Issue Summary
Currently, as far as my understanding goes, the contact dir will show the following fields in the summarized output:
Name: Mail: Category: Owner.
It would be good if there is an option for the administrator to define the view from the database, like "name: phone: fax". Currently, one has to tweak the contacts_dir.module.

We are planing to rewrite this module to allow administrators select which fields are displayed in the list and view pages. Any suggestion will be welcome.

Ah, this may be a simple feature... I'm not sure. For the site I am building, it would be advantageous to list contacts by category on certain nodes (For instance, the school board members' "contact information" would appear as a block (either in the body or side-bar) on the "school board" page. This could be accomplished with either the existing contact catagories, or maybe it would be even better to allow this module to hook into Taxonomy, as well as have a "Category." Just food for thought, but I'm pretty new to all of this. I like the module in its current form, but was considering a "hack" to make it conform to the above "block/display" issues.

Another follow-up to my anonymous post--- taxonomy might be a good thing for contacts to hook into... then I think you could use the taxonomy_block.module to list the contacts on the appropriate pages... I'm still trying to figure out how to create automatic blocks of information in the body of a node... maybe with attached node, instead of taxonomy_block. I'll keep trying to figure out how to make it all happen.
#4
There could merely be functions in the contact module that allow BBcode: [contact: id]
Or a function that allows you to redner the contact into a node: print contact_render('term',10);
By tying in contacts to taxonomy, you could make custom contact lists and using a vocab, or display relevant contact information with nodes...

Is this still being updated, or has it been dropped since CiviCRM came out? There are still some users employing it, so I think the changes suggested above (by Anonymous) would still be useful.
#6
I think this is a good module that is useful in itself, independently of civicrm. potentially it could be integrated?
I would love to know if the developer has dropped this... it doesn't look like there's any activity in cvs. ?
#7
Is anybody working on this module for 4.7?
Thanks
