collective.contacts 1.5.2

Address book product for Plone

collective.contacts

English

This product provides an address book where you can add Persons, Organizations and Groups

The address book has 3 customized views, one for Persons, one for Organizations and one for Groups.

The product is fully internationalized, so if you want it in your language, you just need to add another folder to the locales folder and add your language there.

It also features search capabilities, export, import and ability to send mail to several people.

Searching:

There’s a quick search and an advanced search. From the quick one, you can put any text and it will show you all users, organizations, or groups that have that text (or part of it) in any of their fields. From the advanced one, you can specify text (or part of it) for each field from persons or organizations to do a more precise search.

Export:

At the moment you can export your persons or organizations to a csv file. It exports all fields from them, you can’t filter.

Import:

You can import Persons or organizations, but csv has to have very precise format, so importing a csv that was exported using this exporter is recommended.

Sending mail:

This product does not provide any form to send mails from the portal, what it does is provide you a mailto: with all persons, or organizations that you have selected, so you can send the email with your favorite email client without needing to copy&paste all of them.

• Added a css to override Plone’s default behaviour when editing a drop down field inline (it repeats the field label).

1.3.2

• Fixed display issues with rich text fields.

• Added sector and subsector drop downs to the advanced organizations search.

• Added a “Go back” link, when doing a quick search.

• [FIXED] was using the same id for translating both work and personal email in the search for persons template.

• Replaced the way content was retrieved for the views. Now it uses the catalog and, in the case of the persons, it uses the advanced query capabilities so it will sort using last name first and then first name.

• Added 2 sortable fields to the catalog, one for the last name and the other for the first name. They are added and indexed on installation.

• Added types names translation to the old i18n (probably a Plone bug?).

1.3.0

• Did an override over the contentviews template to workaround a possible bug of Plone when having the default page as a portal_action.

• Found a way to get the ‘Work’ schemata title to be translated to spanish.

• Added the “Select all” checkbox to all tables.

• Added an uninstall profile.

• When a user has permission to view an address book, it will see the 3 main tabs with the 3 main views.

• Added Sectors and Sub sectors drop downs to organizations, where you can select a “sector” and then the “sub sectors” are automatically updated using KSS (Same behaviour as countries and states). This sectors are loaded in the address book itself.

• Replaced the Country and State text entries with a drop down for all countries and, using kss, a drop down with states for each country. This was mainly taken from GetPaid, so most of the credit goes for those great gentlemen.

• Title for the group view page.

• Moved some fields to the default schemata, so instead of a drop down, they are shown as tabs.

• Replaced the advanced search link with buttons.

• Fixed a bug with the advanced search. Was giving some errors when searching persons based on their organization.
