Some time has past since my last post and probably many of you are impatient to know what has been going on with my project. Midterm was from July 7th to July 14th and I am glad to say that I have passed and still working very hard on the contact/directory component. My project has been progressing at a good pace. I'm now displaying the contacts in three different "views". The first is the "Contact" view which displays a single contact’s information and an email form. The option of showing a captcha image to prevent spam has been added to the email form. Everything that is displayed on the page is customizable. It is possible to choose the position that each item is displayed in (even the email form), and also apply custom CSS formatting to those items. The two other views that I worked on are the "Category" view which displays a list of contacts from a single category and the "Categories" view that displays a list of all contacts. In order to facilitate the search for a specific contact, I have implemented two type of filtering in these views. The first is an alphabet filter that searches the first letter of the contact's name, and the second is a search box filter that searches the sequence of letters anywhere in the contact's name. Like for the "contact" view, it is possible to choose which fields to show or hide and once again it is possible to apply custom CSS formatting to the fields. There are other smaller functionalities that I have implemented in the component. You are welcome to try my component out and test them for yourself by downloading my code from the joomlacode website. You are also free to report any bug that you find to me so that I may fix them. http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/gsoc2008/scmsvn/?action=browse&path=%2FJContactMiniWeb%2F Even though it might seem that my project is coming to completion. I still have many small things I need to do before it is finished. In the coming week I am planning to work on the router.php file that parses the joomla url into a clean url, the language files and the install file.
