@ alex

You have three different options when configuring the name overlay. Here’s a demo for each.

The docs for this is right here.

You can make the text smaller by using your own custom css. Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-gridder .cn-gridder-overlay .fn, #cn-gridder .cn-gridder-name .fn {
    font-size: 16px !important;
}

Hope that helps!

re: Is there a way to quickly export/import this to the subsites? (Rather than having to do it manually through Templates -> Customise, 6 times)

Go to the Connections : Tools admin page and export the settings. You can then import the settings on your subsites. Settings changed in the Template Customizer for templates come along for the ride :)

Great to hear it working for you.

re: how do i get the title on top of the contact info instead of below the image?

You need to move this line to where you want the title.

if ( $atts['show_title'] ) $entry->getTitleBlock();

Now, if you mean the entry name, then it is this line:

<div style="font-size:larger;font-variant: small-caps"><strong><?php echo $entry->getNameBlock( array( 'format' => $atts['name_format'] ) ); ?></strong></div>

re: how do i have the tile capitalized instead of have in uppercase/

Remove this from the line of code above:
style="font-size:larger;font-variant: small-caps"

Hope that helps.

ps, you are making these changes using template override files, right? That is important because you will lose any changes when you updated Connections.

re: How can I add a “package number” to the Organization and how do I sort by that package number where 8 would be first in the list; 1 would be last;

Try this solution for custom ordering.

re: 0 would NOT show up except on one designate page for “non paying outfitters”

I suggest creating a category for them and then excluding that category except on the page where they should show.

re: please check the “bouncing to the top” when you click the + on a grid too please and tell me how to fix that

That is likely being caused by the theme interfering with the “scroll to” feature in Gridder. The only fix is this:

Open the delete the gridder.min.js file found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-gridder/

Now, open the gridder.js file found in the same folder and remove the following line:
$( _self._scrollTo() ).animate( { scrollTop: _me.position().top }, 0 );

Save the file and upload it overwriting the original.

You will very likely have to force refresh your browser so the new version will be used instead of the local copy the browser has it its cache.

Hope that helps!

re: I’ve been trying to post support request for the last few days but they aren’t showing up

Well, that’s odd, because I get a dozen or so a day. I checked the spam folder, they are not there. Did you get an error or anything? If the post fails, bbpress does display a try again message.

re: I have some questions I need to get resolved.

Ask away.

re: Can you tell me how to force the logo to show under the image?

Same way you did before. That has not changed. Drop this in the template to show the logo:

$entry->getImage(
    array(
        'image'    => 'logo',
        'fallback' => array(
            'type'   => 'none',
        ),
    )
);

Make sure to use a template override file.

@ Sylvia

The user/pass is incorrect. I can not login. Please post as a private reply.

Also, as a suggestion or two…

• Check you moderation queue. Are the entries there?
  • Are you using a caching plugin? If you are, please flush the page cache.

@ Mitch

Sounds like its fix from both ends so you’re good to go.

re: Interesting, as I had not noticed this issue previously. We use a managed WordPress host, so the ‘broken or old’ part is a little disconcerting. I will be passing this along to them for comment.

That statement comes straight from the PHP doc page explaining why a FALSE would be returned.

re: I am experiencing this issue on other sites on the same server. Do I need to make changes there also? or can I just wait for your next release? (or is that a ways out? if so, I’ll need to address).

I’ll very likely push out an update, very minor, this week. If you wish, all you need to do is copy the class.utility.php file from your sandbox to the live sites.

re: It still seems as though existing records that HAVE data (address, phone, etc…) when I open these records to make any edits, ALL of that address data is gone. So if I save (without reentering the address data from scratch), it saves the record with blank data.

This ONLY happens with records that have NOT been (recently) edited. Meaning if I edit a record that had already been messed up, the new edit does retain the data and works properly. (That sounds weird, does that make any sense?)

Connections stores record data in two locations in the db for performance reasons. The first is a cache and the second is the actual db tables. The actual db table will only ever be access when editing and searching, never for display. The display comes from the cache.

Now, that said… three years ago, maybe longer, all the entry data was read/written to from what is now the cache as the tables did not exist. So, one of those updates, along the way included a routine which added the tables and migrated the data from what is now the cache. It seems that update never migrated the data for some reasons for you. The only solution would be to manually trigger that update. Doing that though, the good entries will now have duplicates of the data when editing an entry.

So… yes, what you described make perfect sense.

re: One note for others trying this – because I had more than 10 individuals, I needed to do the numbering in the “order” field as 01, 02, 03… instead of 1, 2, 3…

Hmmm, the NUMERIC_ASC option should take the numeric string and make it an actual integer so it should sort correctly. I had not ever needed to prefix the digits. Something is up… but I since it works, its all good :)

re: Thank you again! Wonderful plugin.

Thanks! If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!
