re: when I want to “update” a listing, what do I use as a ‘key’ field…one that knows which entry I’m updating?

You use the Entry ID field populate with the entry ID assigned to the entry by the WordPress database.

re: if I’ve already assigned an image to an entry, and then update it, does that interfere with the image that’s attached?

Nope :)

re: I’ve been using WP All Import on a couple of other sites, and I was wondering if you had thought of letting them map Connections to use in their plugin? I think they will actually map it for free. Just a thought.

WP All Import only works with post/pages and custom post types. Connections is none of them. It uses custom tables where the schema has been optimized for directories whereas WordPress pages, posts and CPT has been optimized for posts.

Hope that helps!

The entry disappears… then, do any of the other show? If you provide an admin login I can take a look. Details can be posted here as a private reply.

Sorry, but the shortcode options are not available to the widget. You can use Say What but you need to use the connections_login text domain.

As for styling… that all comes from the theme, very, very, little is styled by Connections. Both the widget and the shortcode even output the exact same login form.

Hope that helps!

Maybe, there are none that I am aware of so this will require a bit more debugging. Before that, click the Unapprove link for the entry being displayed and make sure the list is filtered by the Approved status. What happens?

@ Dave

I did a test import and it imported fine by setting the Entry ID to not be mapped. I did have to manually map the Entry Type column due to the type in the CSV file. Leaving the Entry ID column off is best that way it will guarantee that it not used.

@ Jo Marks

Ok, the phone numbers were not showing because in the advanced section in the Template Customizer you limited the phone types to work and the phone numbers that were added mobile. They showed on the profile page because they were not limited. I remove the type limitation and now the numbers show.

The remove button width. I made a tweak to the CSS which fixes this. You’ll very likely have to force refresh your browser in order to see the change.

Hope that helps!

@ Giacomo

Hmmm… the reason was exactly the same as that other site from the other thread. Someone had edited the core WordPress query.php file breaking the get_query_var() function. I restored the function and now Connections works just fine.

Hope that helps!

@ Dave

Beta guess is that you are mapping the Entry ID column and the entry IDs in that column do not exist in the database. You should only use the Entry ID column to update existing entries, not to import new one.

Hope that helps, let me know!

The only way to do this would be to add a filter to change the default name format. Here’s how.

Install the code Snippets plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

add_filter( 'cn_output_family_atts', 'cn_output_family_atts' );

function cn_output_family_atts( $atts ) {

    $atts['name_format'] = '%first% %last%';

    return $atts;
}

Tweak the nam_format value as desired.

Save and Activate the snippet.

Hope that helps! Let me know.

@ Barry

Hmmm… don’t think any Connections related updates would have caused that. Can you share a link so I can take a look?
