Addressbook Global Contacts

Hi All

I've recently converted over to RC and use it alongside a CRM i develop. My users biggest gripe was the lack of a global address book. After a quick 5 minute hack got one working by changing a few queries. For all the files in 'program/steps/addressbook/' i changed the queries like:

$DB->query("SELECT * FROM ".get_table_name('contacts')." WHERE contact_id=? AND user_id=? AND del<>1", $cid, $_SESSION['user_id']);

With a slightly different one such as:

$DB->query("SELECT * FROM ".get_table_name('contacts')." WHERE contact_id=? AND (user_id=? OR user_id='0') AND del<>1", $cid, $_SESSION['user_id']);

I haven't worked out how to change the UI yet, but i'm sure it isn't hard. A feature like this would be a nice addition in the next release.

NOTE: Contacts are currently inserted/updated by an automated script that sets the user_id field to 0.

Cheers, Dan
