RE: [Phpgroupware-developers] NEW APP: addbook is in cvs

[Brad Sturgill]

In response to the postal code... I don't believe that there is any reason
that anybody should have to "conform" to ONE particular standard, rather
that the system be flexible to meet the standard of the end user.  To that
end, there are a number of ways to facilitate this change including but not
limited to:

1.  recognizing the location of the individual (by country) and applying the
standard.
2.  by allowing the end user to define screen sequence standards on their
own in preferences.  this would allow a default preference to be established
by the administrator and then the user to override the default if they
prefer.

This should be true for everything that has different geographic standards.

Yes, thanks Seek3r.

Please note that Heiko is the one who coded addbook. So he better
answers this.

As a matter of fact I have to learn more php to code myself. :-)

Well in Germany the Postal Code always comes before the city. Of course
this is different from the US way to write addresses but why should
addbook be changed to the US way? I don't understand that argument
sorry, or did you want to say the majority of countries uses the US way?

I think we should compile a list of all open problems/bugs/compliance
changes etc.
