Sorry, no, Connections does not have these types of features at this time.

@ Luca

I’ve never tried it but I do not see why you could not use CSS to do it. Use CSS to set the max-height to the pixel height you want then set overflow-y: scroll and
overflow-x: hidden on the widget. Let me know how it goes.

Hope that helps!

PS, if you need the exact CSS for this, please give me a link to the page and I’ll take a look.

@ Inomid

I’ve entered quite a few test entries all using different random info at random times and it has not failed. Is there anything that you know will consistently cause it to fail?

@ Mike

I believe I just replied to an email from you on this same subject. I am available to do the work. Let’s keep the conversation in email, thanks!

@ Alan

Sorry, no updates on this yet.

@ Ramona

That can be done with the image_fallback shortcode option for Excerpt Plus. You would add this option to the existing [connections] shortcode Here’s an example of how to use it:

[connections image_fallback='FALSE']

Hope that helps!

@ Betty

Could you give more details on what you mean by missing data?

I did take a look at the CSV file…

I noticed line 51 is pretty much blank; you should remove that.

Also, I see that a fancy single quote is being used instead of an apostrophe in several rows. Since the cells are not quoted, that could be causing import issues.

I’ve attached your CSV file UTF8 w/o BOM encoded to better deal with those fancy quotes. I used Notepad++ to do the conversion.

What is your source document, Excel? If it is, I suggest using LibreOffice. Excel can make a mess of CSV files.

Hope that helps, let me know!

@ Kautuk

Yes, this is possible. You need one of the many premium templates which support the user searchable category drop down list:

• Circled
• cMap
• Excerpt Plus
• Gridder
• Slim Plus
• Tile Plus

Hope that helps!

@ Kautuk

Yes, both the user searchable category drop down and the key word search are supported by Gridder. They are only off by default. See the doc page for the instructions on how to turn those features on.

Hope that helps!

@ roy

If the custom field happens to a text field, sure, that’ll work fine but not all custom fields will be “text” fields.As an example, business hours. My thought is plugins that add custom fields should hook into the search hooks I previously mentioned and perform their own search since those plugins “know” what their data is.

To search the bio and notes fields … make sure you have those fields enabled on the Connections : Settings admin page under the search tab.
