When that error happens that means it is an edge case type of issue. Not having access will make this bit more difficult to troubleshoot.

The first thing, I’ll need a screenshot of the System widget on the Connections : Dashboard admin page.

Open the Connections : Manage admin page that has the error. Hit Ctrl+U to view that page source. Save the page source as a txt file. I’ll need a copy of that file.

Lastly, on line 1509 of this file:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/image/class.image.php

Add this:

var_dump( $img_path );var_dump( file_exists( $img_path ) );

This will cause quite a bit of error code text to show on the page. I’ll need a copy of error code text it displays. After you’ve copied the text, you can remove the code.

Oh…

When you add/update plugins, does WordPress prompt you for the FTP use/pass?

Can you upload images to the WordPress Media Library without an errors?

re:The email addresses are showing up as larger that all other text on the landing page that lists all available members to choose from — how can this be remedied? See http://www.teachersofgod.org/licensed-ministers for reference…
This is being caused because the theme is overriding the font size for the template. Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area to force it back.

#cn-tile-plus .email a {
  font-size: 11px !important;
}

re: Is there a way to change the number of entries that get displayed on the landing page that lists all available members to choose from ?
Yes, see this doc page:
http://connections-pro.com/documentation/template/cmap/option/pagination/

It’s for cMap but it still applies to Tile Plus (actually all templates with pagination support)

Hope that helps! Let me know.

Sorry, I think you did ask that before.

For the most part the font size is inherited by the theme. That what I try do as often as possible anyway.

Add this CSS to the theme’s custom CSS to enlarge the font size for the entries:

.cn-entry {
  font-size: 16px !important;
} 

The template does set the font size for the name because many themes can make them really, really large. To enlarge the name, add this too:

#cn-cmap .fn {
  font-size: 22px !important;
}

Hope that helps!

Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area.

span.cn-image-style {
  background: none !important;
  border: none !important;
}

That will remove the styling for the image area border.

I see. My guess is that the logos were uploaded before version 8.1 (which was only released about 4 months ago). Unfortunately, the logo scaling and cropping was applied to the logo that was uploaded overwriting the version that was uploaded. This pretty much exactly how WordPress works too except Connections added a margin as needed to make sure the image was at the size set on the settings page. So, previous 8.1, the only way to change the scale and crop of a logo (images too) was to reupload the logo/image. With that said… the only way to get rid of those margins in this case is to reupload the logos.

Version 8.1 and greater has far superior image processing now, the image/logo settings can be changed at anytime and Connections will create new the images as needed, never affecting the original (one exception) uploaded image/logo. (WordPress does not even do this natively at present, you need a plugin.)

@ Dave

When I logged in … I went to the Connections : manage admin page. Rod Cowper was not linked to the user account for Rod. YOu can see who is link to who in the last column on the Connections : Manage admin page. What I did was install the User Switching plugin and switched to that user. Since user switching bypasses the login process the account was not linked automatically, but the edit my directory entry link still checks for a match. So, all I did, as Rod, was clicked that link and click update so the link would be save. Now the articles show as expected.

The only reason a link would be broke, that I can think of, is that either the user or the entry it was linked to was deleted.

Any way, I hope that helps!

@ Jan

On the same page, in the same sections as the logo image size, change the “Crops Mode” to “Resize proportionally adjusting the size of scaled image so there are no margins added.”

Hope that helps!

@ Jen

Yes, but not easily. You would have to edit the card.php file found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-circled/

Add this where you want the numbers:

if ( $atts['show_phone_numbers'] ) $entry->getPhoneNumberBlock( array( 'format' => $atts['phone_format'] , 'type' => $atts['phone_types'] ) );
Save the file and upload it.

If you choose to do this, then I highly recommend following this QuickTip on where to upload the new file so it is safe from being overwritten during updates to Circled.

Hope that helps!

re: I missed your reply. Can I be emailed when you reply please?
You need to have to check the “Notify me of follow-up replies via email” right below the “Tags” field before you submit the post. This is enabled by default, so you should get replies, unless you unchecked it. If you didn’t uncheck it, then the replies are likely ending up in the spam/junk folder.

re: A colleague of ours suggested you to us and we were wanting to do something similar to Robin http://arizonamindbodyspirit.com/find-a-practitioner/ Which product is that using?
That site is using the Market template. If you have a responsive theme, then I highly recommend cMap instead as Market is not designed to be responsive.

re: At this stage we would add and maintain the listings ourselves. Can that be changed in the future?
Yes, you would need the Link extension.

re: We do have gravity forms but would using your form extension be easier?
Gravity Forms could probably be made to work … I honestly wouldn’t be able to tell you how though. With that said, Form is the supported method for submissions.

re: By the way the Calvin Theological Seminary link on http://connections-pro.com/add-on/excerpt/ doesn’t seem to work
Thanks for letting me know! I do have a link checker running but the way that domain was setup, it would not have been flagged as a bad link. I removed the link.

Hope that helps!

@ Jan

The template looks right … to enlarge the logo, go to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Images tab. You can adjust the logo size there.

Hope that helps!
