Hi again..
I'll give you a demo link so that you can see what i mean ni regard to group management of contacts.
www.gnative.com/dev/rc
think you mean this: http://www.gnative.com/dev/rcdev/
Looks nice, would like all of the fields to be selectable, if you wanted business stuff, you'd click the arrow to get it to 'fall out' and the like, but otherwise great start. did you do that search function for the contacts? slick!
P
Warning that this is still under development and i have a few things to sort out before it is fully functional.
I'm also using my server as a testing environment as i am currently traveling through Thailand then to china and have only access to Internet cafes so you may find at times it's not fully functional due to testing.
No extra tables needed as I'm just adding onto the end of the contact row. Though i think this might conflict with your global contacts idea. I'll have to have a look at what you have done.
As for uploading an image. I think the Keep It Simple Stupid approach might be the upload image one . We need to be able to cater for persons not to savvy on link to external images etc and just want to be able to click upload.
Not to hard to introduce a thumb nailing script that runs if there is an image module on the php server. I do agree with the "KISS" rule wholeheartedly.
Don't know of anyone working on the birthday idea or if there is a need for it.
I have just started working on this as well and haven't tried for developer access to svn yet
Be good to get some thoughts back Shane

Paul and dev's. Funny i should get this email now, i have just spent the daystarting
redeveloping of address book for my personal use (and hopefully others)
by
adding the function of grouping contacts. This is using drag and drop,
the
same as mail section and is using the same functions thou i need to sit back and address the javascript to make some of the functions universal as i can see them being used elsewhere ( actually the javascript is a completely different topic and one i would like to bring up once i have the architecture in
my
head more). The functionality will be almost idential to that of apples addressbook app.
Hello, I don't know the apples addressbook (I am a linux user) so could you describe shortly what this grouping functionality is? Does it allow to share contacts (with other users) or is it only a way to display/sort/order your
contacts
within the contact list?
What kind of new db attributes or tables do you need?
I'll post a link when i get it near complete just a few things tofinish off (almost there).
I'm also implementing vCard support for import and export ( in avariety of formats ) i have the scripts handy just need to plug them in..
Great, so I won't develop it on my side (it was my proposal number 3).
Would also like to add the support of upcoming birthday alerts thatcan be turned off in "options".
Yes! I had the same idea when I included the birthdate attribute in
the
contact profile. Is someone else already working on it?
As for the contact image if this is going to be added the we wouldneed to look at GD/imagemagik for resizing of uploaded images to be added to the database when creating a contacts.
This depends on how we want to manage images:
- the KISS solution (keep it simple stupid) is to use a link to an image
already hosted on the internet. Pros: no need for a graphic library, really simple (actually already supported by the patch I proposed), my contacts can update their image without resending me the image Cons: cross-linking, stability not guaranted (if the image vanishes
or
is renamed, it doesn't work anymore)
- the full solution is to load the image in the db, resize/convert it Pros: stable Cons: lots of dev, copyright issues (are you allowed to store these
images?), if you want to update your image you have to send it to your contacts and have it reloaded in the db
I prefer the first solution : simple and more manageable
Any other thoughts would be great as I'm fully enjoying getting intothe redesign of this.
