ParticipantGood Morning Steven Zahm, it’s been some time since we last spoke, Connections has proved reliable and consistent over all the 6 years I’ve used it since 2012 and Connections has amazing help. – Thank you. I’ve let my site slip a little and would like to give it + Connections one last go, so I have two requests.
1) I would like to understand how to make a website directory entirely out of the Connections Plugin, so even the site pages are generated dynamically from Connections rather than from WordPress, – I know this is possible, and I would prefer to do it myself rather than uses a consultant.
There must be some document or information source that describes and shows me how to set up from scratch, (I think this has been my only complaint about Connections – the documentation is in small chunks – like a unix man page) – I’m looking for a “howto” document to follow. If you don’t have this available then I will push forward without it, but even so I would like to know and understand how to build this from scratch where all the site pages are generated from Connections.
2.) Secondly, I would like to have one single upgrade price for the full suite, for multiple sites. – you can see my purchase history and let me know which will be best for me.
Lastly, thank you for all your excellent support in the past, It’s the School Holidays and this is when I mostly move forward with changes and updated on my website projects.
Kindest regards

Apologies for my delay in reply!

I suppose this could be possible but Connections is really designed to be embedded on a page. So, you would need at least one. Probably the one that you would set as your static homepage in the WP settings. You could use the shortcode or the new WP5 editor block.
On the Connections Settings admin page under the Advanced tab you could enable all the permalink options. In combination with the Enhanced Categories extension and the cMap template (with its category dropdown filter displabled)
With that, I guess the entire site would be Connections powered. It really depends on what the envisioned goal is.
Doing this what just using the Connections codebase is probably feasible too. I guess it really depends on the desired end goal.
In regards to documentation, depending on when you last looked, there is a lot more of it. But, it is primarily focused around using Connections and its addons, not the code. The code itself is documented inline using phpDoc. I guess that is what you mean by the Linux man pages.

I see you’ve purchased the Pro Pack, you can renew it for a discounted price if $59.99.
Not sure how helpful this is, but I do hope it is!

RE: I see you’ve purchased the Pro Pack, you can renew it for a discounted price if $59.99.
If I wanted the Pro Pack + multiple sites (up to 3 or 5 sites) is there an option/discount for that + the pro-pack
Thank you.

- Navigate to your purchase history page.
- Click the Licenses tab.
- Click the renew license link for the Pro Pack.
- Complete the purchase on the checkout page.
After you renew, you can opt to upgrade the license to a multiple site license. The process is very similar.
Navigate back to the Licenses and now click the View Upgrades link (only available after you renew).
Here you can choose which multiple site license option you want. Click the Upgrade Licenses link. This page will show you the upgrade fee. It is discounted from the full price by either the renewal fee you just paid for the Pro Pack or it might be discounted by the full price of the Pro Pack. I can not recall off the top of my head how the cart processes the discount after a renewal. The discount will be either 59.99 or 79.99 off the full price off the multiple site license option you chose.
Hope this is clear and makes sense!
