@ Linda

There really is not an easy way to add search to one of the basic templates. However the character index is available to all templates. It can be enabled on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab. You can also force it on with a shortcode option, like so:

[connections show_alphaindex='true']

To list just a list of names you can use the names template that comes with Connections. It is the same templates used when clicking the View All link if that is enabled. You can force it to be used without setting it as the activate template using the shortcode option like so:

[connections templates='names']

I hope that helps, let me know.

@ Jason

You should be able to use one of the following snippets.

Use this one if you entered each child as a new row in the custom fields:

getMetaBlock( array( ‘key’ => ‘Children’ ) ); ?>

Use this one if you entered all children within a single custom field row.

getMetaBlock( array( ‘key’ => ‘Children’, ‘single’ => TRUE ) ); ?>

I believe that should do it. Let me know.

Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area to hide it:

.cn-entry-content-block.cn-entry-content-block-meta > h3 {
  display: none;
}

Hope that helps!

@ Sandra

I see you’re tweaking the template a bit … to add the logo, add the following code where you want the logo to appear:

$entry->getImage( 
    array(
        'image'    => 'logo',
        'height'   => 100,
        'width'    => 150,
        'zc'       => 3,
    )
);

Hope that helps!

I have not yet tracked do the exact issue. My best guess at this point is that WordPress is encoding the umlaut when it parses the shortcode’s options.

My suggestion is to use the category shortcode option instead and set it to the category’s ID. That will eliminate the issue.

@ Antonio

If ‘apple’ is not in the notes, it is not going to be returned as a search result. Connections will not attempt to translate words from one language to another and then do a search on the translated word. There is not a search anywhere that I’m aware of that does this unless you visit Google Translate which is highly specialized.

Thanks for posting here … what I need is a temp admin account so I can login and trace down the issue for you. Thi is something I’m not permitted to ask for on the wp.org forums. You can send me the details using the contact link at the bottom of the page. Thanks!

@ Erin

I can not see the screenshot, the file that was uploaded exceeded that max permitted size. But…

To remove the category drop down, use this shortcode:

[connections card_width=600 card_height=175 connections category=6 enable_category_by_root_parent=true enable_category_select=false]

Hope that helps!

If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

@ Kenneth

Are all the sites part of a single multi-site install of WordPress? If it is then yes. Connections can be configured to use the same db data in all subsites. But since you seem to already have data, it is a little bit more difficult to change this.

If there are not part of the same multi-site install, then no. The best I can think of is maybe try to use iframes.

Hope that helps, let me know!
