Contact Directory
Written by Chantal Bisson   

I had promised, in my last post, to publish a list of features that I want to implement in the contact directory component. So finally, after several weeks in waiting, here are some features that I wish to implement during the summer in order to improve the contact component:

- Contact page

  •  custom fields for the contact information:
    • possible to create as many custom fields as wished
    • choose the position where the field will be displayed on the page
    • different access levels for each field
    • custom styling for each field
  • custom fields for the contact form that will be added to the message sent
  • multiple categories for one contact
  • show/hide fields to display in the page

- Directory

  • order contacts by category or alphabetically
  • display a specific category only
  • show/hide fields to display in the directory
  • different layouts

- Other

  • different user wrights for the creation / modification of a field or contact
  • import multiple contacts at once (only if I have time)
  • LDAP integration (only if I have time. I do not have lots of knowledge with the protocol and will probably need some help)

  1. Is there an option to allow search the custom fields' data? For example, each contact has the custom field of "programming language support", end user could search who has php in that field? Such feature would be handy when end user look through a bunch contacts or the contact directory. Or just make sure the Joomla built in search be able to do such :) Continue the good work & have a great fun summer!
