@ Janet

I just visited the site … seems like you have the templates install just fine. Could you clarify the issue that you’re having?

@ Janet

I see that you’ve downloaded the zip files for the templates … which step do you need help with? Here’s the link to the template installation doc page:

To disable the name link which leads to the single entry view, goto the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Advanced tab. Uncheck the Name Link option and save.

That will prevent the names from becoming links. Hope that helps!

@ Christine

Ok, I jumped the gun a bit…

You do receive notification when a user adds an entry right? I’m assuming you have the Add Entry Moderated permission set for the role.

The issue is just when a user edits their entry that you do not get a notification, right?

@ Christine

No, it would not be an issue if an admin were logged in.

What is the permissions the user has? Edit Entry Or Edit Entry Moderated?

Originally when Connections was developed there really wasn’t a way to use the image library. Nowadays it somewhat simple to do. So, at some point, I’ll be adding this as an option but I can not give an eta as it is a lower priority item since it is not requested all that often. what I will be doing sooner is creating a gallery type of extension for Connections. This extension will solely use the image media library.

@ Katrina

It seems that the host has Imagick installed which is great since it is faster and uses less resources than the default GD library for working with images but unfortunately they have a pretty old version installed which does not have the setImageOpacity().

A temporary fix would be to disable/comment out that function.

Open the file mention in the error message:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/image/editors/class.imagick.php

Go to line 38.

Put two forward slashes in the very front of the line so it looks like this:
//$this->image->setImageOpacity( $level );

Save the file and overwrite the original.

This will not affect the functionality of Connections so it is a safe edit. Version 8.1.6 will contain a fix for this so it’ll be safe to update to it when I release it, soon’ish.

Apologies for the trouble!

btw…

I have added this to my feature request tracker. It is a good idea, so I will be adding it as an option. I also plan on to adding a widget for both the list and entry actions to core Connections so the widgets could be used instead of being shown before the result list or entry… we’ll maybe I’ll release them as a free extension instead.

[Steven Zahm]

The code is in the connections_link.php file. The function you’ll need to edit is the listAction() function. The code in that function is what creates the view entry link.

I think this code will add a working link:

if ( is_user_logged_in() &&
    ( self::$entryID == $entry->getId() ) &&
    ( current_user_can( 'connections_edit_entry' ) || current_user_can( 'connections_edit_entry_moderated' ) )
    ) {

    cnURL::permalink( array( 'type' => 'edit', 'slug' => $entry->getSlug(), 'text' => __( 'Edit Entry', 'connections_form' ), 'return' => FALSE ) );
}

I haven’t tested it and I assume you have the Form Extension because the link will resolve to the page with Form.

Hope that helps!

@ dominic

Connections has no styling for the list, I purposefully let it pull it from the theme because theme’s generally have their lists styled to match the look and feel. so, to keep as tight as possible integration, I chose to let the theme style rather than providing my own.

Any way, all that to say, you’ll have to style it the way you want.

Hope that helps!
