Well, I really dislike when I have to say this because I like resolving the issues … but you’ll have to ask the Genesis Extender Plugin support team. I do not have access to the plugin or its code so all I can do is guess that its has to do something with its custom home page options or maybe its custom contents feature??? I don’t know just pulling that from its product description page.

The code I spoke of, that is already in Connections. My guess is it is being preempted by the the Genesis Extender Plugin custom home page features. The like only solution will be to create a “Results” page with on the [connections] shortcode on it, no options and then set it as the directory home page.

Hope that helps!

No, like this:

First Name,Last Name,Chamber Member Industries
Jane,Doe,"Accounting Services, Advertising ,Aerospace"

You will only have two rows, three columns. All the categories will be in one “cell” separated by commas with the entire “cell” wrapped in double-quotes.

No categories will be deleted, the import will only add new ones new categories.

Hope that helps!

Yep, it’s “Pie Register”. They quite possible broke any plugin that relies on the wp_login action hook.

Here’s the lines of code that has the bug:
– https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/pie-register/tags/2.0.13/pie-register.php#L966
– https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/pie-register/tags/2.0.13/pie-register.php#L1001
– https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/pie-register/tags/2.0.13/pie-register.php#L1014

They should either not call the wp_login action hook at all or they should pass the $user object as a second variable like so:
do_action( 'wp_login', $user->user_login, $user );

The only fix right now … You’d have to edit that file, all three instances, to either remove the call or add the second variable. The safest solution is the latter because it might be possible that “Pie Register” may run in a way the core WordPress action wp_login is never run and it needs to run for Link and any other plugin that may rely on it.

Hope that helps!

Well, I know “User Switching” works perfectly fine with Connections and Link … I use it, a lot, myself.

My vote is “Pie Register” … I’m checking out its code right now …

@ Alex

Maybe it’s best to start by tweaking one of the template that come with Connections to learn how. See the ~README.txt file in the ../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/ folder.

To answer you question … since I do not know what in the file, its impossible for me to answer but I’ll point you the right direction.

You need to register a template with Connections. See how its done here in the Default Card Template.

The registration is called here:
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/8.1.5/templates/card/card-default.php#L126

The actual registration details from the above call is here:
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/8.1.5/templates/card/card-default.php#L29

Hope that helps!

Replace this:
echo 'getFirstName() , ' ' , $entry->getLastName() , '" src="' , CN_IMAGE_BASE_URL , $entry->getImageNameCard() , '" />' , "\n";

With this:
$entry->getImage( array( 'width' => 100 ) );

If I have not asked and you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

re: I have been updating the plugins as often as possible. It doesn’t look like link has been updated since July…correct?
Right, the latest version is 2.0.2. Do you have version 2.0.2 installed?

What about my second comment? “since “it started recently” that hints to the possibility of a new plugin that was installed or a plugin update that is breaking the hook in WordPress Link hooks into to properly function. Which plugins have you installed or updated recently, try deactivating them to see if the error goes away.”

Have you temporarily deactivate other plugins to see if the error goes away? My guess is another plugin or maybe even the theme is improperly hooking into the WordPress wp_login action hook.

re: I have some problems with the connections search widget that I add to sidebars. As soon as you type a letter it takes you off to another page when pressing enter!
A plugin or the theme is wrapping the search widget with a link to your site. So when you click on it, you are taken to that page. Here’s the page source:

<section id="cnw_search-3" class="widget widget_cnw_search">
<div class="widget-wrap">
<h4 class="widget-title widgettitle">
<a href="http://www.swissgiraffe.com/directory/travel/hotels/">Looking for something?</a></h4>
<a href="http://www.swissgiraffe.com/directory/travel/hotels/">
<form role="search" method="get" action="http://www.swissgiraffe.com/">
<span class="cn-search">
<input type="text" id="cn-search-input" name="cn-s" value="" placeholder="Search">
<input type="submit" name="" id="cn-search-submit" class="cn-search-button" value="" tabindex="-1">
</span>
</form>
</a>
</div>
</section>

Both the widget title and the entire search form is being wrapped in a link that goes to this URL:
http://www.swissgiraffe.com/directory/travel/hotels/

I have no idea what plugin or why the theme would do this. My suggestion is start deactivating plugins to find the one causing the trouble.

re: Second is that when you use the search on the page you were taken to, it pulls up WordPress Posts instead of Connection entries!?
Do you have your home page set as the directory home page? If you do, you can not do that because WordPress has issues properly detecting registered query vars in plugins and becomes “confused”, so it shows the blog archive page. I do have code that tries to fix this which is most instances, unfortunately not all.

@ Josh

Sorry but the only two valid options are anniversary and birthday.

The next update to the Widget Pack will have a widget (and a shortcode [generated by the widget]) that can be used for this.

The [upcoming_list] shortcode is old and hasn’t been will maintains because of its lack of being used. After I have the Widget Pack released, I’ll likely look into leveraging that new code to bring it to feature parity.

Hope that helps!
