Thread: advanced Adressbook

Thanks for that! i've been after this update for ages.

It all seems to work perfectly, however the layout of the address book panes could do with adjustment.

The 2 panes (Display Name on the left and Contact Details on the right) could do with some resizing. Currently they seem to be set to 50:50 across my screen.

Is there a way to reduce the left pane to say 25% and the right pane to 75% ?
since all my new fields are are all bunched up on the right pane.

I can post a screenshot if all this makes no sense!

cheers
Gus

Please post a screen shot.

Thanks - David

Sure, no problem.
attached image shows the left pane "Display Name" and the Right pane "Bruce...."
I would like the left pane to be half the width since it doesn't need the space,
the right pane has forced scroll bars and certain fields now take up 2 lines due to lack of width.

thanks very much!

Gus

Look in the file /skins/default/templates/addressbook.html.

Modify lines 31 and 32 to suit your needs. Something like:

#addresslist { left:20px; width:250px }
#contacts-box { left:300px }

Note that #addresslist has an initial left position and width. #contacts-box only the initial left position as it uses the rest of the frame width.

Perfect.
Thanks for that!

I'm trying to install this with the youds 3 column outlook hack. I'm not having any luick.. when I click on addressbook all I get is a blank screen. also using svn as of 2 nights ago.. 10-29-07.
thanks.

French Translation

# In File /program/localization/en_US/label.inc
# Insert after line 163
$labels['global_contact'] = 'Contact Global';
$labels['firm'] = 'Société';
$labels['position'] = 'Fonction';
$labels['p_tel'] = 'Telephone';
$labels['p_fax'] = 'Fax';
$labels['p_mob'] = 'Portable';
$labels['p_address'] = 'Addresse';
$labels['w_tel'] = 'Telephone Société';
$labels['w_fax'] = 'Fax Société';
$labels['w_mob'] = 'Porable Société';
$labels['w_address'] = 'Addresse Société';
$labels['notice'] = 'Note';

I've had managed to modify the address book by following the information given here. Now I'm able to create global contact and the address book contain additional fields.

Is there a way to limit or control creating and deleting of global contact?

I would like to have only the administrator to be able to create and delete global contact. Individual user will still be able to create and delete their own contact.

Would appreciate if anyone can help in this.

OH MY GOD ! As a french guy, I can tell you (with my poor english, soory) that this translation is totally NOT french !!!

En fr maintenant, si c'est pour donner des informations bidons et surtout ne pas savoir écrire français, alors autant s'abstenir...
depuis quand "adresse" prend 2 "D" en français ?
pourquoi mettre des accents Ã* "société" et pas Ã* "téléphone" ?
il me semble qu'un "porable" doit surement vouloir dire "portable" !!!

enfin bref... vraiment énervant de voir ça... en plus d'être inutile bien entendu...
