Re: [SM-DEVEL] Address book Improvement Ideas

[Robin R. <ro...@ra...>]

I agree,

There are a couple of feature requests on Sourceforge already that ask for this.

I think what is required is something that allows a site administrator to congure the
various fields, their type (text, textbox, checkbox, date field, etc.) and how they
should be laid out. If we don't do this then I see lots of 'discussion' over just
which fields should or should not be in an address book.

I was sort of thinking also, that a plugin may be possible to do this. Something that
used the nickname as a key into a separate table/file where the extra details lived.
Not so nice though and would surely be better off in the core.

Any more thoughts?
