   Thx Sam nice and easy for an old guy!

   “You can embed a list of your addresses in a blog post or page by putting `<addressbook />` wherever you want the list to appear.” from readme.txt

   One question : could you give sample code/wrapper for addressbook_list()? ie how to output using `<addressbook />`

   Many thanks and muchly appreciated

   PS Just thought I would aplogise for the old guy remark as it may be misunderstood – was referring to me & my little old grey cells. In no way meant to offend.

   I have passsst (some 15 yrs ago) experience with pascal & C so php is not as daunting as HTML. Currently trying to use WordPress as a teaching tool for myself and your addressbook is neat. If and I repeat If – I can suffiently aquaint myself with these tools I hope to publish a U3A midnorth coast (Nambucca) board – most users are as old or older than me and require simplicity.

   Oh yeah – the implementation of addressbook_list() function ie calling from a wordpress Page was my question.

   Sorry to be so verbose – had no intention to offend – neat code for an old guy (meaning me) to read.

   Regards
   Tony

   Tony: No offence taken! I’ve edited your first comment so that it shows the tags that WordPress stripped out (well, the <addressbook />).

   There is no need to actually call addressbook_list() in a post or anywhere: using <addressbook /> does just that, and in a way that doesn’t require one of the PHP-in-a-post plugins. So, to include a list of addresses in a page or post, just put the <addressbook /> tag where you want the list to appear.

   Hope that makes things a bit clearer, and good luck with learning WordPress!

   Hi Sam

   Can you email me I would love to talk some ideas over with you. And also the plugin didn’t load the database. Any ideas why please? It produces this error:

   WordPress database error: [Table 'cregycrm.wp_addressbook' doesn't exist]
   SELECT * FROM wp_addressbook ORDER BY first_name

   Thanks

   Hi Sam

   Just to let you know I created the table without any problems but now get a blank page when I navigate to the address book tab in manage. When I say blank page I ought to say blank apart from the top menus.

   Thanks

   I’ve been searching for a WordPress plug-in for an address book for a while now. Currently we’re using “The Address Book” which development seems to have stopped dead years ago. We’d be willing to “donate” to get a bunch of new features implemented. For example:

   — Tie it to Registered users.
   — Associate a photo with each contact.
   — Multiple addresses with being able to select the primary.
   — Multiple Phone #’s with being able to select the primary.
   — Birthday field that can be queried for upcoming birthdays.
   — Anniversary field that can be queried for upcoming ones.
   — Ability to link families and show their relation
   — Ability to hide individual contacts from being listed when using the address tag.
   — Assign contacts to a group and be able to list groups definable by the address tag

   I could give you access to our site so you can see what we’re looking for if your interested.

   Thanks for your time.

   Richard: What versions are you using (plugin and WordPress)? Try disabling and then re-enabling Addressbook. Without seeing what’s going on, I can’t really say more than that; sorry.

   Steve: I haven’t got any more time to devote to development of this plugin than I already am, sorry. However, I will have a look at implementing some of the features that you suggest; stay tuned. By the way, why do you write ‘donate’ in inverted commas? Not to express irony, I hope.

   [UPDATE]: Version 0.6 is out now.
