You need to remove define ('/ wp-content / uploads / connections-images'); from your wp-config.php file as that is not a correct value and will break thing. It is better to let Connections and WordPress to setup the path … if you’ve added anything else to the wp-config.php file by changing paths because it is very possible those are in correct too.

@ Mario

It seems the support license key was activated on positioningtool.com and removed that so you’ll be able to activate them now.

Hope that helps!

$image = $this->getImageMeta(
    array(
        'type' => 'photo',
        'size' => 'thumbnail',
        )
    );

This will return an array of image meta which will include its URL.

Hope that helps!

You need to use a few cMap enabled shortcode options.

This shortcode should d the trick:

[connections image="photo" tray_image="none" str_image="No Photo Available"]

As for the admin … the photo is shown by default, not the logo and there is not a way to change that at the moment.

I hope that helps! Let me know.

Hmmm, interesting, the links are marked as nofollow but it sounds like a bot that scanned that pages is hitting them. If that is the case, since the link is in the bots db it’ll keep hitting them until it reindexes the page and removes the link from its index because it is no longer on the source page.

It’s also odd that this would be the cause of heavy traffic. The vCard is created and sent very early in the WordPress execution stack. Basically meaning, much less resource intensive than a normal page load.

Can you host tell what is hitting the links and how often … this info would be in you’re sites access logs.

Question … how many entries per page do you have your directory set to? I took a look at the directory, it seems like it is around 50. That’s at the top end max that I recommend. This actually could be the source of the 408 errors. That really depends on the host. Listing that many does require resources … same would happen if you listed that many WordPress posts per page, so it is not a connections related issue. If you want that many, and it is the source of the error, you might want to look at a plugin like WP Rocket.

Oh, almost forgot… you can use an .htaccess file to block hits to the /vcard/ page. That’ll be the easiest solution.

I hope that helps, let me know!

@ Bugle

I can not seem to be able to replicate this…

Sometimes other plugins can mess up the roles and capabilities Connections adds (they’ll mess up the custom roles and capabilities of other plugins too).

Try resetting all the role capabilities and then reset the options.

Now, as for allowing a user to edit their own entry … you need Link and (optionally) Form.

I hope that helps!

That’s is on the todo list for Contact but for now, the only way to use Contact is from the single entry / detail view. Sorry.

@ dominic

You have to look at the page source. The screenshots show was an email address would look like in the page source. That is what email scrapping bots would see instead of email addresses.

Hope that helps!

@ dominic

There’s no way to block the admin … unless you block the admin completely from your users (there’s plugins for that). Then the only way to edit their entry will be from the /edit/ link. Just a side note, the links in the admin bar will always resolve to the admin pages. It only the links in the list and entry actions that will resolve to the frontend.

Hope that helps!

@ dominic

Sorry, no, there is not a way to remove the adding of the http://. because it is very important that http:// be on external links.

To turn the email address into an icon, you can use the email_format format shortcode option. Add it to you shortcode so you have something like this:

[connections email_format="%icon%"]

This will also remove the label. You can then use a bit of CSS to make them appear all together.

Hope that helps!
