re: I followed directions and then logged into my daughter’s account and set up her a directory listing. When I searched for it, she wasn’t listed.

You can tell that it does not work even without searching for. When adding an entry you should stay on the same page and have a success message. Instead the page is redirected the user profile admin page.

I read the response from Wishlist… they are a little confused as to what is being asked. I understand the confusion because usually when you talk about user redirects, it is about after a user logins in. This is not the issue we’re dealing with. A user can login just fine. It is the form submission for the directory in the admin is being redirected when adding/editing an entry.

So… next steps…

Can I get a FTP login? What I plan on doing is downloading your entire plugins folder. I’ll do a search across all plugins at the same time looking in their code for any and every instance a plugin does a redirect. Finding these specific instances will allow me to figure out what I need to do to make sure the directory add/edit gets to process before the redirect happens.

@ Anthony

Can you login with your next reply and attach a screenshot showing your mapping and a copy of your CSV file so I can take a look? If the Google map location is wrong, that is because Google, on the import, geocoded to address on correctly maybe because it did not know where the correct location of the address was. Adding the country should help.

Yes, working on admin accounts is what makes me suspect that Wishlist is causing the redirect before the entry add/changes happen. That, and I know, other users use Connections with BuddyPress without issue.

Like I said, if they can not help, with a copy of their plugin, I’ll be able to figure it out pretty quickly.

Look forward hearing back what you find out.

re: The client would like to know if it is possible to actually create a different page for the Submit New Entry page.

Yes, you can use the [connections_form] shortcode on any page. This will allow a new entry to be submitted from any page. However, this does not allow a registered user to update their entry from that page if you are using Form/Link to permit that. The updating would still have to occur on the main directory page.

Does that help?

To post private replies, you must check the “Set as private reply” option before clicking the submit button otherwise the post will be public.

I logged in and added a “My Directory Entry” for the user account you gave me. After I did, it did immediately in the directory. I’ve deleted this test entry so it does not appear in your directory. So, in this test it work like it should. Can you give a specific user who made a change and what that change was that did not show up as an example?

That said…

You did mention your daughter’s account. I switched to that and I see the issue, I think. When a subscriber submits their directory entry (or changes), that submission is being “hijacked” by maybe Wishlist or maybe by BuddyPress so the new entry and/or changes are never actually submitted. I suspect it is Wishlist doing a redirect to prevent access to other profile admin pages. Could you contact their support and ask if their plugin does that and if there is a way to add an exception? If they can not answer those questions, If you can give me a copy, for debugging only, I can likely answer those questions myself pretty quickly.

@ Suzanne

Is there a way to mask the actual e-mail address on the tile with the word “e-mail”

Sorry, no, this is not possible. Most of the time when this is asked it is because they want the email to be “secured” or not publically visible. Hiding it behind an email link does nothing to protect the email address. Spam bots can still very easily scrape the email address. To have the email address visible, but protected, check out the ROT13 Email Encryption extension. To keep the email completely private, never visible, checkout the Contact extension.

re: Is there a way to change the word “Biography” to be something else?

Yes, first read this FAQ. The options mentioned in the FAQ can be found here.

re: Is there a way to increase the size of font on the tile?

This can only be done with custom CSS. Add this following to the theme’s custom CSS area (tweak as needed):

#cn-tile-plus .cn-entry {
    font-size: 13px !important;
}

To account for the larger font size, you might need to increase the tile size.

Hope that helps!

@ Stephen

Log in to your site with FTP and download the /connections_images/ folder found in the ../wp-content/uploads/ folder. All the images for every entry will be in there.

Hope that helps!

@ Anatasia

The Template Customizer is only available for templates which have been coded explicitly to support it. You’ll have to contact the author of your template to have have them update it so it supports the Template Customizer.

Hope that helps!

@ Alfonso

The code can be added by using the Code Snippets plugin. Install this plugin and add a new snippet with the following code:

add_filter( 'cn_email_message', 'cn_append_email_message' );

function cn_append_email_message( $message ) {

    $append = "\r\r" . 'This email has been sent via the ' . get_bloginfo( 'name' ) . ' website.';

    return $message . $append;
}

Make sure you Save and Activate the new snippet.

Hope that helps!

re: Is it posible to track everytime an email has been sent to a company of the directory?

Go to the Connections : Tools admin page and click the Logs tab. Select the “Contact Extension Email” option from the email filter. You will see a log of all email sent by the Contact extension.

Hope that helps!
