    Hi Steven!

    First of all, your plugin looks amazing. I can’t wait to test it out on my site.

    1. Which template would you say is the most responsive, or would respond best to a responsive theme? (we’re using OptimizePress 2)

    2. Do all your templates have category drop-downs or ways to display the categories list, or just some templates?

    3. If I buy the Pro-Pack, is there a special upgrade price for new templates/extensions that come out after my purchase, or are they the full price?

    4. I don’t see any discussion on how companies can pay for listings. Is Connections more for in-house directories and not paid listings? If so, do you know of any workarounds people have used?

    5. Can Connections be set up to show Featured Listings at the top of a list, or something like that?

    Thank you Steven! Your support looks amazing too :).

    @ Dori

    1. I would say cMap. It is also the most popular.

    2. Just the templates that feature it. The templates that do will show it in the both the sample and on the template’s demo page.

    3. Currently any new addon/templates will be added to the Pro Pack free of charge. The addons/templates would be accessible via your Purchase History page. There will be addon [large one] that will be sold outside of the Pro Pack for full price of the add on. I hope that is clear and make sense.

    4. Sorry, currently Connections does not have a method/add-on available to collect payments and manage subscriptions. Workarounds other have used is member plugins such as Restrict Content Pro or s2member to manage subscriptions although that would still mean manual interaction if a member should not resubscribe. I’m not certain I’ll develop an add-on for Connections to do this, rather, if possible, I think I would develop an add-on bridge where a membership plugin would be used to manage subscriptions to the directory. I know this would be possible with Restrict Content Pro but I do not know if other membership plugins would provide the necessary API/s.

    5. Sorry, no, not yet. I am working on a custom metabox and fields API for Connections for the 0.8 release due out around abouts the end of November that would allow me to add such a feature more easily. When I could say at this time.

    I hope that answers your questions thoroughly.

    Thank you Steven!

    I appreciate the heart and soul you put behind this product.

    I’ll be back as soon as the featured listings are available and I can find a workaround for the paid listings.

    Great job! Dori

    Dori,

    I can appreciate your questions because I had been thinking about #4 and #5 for a while now.

    I was thinking, on topic #5, what if you were to use the filtering options in the shortcode and hand-pick the featured listings to display them on the top of the page or on a separate page? It would be a manual effort but it could work. If you look into Visual Composer, you could do this with tabs or collapsible sections on the page.

    I have additional suggestions if you would like to hear them. Drop me a note sometime jeffschodde [at] gmail [dot] com.

    Cheers,
    Jeff
