link extension.

Hope that answers your questions thoroughly!

ps. Here are the docs for those two extensions to help you get started.

• Form
• Link

re: Yes that tweak would be perfect thank you.

Great, are you familiar with GitHub at all? If you are I can push up the code codes changes so you can download it. If you are not, I can email you a copy. Is the email address you have been using valid?

re: Maybe in the PHP or HTML somewhere?

yes, but much easier than that :)

Here’s the doc page that outlines the details on how to change label text in Connections (or any translation ready plugin).

@ Robert

Great to hear!

@ Robert

The issue is that index.php is part of the permalink configuration. Connections is not compatible with that. Go to the Permalinks WordPress Settings admin page and remove the index.php from the permalink configuration. Not will that only make it compatible with Connections but it will also improve the SEO of your site.

Hope that helps, let me know.

re: Is there a way to have them displayed/open by default for the initial information?

Sorry, there is not.

re: Heath

re: the results are all words and numerical values as individual keywords.

Yes, that is correct. Each “word” is searched for as a separate term when searching for matches.

You can, potentially, greatly improve search results by disabling the keyword search option in the settings. My first suggestion is to try that to see if that will meet your expectations.

Note, if you disable this option and you do not get receive any search results that is because the database does not support what is call FULLTEXT queries. If you find this is the case, you will need to enable the keyword search option.

You question did prompt me to make a quick tweak to the search where the full string is searched for first and should show first as a result. Would you lie to give this a try before I release an update?

re: Is it possible to do this somewhat easily? My team and I are fairly technical, but still pretty new to WordPress backend. Even if there isn’t an easy way, if you could point us in the correct direction, that would be incredibly helpful!

Sure, here’s are a couple links I think you will find helpful:

• http://connections-pro.com/quicktip-custom-css-templates/
• http://connections-pro.com/quicktip-custom-template-override-files/

Hope that helps, let me know!

re: I insert a shortcode in WordPress where I show category=’2′ in left site and category=’3′ i rigth site. And that is fine. But… when I click on the company name to see the detail the entries is shows to times, boths in left and right site. How can I changes that?

The issue is you are using the shortcode on the page more than once. You will see a duplicate for each instance of the shortcode on the page.

You can do what you want, but requires a little more complex setup. Here’s how.

Create a new page. The page name is not important but should be relevant. After you publish the page, take note of the page ID number. You can find this in the browser’s address bar when editing the page.

On this new page, the only content should be the [connections] shortcode with no other options.

Now edit your original page and add the home_id shortcode option to your existing shortcodes.

The new shortcode should be something like these [connections category=2 home_ix="X"] and [connections category=3 home_ix="X"]. X would be the page ID from the new page you just published.

After you update the page, the links for the entries will now resolve to the new page you created where the shortcode only exists on the page once.

re: How do I get the logo to show ?

Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the Default Entry Card template.

The page will reload displaying the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right.

Click the back arrow in the upper left of the Customizer.

Now click the Image panel.

You can select the Image Type to be displayed among other image related options.

Hope that helps, let me know.

re: Is it possble to set the list to show after not category, but entry
So I can show entries 33, 45, 55, 78 and in that way show those entry first and in that way get a better payment for the first entries.

Yes, take a look at the order_by shortcode option. Example 4 shows you how. You can also use the Custom Entry Order extension.

Hope that answers your questions thoroughly! Let me know.
