It sounds like any of these fit the bill, choose the design you like best:

• Circled (you’ll need to enable the category drop down and search since they are disabled by default, see the doc page.)
• cMap
• Excerpt Plus (by default it only shows the bio, but the rest of the info can be re-enabled, see the doc page also see this FAQ.)
• Gridder (you’ll need to enable the category drop down and search since they are disabled by default, see the doc page.)

The last bullet point; “Sort the list by different criteria“, there is not an option in any of the templates to allow for the user to change the sort order.

Hope that helps!

Excerpt Plus will scale the image to fit the smallest dimension and crop the excess image on the larger dimension. This crop is centered weighted meaning the crop will be taken of the sides evenly rather than one side or the other. This crop mode can not be easily changed without delving into PHP code. This crop mode was chosen for this template because of the intent of being used for a photo of an individual which are mostly centered weighted portrait photos.

If you want to try to change the default crop mode used in Connections by dipping into PHP, here’s how:

Install the Code Snippet plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

function anna_image_atts( $atts ) {

    $atts['zc'] = 2;

    return $atts;
}
add_filter( 'cn_output_default_atts_image', 'anna_image_atts' );

Save and activate the new snippet.

Hopefully this explains the difference clear enough.

Sorry, but there is not an option to display the categories in a drop down yet. It is on the feature request list An update to the Widget Pack was released last night which contains a host of new features one of which is the option to exlude categories. You can download the update from your purchase history. Here’s a FAQ on how to update.

Hope that helps!

Oh, one last thing… there are a few strings in Gridder that can be translated. See the “Changing the Label Text” section on this page.

Hope that helps!

Great to hear! Apologies about the bug. I just fixed it. The fix will be included in the 8.2.5 version due out in a few days.

re: And all my entrees disapeared???

You still in the moderation queue, click the Approved or All link in the upper left. This works exactly like the WordPress Pages and Posts admin pages where you can toggle between the published, draft, private and trash.

re: Ican’t see the number of catégory in my dropdown menu…???

This might be actually a bug. I just checked the code, the category counts are not being updated when an entry status or visibility is being updated when they are updated with the bulk actions.

I think if you edit the entry, make no changes, and click the the Update button, this will cause the category count to be recalculated. Let me know.

The Excerpt Plus template displays the photo image by default. Excerpt Plus is con be configured via its shortcode to display the logo instead. Here’s the shortcode you would use to display the logo instead on the photo image:

[connections image="logo"]

Hope that helps!

It appears you may have accidently un-approved the entries so they are now in the moderation queue. When in the moderation queue, they will not be displayed in the frontend.

On the Connections : manage admin page, add a checkmark to each entry at the left of every entry. Select Approve from the Bulk Actions and then Click Apply.

This will move them from the moderation queue back to the Approved entry list.

Lastly, disable the public_override option you enabled on the Connections : Settings admin page under the General tab.

Hope that helps!

I expect I’ll get this question more than a few times so I just added a FAQ.
