# adx - addressbook.xml

adx is a minimalistic but massively web enabled address book in XML for contact management running completely in web browser.
Features: XML based, small (~350 KB), lightweight, configurable, portable, contact tagging, geo mapping, web accounts, etc.
Export functionality: vCard download, QR code generator (can be done completely offline, no external service provider needed).

## How it works: XML =={XSLT}==> HTML
Your addressbook (XML file) is transformed in your web browser (via XSLT) to a full-featured web application (HTML).
Every web browser supports XSLT out of the box!

## Requirements
- Any modern web browser should work (incl. Firefox, Safari, Chrome and any other Chromium-based browser like Edge, Vivaldi, Opera, Brave, etc). All of them have support for XSLT which is needed for adx to transfrom XML to HTML.

- For online usage (http(s)://...) no further requirements beside that you need to host the two files addressbook.xml and adx2html_phonelist.xsl on any web server.

- For local usage (file://...) most browser nowadays don't allow local file access any more out of the box. Therefore you need to configure your browser to allow local file access! See https://sourceforge.net/p/adx/wiki/Home/#important-browser-workaround-needed-for-local-usage


## Getting started with adx 
DOWNLOAD, UNZIP, OPEN IN BROWSER:
1. Download latest adx_addressbook.xml_v1.XX.zip release from https://sourceforge.net/projects/adx/files/latest/download 
2. Unzip the downloaded file
3. Deploy the two adx files (addressbook.xml and adx2html_phonelist.xls is all you need)
   - For online usage (http(s)://.../addressbook.xml) you need to upload the two adx files addressbook.xml and adx2html_phonelist.xls to any web server or web hoster
   - For local usage (file://.../addressbook.xml), you must ensure that your browser has local file access. See https://sourceforge.net/p/adx/wiki/Home/#important-browser-workaround-needed-for-local-usage
4. Open URL to addressbook.xml in a modern web browser

USAGE
- Click on a entry to show details for this contact
- Most entries in contact details are clickable (e.g. direct calling phone numbers via Skype, address lookup in Google Maps, etc.)
- To add contacts just edit addressbook.xml in a text/xml editor of your choice.


## How to update from a previous version of adx:
- Just replace the file 'adx2html_phonelist.xsl' with the new one from this release
- The file qrcodeUTF8.min.js can be removed (since adx v1.40 it's embedded directly into the XSL file adx2html_phonelist.xsl)


## Changelog:
1.52 (2023-11-09)
- Added account support for Mastodon
- Fixed problems for duplicated/similar contacts resulting in the same identifier
- Fixed bug: Selected tag is highlighted again
