Navigate to your purchase history page and click the Licenses tab.

Click the View Upgrades link for the CSV Import item.

Click the Upgrade License link for the Extension Pro pack item.

This will take you to the purchase page where you can purchase the upgrade for the price difference.

After you make the purchase, let me know and I can refund the individual purchase of Contact and Form.

Hope this helps!

Hmmm… it’s actually been quite awhile since I had to think about that. I think this will work.

Make sure the Show category is a root parent category. Meaning that it is not a child category/has no parent.

The categories you wish to display in the drop down need to be a child of a root parent. So, create a new root parent, the name is not important, but let’s call it Dropdown. Edit your categories and choose “Dropdown” as the parent.

The category hierarchy should be something like this:

• Show
• Dropdown
  • Category 1
    • Category 1a
  • Category 2
  • Category 3
  • So on…

Now change the shortcode to this:

[connections category=X enable_category_by_root_parent='TRUE']

Change the X in the above shortcode to be the category ID number for the “Dropdown” category.

Hope this helps! let me know.

Sorry, even with the screenshot I am not certain what the question is. Could you provide some more details?

RE: What can I do to avoid this?

Don’t open it in Excel… Use Google Sheets or LibreOffice since they properly open UTF8 encoded files (required to properly support extended characters which exist in German and other languages). One open in them, you can save out as an Excel file.

There is a non obvious option to default to UTF8 when opening a CSV file in Excel … I can only recall it had to do something with an import option. I tried searching for the link I found before but came up short.

A workaround is to open a new blank workbook in Excel, click the Data tab, click the Import from CSV button in the ribbon. In the popup choose you file. After you choose your file, the popup will display an option for the “File Origin”. Choose the 65001: Unicode (UTF8) option.

The downside with this workaround is that line breaks in the bio/notes fields will be read as new rows by Excel, breaking the those entries.

Hope this helps!

ps. I just made a very slight tweak to the export code which will be included in the next version that might “help” excel properly open the CSV file with the UTF8 encoding. This tweak will be in the updated planned for the end of the week.

Ok, I understand.

To add the note block:

$entry->getNotesBlock(
    array(
        'before' => '<h4>' . esc_html__( 'Notes', 'connections' ) . '</h4>' . PHP_EOL,
        'after'  => '<div class="cn-clear"></div>',
    )
);

To add the categories:

$entry->getCategoryBlock(
    array( 'label' => 'Spécialité', 'separator' => ', ' )
);

Hope this helps!

I’m sorry, I am not sure what you are asking. Give you give a little more detail?

@ Matt

Sorry, but there is not a way to accomplish this with Connections.

@ Robert

A quick web search shows that there is at least two LDAP plugins for WP:

• https://wordpress.org/plugins/ldap-login-for-intranet-sites/
• https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-ldap-login/

It appears only the first is actively maintained.

A quick glance at the feature list … it appears to me that when a user logs in via their LDAP creds, a WP User is created even though the LDAP Server is utilized for authentication. I have no experience with this plugin so I do not know if that is optional or not, but, if you wish to grant the ability for the logging in user to be able to add and maintain a directory entry, you will have to configure the LDAP plugin to create a user and map it the Subscriber role.

Additionally, you will need, at minimum, the Link extension. This is the Connections addon which allows a WP User to add and maintain a directory entry.

If it an absolute requirement that there be no WP Users created, sorry, but Connections will not be able to meet this requirement.

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ steve

Yes, that is the correct way to change the strings. Let me know if you need any further assistance.

@ Adam

Great to hear you were able to resolve this. Did you implement the changes as template override files? If you did, then those edits should be safe when updates to Gridder are released.
