[Phpgroupware-developers] Contacts/Addressbook updates

[Edgar Luna]

Hi everybody, this is an update of what is done and what is needed get
done before rc2.

Bugs that was fixed:
- Searching on principal page of addressbook
  The actual behavior is that search in all fields that are visually
  present, except for communication media.
5144, 5148, 

- Some UI bad behavior, like bad redirect and missing data from boxes.
5143, 5145, 5147, 5172, 5174, 5211, 5237, 5238, 5305
And something that was not appointed in bugs, but we found.

- Misunderstanding with preferences.
5151, 5166

- Flaws in sql_builder classes
  Some criteria was not possible and now are, (used for searching bugs
  for example). Adding robustness to many functions.
5518

- Setup script bugs.
  There was some, but ugly bugs.

- Concatenate function requested by Brian is coded, but certainly I
  could not test it yet. Apart of this, many things in sql builder
  have being maturing.

Now what is missing, and what is we are working.
- Import/Export from csv and vcard.
- LDAP integration, I need help on this idea really.
       Basically this two points have one thing in comment that is not
       working properly and in a easy interfase. For export make that
       sql records appear like one table. For import split the data in
       the parts that are different tables.

- Integration admin/setup.
       Some parts of admin was fixed but already exist bugs when
       create/edit an account.
       Setup have two know things: Nothing to trap LDAP contacts
       back end when upgrade. And don't add contacts entries for
       accounts that exist. One issue with this is that each contact
       need an owner, and here I don't know if the best default is set
       the user itself as owner, and add an Admin screen to change
       owner of all `contact systems'. Any comments?
       Update: seems that at least a redirect is needed when
       first_name and last_name box are empty.

- Infolog.
      I know this is critical, but I had not time to check what is
      failing.

- Calendar (for head I think :(), not use accounts use contacts
      instead.

- Felamimail
      Use read() function and that is related to the Import/Export
      issue, need a part that make that tables seems like a one
      simple.

- Projects
      ceb has done the work, all is working?

Dave ask me for a date, but before this, I want give the chance that
anyone is interested on contacts back end (as developer), and could
help us making the work in the broken integration with others apps.

Now I'll work on Import/Export and LDAP.
Jarg in admin catalogs management.
And lex will finish preferences.

Best Regards

PD. Jarg is delivering some changes in edit and others bugfix while
I'm writing this mail.
