Addressbook v.0.4 — July 7th, 2007, 6PM

Uncategorized

Addressbook v.0.4 is now available. A major bug with the editing function has been fixed, and a user-requested new feature introduced.

You can now embed an addressbook list into your posts or pages. Insert <addressbook /> wherever you want a semantically-markedup list of your addresses to appear. You can change the look of the list through your theme’s stylesheet.

To upgrade to this version, simply overwrite the old addressbook.php file in your /wp-content/plugins directory, and next time you view the addressbook page (Manage » Addressbook) the update will occur. No database changes are made this time.

    I get the following error each time I add a new address or if I add the tag to a page.

    Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/pjqkug/public_html/wp-content/plugins/addressbook.php:332) in /home/pjqkug/public_html/wp-content/plugins/dd-formmailer/dd-formmailer.php on line 21

    While the plugin still works, it’s a little disconcerting. I know It’s because I have another plugin running that’s conflicting so if you can’t fix it then it’s not the end of the world.

    Suggestions:

    It would be absolutely great if you could have the option to categorise the addressbook.

    There could also be another option to rolodex the addressbook (have the alphabet above the page displayed.

    Steven: I think your header() issue might be becuase there is whitespace after the closing ?> PHP tag in addressbook.php — at least, that’s all I can think of right now. What sort of categorisation are you talking about? Categories for the individual addresses, right? Then the option to group by those categories? And using the standard WP categories?

    cjl: The mailout plugin has been dormant for quite a while, but I’ll have a stab at cleaning things up and writing some documentation, hopfully within a week or so. Stay tuned.

    Sam,

    I have been looking for an address book plugin for a while. Yours is a great start so thank you for putting in your time.

    With my limited php knowledge I tried to modify your code to better suit the needs of my site. I mainly changed some of the fields (what they are called) and the moved around how they are displayed.

    The only problem is that now I’ve done something that has broken the plugin. When I turn it on I just get a white page.

    I mainly did find/Replace all to rename the variables and then I just moved stuff around. The tweaked code is here:

    If you have a second, please look at it.

    Also, is there a way to sort the addresses by last name and alphabetically?

    Hi Sam,

    thanks for your cool little plugin. In a future version, could you add an extra field (e.g. textarea) for some tags to describe the inserted address / person?

    And is there a way to make the addresses searchable by the default search or a plugin like “search everything”?

    Cheers,
    Benny

    this is a great plugin for my website but it messes with the internal JS script.

    after installation, the visual editor in my “write” page disappeared.

    I will have to deactivate this plugin in order to write my posts properly and then activate it back.

    Is there a fix for this? I really appreciate your work as this plugin is really what I wanted.

    Thanks!

    Couldn’t get the plugin to show up in the Plugins Directory… is there a way you could put a zip file up or double check that the plugin is working properly? I tried about 4 times to upload addressbook.php to my plugins folder and it never showed up on the plugins page.

    I’ve now gotten your plugin to work by downloading it from the wordpress codex but when I try to add a contact, I receive this error:

    Cannot load addressbook.php.

    I have tried to reactivate it, and I have even reinstalled the plugin. Is there a solution to this problem? I use WordPress 2.2.
