#21 Field Validation and Misc.
Don,
Per your advice in the Help forum, I'm adding feature
requests here.
I'd like to see support for:
identifying key fields as required
data type validation
gender (or ability to make the prefix required)
email validation or double entry comparison
Street Address as 2 lines - Address Line 1, Address Line
2
phone number feilds with separate entry boxes (should
include area code so xxx-xxx-xxxx)
I realize this is a pretty extensive list and I'd be willing
to pay something for the work, as I need this for a
client (if you're willing/able).

A little more while I'm here:
a few more custom fields
I like the pick list idea in the previous RFE

The phone number format you ask for is US-centric. My
original format had these as separate fields but I decided
against it since there is no standard telephone number format.
I can add support for required fields and a gender field. I
really don't see the point in email validation since the
email is in plain text and the user can simply _read_ what
he/she is typing.
Why do you need address1 and address2 fields as oppose to
the text field with line breaks?

Correct, but...that's where I am. I need to get folks to enter
an area code - if it's not a seperate field, many of 'em will
skip it (and despite instructions to the contary in the field
label). Ann additional field that's required seems simplest.

Great!

What can I say? The client requested it. I can't say I
personally see it as necessary.
>Why do you need address1 and address2 fields as oppose to

These would need to go into seperate fields in an Access
database that the client will use for mailing list management.
The module already accepts vCard format data for import. Is
it possible to add vCard format export, as well? This client
wouldn't use it, but I think most would. It'd be easier to
export to Outlook and use that for list management instead of
Access...
Anyway - how much would you consider for compensation?

Man have I been letting these RFEs rot.
I have to add some fields so I can throw gender in for now,
perhaps even required fields.
The others seem pretty user-specific and I wouldn't be
too-enthused about them.

Alright well I have gender implemented. I should probably
do required fields as well before too long but I'll probably
push out 0.9.0 without it.

I'm thinking I'll have a mod_phpwscontacts_required table
that would just contain one field for the field name if that
field is required. Maybe I can work this in starting tomorrow.
