Two Feature Requests

Hi Kevstav, it is possible.

I'm working on this module but have not submitted any code changes because I have changed the behaviour of the addressbook.

The version I am working on allows importing hundreds of entries via CSV even if they have the same address (good for offices, where over 250 people in my office work at the same location). Instead of creating one family for our office , I changed the code to create 250 members.

I also added search by first name, show multiple result sets.

I am attaching the file I modified. prerequisites are the actual module it'self (latest as of the date of writing) and drupal 6. Just unzip the file and copy over addressbook.module

Edit: 2 years later , this can be done using the Drupal GUI with views , content types, and "Features" as well as "Feeds" (for importing csv). I worked on such an addressbook on an internal public sector intranet site using Drupal 7, we didn't need to use this module, although the zip file above contains some prototype work.

I would love it if i could add/remove fields to the database, for example.. i'm making a address book of families in our school. I want to be able to show the profession of each parent, along with their email, phone, etc.. And I want to add a grade field for the students, but remove DOB.

Okay one more... it would be nice to have somewhere to delete the entire database in one button.. I have uploaded items but they didn't go in properly from the CSV file, now i want to upload a new file but can't delete all the entries.

A custom addressbook can be created using the Drupal GUI and a few modules (Views, content types, Feeds (for csv import to sync to content type) and some creativeness. If I were starting this from scratch again I'd look on drupal.org for a "Feature" that contains an addressbook or phonebook "feature"/"Module" , probably why this module is not popular, there's easier ways to do this using the GUI.
