RE: The biggest need is to have a way to manage chamber members (and their renewals or expiration which vary depending upon when they joined). In our file we have active and inactive members on file.
What you need is a plugin like Restrict Content Pro to manage membership renewals/expiration.
RE: When I went to import into the Connections, there are only 4 fields. … However, when I did the import and used Name for their name, every single business became a new category in the category tab
The import tool you’re using is for importing categories into Connections. To import entries (listings) you need the CSV Import extension.
RE: Wondering if your plugin is capable of doing all that we might require?
I would use a membership plugin to manage the member registration/renewal/expiration. The CSV Import to import your listing with the Link extension to allow you members to edit their entry. The one missing piece is when a membership expires, the admin would have to delist the entry.
Hope this helps!
