Looping thru is not really possible. The CSV file is chucked and those chunks are imported one at a time. Looping thru a CSV file which could contain tens of thousands or more would crush most inexpensive shared hosts.

If you have your Contact extension for Connections activated, please deactivate it. One of the primary feature is to suppress the display of email addresses.

I see you are using the Circled template. By design the listings view displays only limited info; photo, name, title, bio excerpt and email icon.

It appears you may have disabled the View Profile link. If you would like your visitors to view the profile page, remove the show_profile_link='FALSE' from the Connections shortcode on this page.

I hope this helps, let me know.

ps. I just notices you embedded the search widget for Connections on the page. Instead, I recommend enabling the search option for Circled.

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Licenses tab.

Copy the license keys from the sales confirmation email and paste them into the matching item license key fields.

Click the Save button.

Hope this helps! Let me know.

The get_cat_ID() is a core WP function to retrieve one of its category ID by name. You need to use the Connections equivalent found in the class.terms.php file.

$category_object = cnTerm::getBy( 'name', $category_name, 'category' );
var_dump( $category_object );
$category_id = $category_object->term_id;
var_dump( $category_id );

Hope that helps!

Sorry, this feature is not available. It just is not that highly requested. The directory pages on a site are generally some of the highest visited pages. Many users over the years have confirmed this. In my personal experience on smaller directory sites which do have reviews features, page after after page are empty giving the appearance of little to no social user interaction which gives the user the impression no one is visiting or making use of the directory. So there is little no value add for adding the feature especially when having to deal with spam and fake reviews is taken into consideration.

You can not use the category slug with the category shortcode option. You must use the category ID as explained in the FAQ and the doc for the option itself. Here’s another example…

[connections category='4' enable_category_by_root_parent=true]

Change 4 to the actual category ID for the Ohio Dispensaries category.

Hope this helps!

@ Mark

You’ll have to give me exact example because I can not see the issue…

I searched for apple and I receive 16 results. It appears these are primarily being returned because in each of those entries there is a list and that list has a class name of Apple-dash-list. As explained in this post to another user, these will be returned as results because there is no method with exluce HTML class names when performed a search in the WordPress database.

If you do not want these to be returned as results, you’ll have to edit each entry, switch the Notes field to the Text tab and remove class="Apple-dash-list" from the list.

Searching for app returns no results. This is because the [connections] shortcode on the page has the category shortcode option set, limiting the results to these categories category="26,45,69,98,275,304,305,306".

If you do the same search in the admin, you will get 5 results because it is not being limited by category. If you want these same results on the frontend, you will have to remove the category limitation in the shortcode.

Overall, it does appear the search results are correct.

I hope this helps!

Sorry, no, there is not a way to override the display style. What you could do is add the Category Widget to the Connections Sidebar on the WP Widgets admin page. You would then configure the widget as desired. After you click the Save button you will be supplied with a shortcode for that widget which you can use on the home page.

HOpe that helps!

@ Mike

Both CSS file are only updated when a template update is released. The min files are not automagically created from the non-min files. Changes you make to the non min files will not automagically be made to the min file. You can edit the no-min file and then manually update min file to include the same changes.

But you don’t have to do that for your purposes…

Copy the slim-plus.css file to the folder I referenced in a previous reply. Make your changes. Connections will from then on load that file for Slim Plus regardless if the CSS files are updated in a template update.

@ scott

Sorry, no as dropdowns do not support permalinks which is why it uses the query string instead. Using permalinks offer improved SEO (in theory, according to SEO experts). This is why both the Category widget and Enhanced categories utilize them instead. In your case I would recommend navigating to the Connections Settings admin page and click the Display tab. Scroll to the Category section and enable the option to display the categories above the directory and then adjust the display options to suit.

Hope this helps!
