re: the link extension will not link user to email

Correct, if you are puttin Form on its own page using the shortcode, submissions will not link to the logged in user. It will add a new entry. To use Form and Link you have to follow the instructions in the documentation for configuration.

re: users will not be able to edit their profile using the widget

Correct, this is because entries submitted via your custom page will not link the user. The user must submit their entry using the internal page that the links resolve to.

re: add new profile link in widget needs to be redirected to my shortcode page

Sorry, this is not possible because any submission to a custom page is not supported and the entry will not be linked.

re: the edit form will contain the parent categories

Sorry, I do not understand this point. Could you clarify?

re: is there a way to either solve teh above or manually include (hardcode) only the one parent category in the autogenerated form page?

Add parent_category='n' to the [connections] shortcode. It will be passed to Form and used to limit the category selection.

Hope that helps!

Ok, then I’ll need a temp admin account to take a closer look. The login details can be posted here as a private reply.

@ Anja

Most fields are searched by default. To control which fields are searched, go to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Search tab.

Hope that helps!

@ gail

To turn on the “Submit New Entry” link, see this doc page.

Turning on this option will add a link above the directory that your site visitors can click to get to Form and then submit their entry into your directory.

Hope that helps!

@ Reid

What happens when you delete the entry and have the user re-add it using the Add My Teacher Directory Card link?

re: I am not talking about when you hoover of the picture. Take a look at your samples See how the name of the agent is under his picture. I want to do the same thing with our directory

The name is actually overlaying the image, it is not below it. See Demo 1 and Demo 2. There you can see the images are pretty much the same size. When mouseover the images in Demo 2 you’ll see the name overlay is in the same position, which is, overlaying the image beneath it.

re: I only see business logos and no name of the organization appear below like your sample.

This is the default behavior, to show the name. You configured the template to only display the name when you mouse over it as seen in the Demo 2. Demo 1 shows how it the template template is confgured by default for the name overaly, just with a different color shown on the Gridder template product page

All that said… what you need to do is remove overlay=hover from the Connections shortcode.

Hope that helps.

re: I have tried everything and I cannot seem to get the business name below the logo. Could you help me?

Sorry, but with Gridder, the name will overlay the image. You can try to use some custom CSS to override it but I am not sure the results will be acceptable. If you wish to give it a try, add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-gridder span.cn-gridder-overlay {
    position: relative !important;
    margin-bottom: 20px !important;
    display: block;
}

@ NuMedia

You would have to hook into the cn_search_terms filter look for singulair or plural version of the strings and add them to the search terms array accordingly.

Hope that helps!

re: Why is the Edit link not visible?

Well, the answer is, the user and the entry are not linked. What we need to figure out is why.

Was the user logged in when they added their entry? If the user was logged in, how did they log in? Using the Login extension, the core WordPress login page or a third party login plugin? If it was thru a third part login, which one?

Does the user’s email match the email address in the Connections entry?

On the Connections :: Manage admin page, does the entry show as linked to the user account?

Do you have any membership type plugins installed? If you do, which one.

re: I choose in the template options to show photo in both places, inside the details says No image available:

The card view is configured separately from the single entry profile/detail view. When in the Template Customizer for cMap, click and entry name. Any entry name so the preview refreshes to display the single entry detail/profile view. Now change your image settings. After clicking Save and Publish the photo will be used in both the card and single entry view.

re: Yet not in the details.

For the image to display in the bio content tray, the entry must also have text entered into the field otherwise the content tray will not be displayed.

re: is there a way to show in individuals the photo and in Organisation the Logo, it seems to change all together.

Sorry, no. The image displayed will be the image selected in the Template Customizer regardless of the entry type.

Hope that helps!
