re: I’m trying to get the image have a link assigned and have selected in the listing dialogue but the text just expands and contracts when the image is clicked rather than going to the listings url. How can I get this to happen?
Sorry, this is not possible as the template currently is. There’s a lot of javascript logic in place that makes this all work. To change the behaviour would require reworking quite a bit of that logic.

re: even if a url would work in the text without going to the profile that would be acceptable.
If I understand correctly… the only way to do this would actually be to disable the excerpt feature of the expanding panel with the excerpt_length shortcode option Gridder enables. YOu would use it like so:
[connections excerpt_length=0]

re: Can i have the image display on the profile page as well?
This is how Gridder works by defaults … what is the exact shortcode you are currently using? What are the image settings for the Large image on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Images tab?

re: When a search gets no results the text appears in a single column extending way down the page, perhaps the result is determining the width, how can i stop that happening?
Ahhh… definitely a bug. Gridder will calculate the max width of the row so the expanding panel does not exceed that width. That width is being applied to the entired Connections container when it should only be applied to the Connections list body container. I believe I have a fix for that. If you can give me a temp admin account, I’ll log in and apply the fix. Even with this fix in place, the expanding panel would still only be a single column in this scenario. Well, maybe, I think I may have a solution for that too. I can add a line to check the number of items, if it is less than 2, allow the panel to be full width.

Hope that helps, let me know.

The order would be determined by the collation of the database. Connections will use the collation as defined by WordPress which I believe by default is utf8_general_ci.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Database_collation

Or, if no value is set, will use the databases default.

My guess is that one or the other defaulted to utf8_general_ci.

What you need to do is use phpMyAdmin and change the collation of the connections table to the utf8_swedish_ci. Here’s a link that has step by step with screenshots:

http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/138/Default+MySQL+character+set+and+collation#gs

The relevant instructions start at step 9, unless you want to change the default for the whole database (only affects new tables), then start at step one.

Hope that helps!

Yep, it looks like it works to me too … guess if it was broke, I must have fixed it… I couldn’t tell you when or how though lol

@ lenaW

Those should automatically show up when you add individuals with the last name that begin with those characters.

Hope that helps!

And thanks for anytime you can give in translating Connections!

@ Joel

Add nofollow attributes in links should work just fine … just tested it. I vaguely remember having this discussion about it working/not working; can’t remember why or why not and if it didn’t work, what I did to fix it…

Any way, you can even use this plugin to make it easier to add the nofollow attribute.

Rel Nofollow Checkbox

I also tested using this plugin, so manually adding it and using this plugin both work for me.

Hope that helps!

@ Alyssa

This may seem like an odd question … but which live demo, can you paste the link to it here?

@ Deandre

Can you share link to the page with the issue?

@ Alyssa

Sorry, there is no built in way to automatically to do entry grouping. They only way to do this would bee to set this up manually using the state filter. This would require a shortcode instance for each state. Depending on what other requirements you may have this could result in a need for a more complex configuration.

Alternatively, you could enable the Region link option on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab.

With this enabled, the state part of addresses would become links and when a user clicks on the link the results will be filtered by the state that was clicked.

I hope that helps!

@ Joel

Sorry, this would require the template to be customized and even so, the entire area could not be made to link to the entry because then the links within the card (website, details) would no longer work because you can not have links within links.
