Not sure I can help with the custom template, I do not have any access to the code. I do know Josh is unavailable for freelance Connections work right now…

Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-names #cn-list-body {
  -moz-column-count: 1 !important;
  -moz-column-gap: 10px;
  -webkit-column-count: 1 !important;
  -webkit-column-gap: 10px;
  column-count: 1 !important;
  column-gap: 10px;
}

That should do the trick.

I just replied to you in the other support forum thread.

Yes, there is a new folder structure. Connections will move the files automatically but because of the Imagick error it is possible this process can not complete.

Not sure how simply moving them to the root of the new directory is working for you. My best guess is you’re not using the $entry->getimage() method to display them in your custom template. Is that correct?

re: but I assume it will create a new folder versus put the image in the root folder.
No, they will be put in the entry’s subfolder, not the root.

Install the Code Snippets plugin and add it as a new snippet an activate it.

The next bugfix release I’m going to add a couple new checks to prevent this.

Thanks! Two questions…

The version of the preg_match() you have label OK in PHP 5.5 is what is already in the file. Are you using an older version of Of Connections or maybe have them labelled backwards?

I guess this is not a question … The latest versions of Connections does not use this third party library anymore. It is only still being included for backward compatibility for older versions of the CSV Import extension that required it. It s not even included for use in the core Connections plugin. So if you’re getting an error with this, you must be using an older version of Connections, yes?

@ karin

What is the old number?

You should be able to use the latest version of Connections with the old data just fine. That’s what I would recommend.

Resolved via email…

The solution was to edit the nav menu item for the directory removing the ?cn-s=&cn-cat=1 from the URL.

re: the tables the new connections uses are different from the old one. I altered one to at least import the data. that worked.
YOu say you altered one table … why not alter all the table names to match the new prefix? That sounds like it would fix the issue.

re: does your “old” version work with latest php version?
Yes.

re: Then I might try again and import just the connection data.
I suggest doing an export from the source DB of only the Connections db tables. Make sure you select every one of them. Do not miss any.

Drop the existing tables in the destination db and then do the image.

Then, if needed, make sure the imported table prefix is changed to match the new WP table prefix in the destination db.

Hope that helps!

You need the Link extension and possibly the Form extension if you want them to add it in the frontend only.

Hope that helps!

@ karin

I guess my first question is what tool/plugin did you use to migrate the database from the older server to the new? I ask because it sounds as if not all the tables in the database that Connections creates and stores its data was imported to the new database.

@ Walt

Thanks for your interest in Connections! Connections and cMap are designed to be as plug and play. For most users it gets no more complicated that playing with the large number of shortcode options that cMap enables to tweak it.

I’m not entirely certain I understand this, “Our site utilizes and iframe or other imbed code from the map provided but there could be a conflict if Connections uses WordPress users.“. I can say that Connections does not use WordPress users. The only area Connections does use users is with the Link extension for Connections and even then it only sets a user meta ID which is a behind the scenes/never seen thing that is used to link a Connections entry to a user.

I hope that answers your question thoroughly!
