It sound like you just need the Form extension. That’ll allow your users to edit their entries from the front end.

As for restrict viewing specific pages, Maybe you should look at a plugin like Restrict Content Pro.

Lastly, bulk emailing those in the directory I do plan on offering n extension at some point to do just that, but honestly, that is probably a ways off. It is actually a pretty complex thing to do unless it is developed to a simple mass bcc email but then you have to cross you fingers that the webhost won’t block it (basically you do not want to do it that way). Or by emailing one at a time and hope you do not hit the email limit set by the host (that limit can be smaller than you think). Basically the complexity come because emails need to be batch sent and that batch needs to be configurable so users can adjust it so it does not run against web host limits. Then there’s the double optin and optout requires that has to be builtin in order to be within government regulations/laws both foreign and domestic.

With that said …

Since those in your directory are also registered users on your site, you can use any of the many batch email plugins available to bulk email registered users. Many of those plugins have been around for awhile and have already tackled the aforementioned complexities.

I hope that helps!

The page you linked to as an example requires a login to view. Could you contact me via the link at the bottom of the page? We can discuss this in further detail.

Those fields do not show titles … there implied by being part of the name group of info. I really only get this request a couple times a year so I have not considered adding them.

Those labels can be added and in an update safe way to by using custom template override files. You would copy both the card.php and card-single.php files from the source template, add the labels to those files and then upload them to any of the paths outlined in the QuickTip.

Does that help?

Sorry, but there is not a simple, non-technical way, to do a CSV export. Right now this is set to be included in the 8.2 release.

@ Andrea

Yes, and the fix is simple. The solution is in the first two paragraphs in this FAQ.

That’ll fix it right up.

@ Erin

Thanks!

The only way to hide those fields is to use CSS. Add the follow to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-form .address-local, 
#cn-form .address-geo, 
#cn-form .address-state, 
#cn-form .address-zipcode, 
#cn-form a.geocode.button {
  display: none !important;
}

Hope that helps!

Yep, it on my pretty long list of extensions I want to develop. What I really need is a couple freelance dev’s that want to write and sell Connections extensions on this site (commissioned sales). Right now I’m pretty time constrained which makes it hard to to complete new extensions in a timely matter.

@ Margaret

In the theme’s custom CSS, there is a CSS statement that is capitalizing it. Remove the following statement from the theme’s custom CSS area and force refresh the browser. That should fix it.

span.fn.n {
  font-variant: normal;
  text-transform: capitalize;
}

Hope that helps!

As long as your support license are active, you can download all updates from your purchase history.

Most of the items now have in-admin update support. If you enter your support license keys on the Connections : Settings under the Licenses tab you’ll be notified right in the WP admin when there is an update and you will be able to apply that update with a single click right in your WP admin.

As for the update to the Widget Pack, that is still being worked on and has not yet been released. When it is, you’ll have to download it from your purchase history as 2.0 will be the first version to include the in admin update support.

Hope that helps!
