If the Custom Fields work for you, except have to choose from the drop down, then maybe this will help. Connections actually support all sorts of custom field types, the text field being just one of them but they do have to be added programmatically.

Hope that helps!

@ Patryk

Ahhh… I see, that is actually something I did find and fix. I hadn’t pushed it out as an update yet. It also has another fix for plugins that break the wp_login action… or more accurately call it without passing the $user object too. That causes the actual link on login to fail.

re: I am also looking into the possibility of having a different template for the list view of my entire directory, and then one for the single entry view.

You would enable this option. And then go to the Connections : Templates admin page, click the Individual template type (top/right link) and then activate the desired template. The you would do the same for the Organization template type.

re: camp doesn’t allow me to include all of the fields in single profile view.

Actually, by default, it does show all fields plus map. Looking at the page from your other post, something is wrong because the correct template file in cMap is not being loaded. The only reason for this to happen is that it is missing in which case it would fallback to the default template file of cMap.

I would need a temp admin account so I could take a closer look to see what is happening with the profile/detail view.

Sorry, but webserver config is not exactly my expertise. Perhaps asking your web host will help?

Here’s a Google search on the topic showing the troubles and solutions with using WordPress with ISS7.

And here’s a link from that search that seems like it might be very helpful:

@ Support Nevada County

Great to hear! On a side note… I also pulled the blocked spam log which has hundreds of blocked spam posts, none of which were from you and none that were legitimate. So I am really at a loss with this. You posts are not being flagged or blocked as spam.

re: Sure but as it is now it crashes.

Hmmm, it is loading for me and looks fine.

re: premalinks

The issue is that you have index.php in your permalinks. Connections is not compatible with that. Go to the WordPress Permalinks settings pages and remove it. Besides being compatible wit Connections, your permalinks will be more SEO friendly.

I activated Yoast 3.0.7 on my test site and I can edit pages with the Connections shortcode on it without any errors. Perhaps there is a specific configuration setting in Yoast that triggers it? I just let the defaults. I looked at the config and nothing jump out at me as being an issue. Could you share screenshots showing the Yoast settings so I can duplicate them?

@ Peter

Are you seeing an update fail error message? If you are, Go to the Connections : Settings admin page and activate your support license keys under the Licenses tab. Now, if your licenses are not expired, you will be able to update. If they are expired, you’ll have to renew before you can do the update.

Hope that helps, let me know.

@ Garret

Does the category selection metabox still actually display when the user edits their entry on the frontend with Form? I ask, because, that setting for Form will not have any effect of the Link admin profile page. If it is the Link admin page you are asking about, then a different approach will be necessary. The first option would be to remove the adminbar and prevent access to the admin. There’s many plugins out there to do this. If you want admin access then the only way forward is this:

Install the Code Snippet plugin.

Add a new Snippet with the following code:

function cn_category_metabox() {

    remove_meta_box( 'categorydiv', 'users_page_connections_link', 'side' );    
}

add_action( 'load-users_page_connections_link', 'cn_category_metabox' );

Select the option to run only in the admin.

Save and Activate the snippet.

Hope that helps, let me know.
