Uncategorized I have been ignoring this blog lately, I know. I’ve just been rather annoyed with WordPress, to tell the truth, and have been off playing in PmWiki at my own little place under archives.org.au. So, sorry, no exciting updates from Life At IBM (ha! as if there ever was!)
Anyway, I’ve just released the latest version of my Addressbook plugin (so tell me anything I need to know about it here, below). This release fixes a couple of bugs that Benny brought to light, and reduces to Level 4 the required user level that a user must be at in order to manage the addressbook.
I’m also about to release a little image slideshow (or banner rotation) plugin that I (lovingly crafted) last night for Kerrie Tucker’s blog. (I’m just waiting for the wp-plugins.net repository to be approved.) And I might neaten up my bookkeeping plugin and release that later this week…
Thanks everyone, for using Addressbook.

Thanks for developing the plugin.
Just wondering if Addressbook can be used to track posts about records (contacts) in the address book?
For example, say you had a growing list of public figures you are writing about? Don’t want to have to create categories for each one as this is not the main feature of the blog. And don’t necessarily want to list EVERY post that may contain their name via a search query. Can addressbook provide a mechanism to sort by last name, etc., then lists some admin-selected (most pertinent) posts about them. A field where some post ids could be tracked, then called upon for listing the posts?
Thank you,
PS. Looking forward to your banner slideshow plugin. Been using Flashfader, but it has not been updated recently and not sure about 2.3 computability yet? Does yours allow for more than one presentation to be displayed on the site–a major request of Flashfader users?

Hi Sam
Just downloaded and installed the bookkeeping (which incidentally is the only word in the English language with three double letters together!) plugin and unfortunately the screen went white! I think that is what happened when I first installed the address book plugin – now it doesn’t. What happened between the installation of the two that might have stopped this.
I am really looking forward to using this and would love to spend sometime suggesting development for both this and address book if you are willing!
Thanks

Hi Sam
I discovered I was producing a blank page on another php programme and it turned out to be some sort of memory leak. Hope that might help.

Like your Addressbook plugin alot.
Got some suggestions:
- Fields for Mobile phone number, Fax number, and home address.
- Search functionality
- Provide option to move the Addressbook tab to top level instead of Manage > Addressbook
Thanks again… Great plugin.

Owen: I’m not quite sure of what you’re aiming at, but would the new tagging functionality not be suitable?
Richard: I’ve been unable to reproduce your bug, but it may be something to do with the order in which menu items are loaded (I’m not really sure). If it’s all working now, I think I’ll just assume that it was a local, transitory, issue.
Benny: No, thank you my friend!
Thomy: Thanks for pointing this out, I’ve fixed it in the new release. What (XHTML strict) browser are you using, by the way?
Jonathan: I’ve added the option to use a top-level menu item (available now in trunk), and am working on the search function. As soon as I’ve got it working I’ll release v.0.8 (and I know, my version numbering doesn’t really reflect the magnitude of changes, but at least it’s upwards-bound…).
Everyone: Please report bugs etc. here and not by emailing me! I will lose track of whatever you email me, and it won’t get done. (I’m not a frightfully organised person, y’know.)

Hi
As I am maneging a larger site for an organisation with a lot of members, I was wondering if it would be possiple to use the adress-book plugin to create mail-lists. As in the admin logs in, chooses a range of adresses and send of a mail to all of these (instead of typing them in individually).

Great Addon !
couple questions if you have the time…
Can this plugin be used for more than one addressbook? maybe changing it a little bit to look as if it’s a different plugin?
How easy is it to change the way it shows up on a page? Is there a way to make it look a bit more like it does in the admin page?
Thanks Again!
