re: Is it possible to reduce the number of social media profiles that appear in the drop-down list of the directory entry form? Or edit any of the other drop-downs?

Yes, it is possible but requires a bit of PHP. Is this something you feel comfortable doing? If so, let me know and I can provide you with some instructions to get your started.

re: want to have the ability to email to ALL of the residents at once. And also be able to send to some not others. Is there an extension to Connections for this?

Sorry, no, there is not. What I suggest is exporting the email addresses from Connections and importing it into your favorite mailing list app.

Hope that helps!

re: When we got the offer of renewing our license, we were not aware that the Slim template was/was about to be retired.

Even though Slim is retired it will be supported as long as there are active support licenses. This includes licenses that have been renewed, like yours. No new additional licenses are going to be sold. As for support, if any bugs are found, I’ll release updates to address them.

re: Now it does not work as it used to, for example there is no “customize” button for the template

Slim does not support the Template Customizer feature and will not be updated to support it. It will only receive bug fix updates. So, that said, since it never supported this feature there now way that is could have worked prior. Infact, Slim Plus has yet received its update to support the Template Customizer.

re: we can’t change labels (the ones we added before are still there

All the options that Slim supported are still available to you, nothing has been removed. You can refer to the Slim Plus documentation as much of it still applies to Slim. The options that it does not support are primarily those for categories, search and pagination.

To change the labels, here’s the FAQ to help you out.

re: have I missed something or do we need to buy the Slim Plus template to be able to do the customization that we want to?

Other than the label, what customization? Both Slim and Slim Plus were exactly the same with the exception that Slim Plus support category filtering, search and pagination. If you want those features, then yes, you’ll need to upgrade. If you do want to upgrade from Slim to Slim Plus you can do so from your purchase history. Click the Licenses tab and click the View Upgrades link. From there you can upgrade to Slim Plus paying only the difference.

Hope that helps, let me know.

Took a quick look at your site… a quick look at the source files shows that Connections is slightly out of date. I recommend updating it.

Form is really out of date. The current version is 2.3. If your support license key is active, you can download the update from your purchase history. I’ll actually be pushing out a minor update to Form later today.

I can not tell which version of Link you have installed, but my guess is that it too may be out of date. The current version is 2.0.4. An update was just released a few days ago. This update can also be downloaded from your purchase history.

After you install the updates, go to the Connections : Settings admin page click the Licenses tab and activate your support license key, that way you’ll will be notified of updates and be able to update from right within WordPress with a single click.

I see cMap is also out of date. After this issue is resolved, you should also consider updating it.

After you are all to date, let me know if that fixes the issue or not.

@ mvgustafson

Apologies for the trouble! Your account has been fixed. You should now be able to see your purchase history.

Go to the Connections : Roles admin page on change the role capabilibites are what you need them to be in Connections. It sounds like the only capability you need to add is the Edit Entry capability.

@ Nikki

Is the site you are tring to update on matt.myinternetmedia.net? If it is, give it a little time and then try again. If that is not the site you are trying to upgrade deactivate the licenses on that site and activate your licenses on the site your are trying to update them on. If you do not have access to that site, you can mange your activations on your purchase history page under the Licenses tab.

Hope that helps, let me know.

re: It’s LINK v 2.0.3 and I’m trying to update to 2.0.4. Also, I am using 8.5.11 CONNECTIONS. And, of course, this time I tried, it updated successfully.

Hmmm, perhaps the software that manages upgrade requests caches responses for a small amount of time. Good to hear it updated.

re: when we open the file in Excel, all of the categories get separated into their own cell.

When you import it, change the delimiter from tab to comma.

*For this to work in Excel 2013, you must uncheck Use system separators in Options>Advanced**

Or add this to the top of the CSV file: http://superuser.com/a/730509

re: It would be nice to have the option of comma separated or tab separated. Is this something that is being considered for future releases?

Technically, that would be a TSV file, not a CSV file. I’m not planning on adding any options to the CSV Export to keep them simple to use.

Looks like we were writing replies and posting them almost at the same time…

re: The new users would register through the WP facility. Once they’ve done that, they will be able to edit their CONNECTION record, and if I add FORM, I can give them (and me) the ability to edit via the front end (as opposed to logging in to the admin section). Do I have that right?

Yes, that is correct. But as mentioned in my last reply, you’ll need Link to link the user to a entry to allow the user to maintain it. Form is to allow that from the frontend.
