Thanks a ton for this module, I was looking for this kind of functionality! Would it be possible to echo the email list as a select, with checkboxes beside each email (selected or unselected as default, with a 'check all' and 'check none' button? Or would this require modifying invite.module?

Your request needs to alter invite because dcl_importer is basically importing your contact list from your email address and your request concerns the HOWs regarding sending invitations and this is the soul role of invite.

I checked how facebook does it, and I think it could be done by your module instead of invite.module (I don't think invite.module has any incentive to implement this anyway, sadly).

When you click open contact, it pops up a new window and ask you for your parameters (username, password, provider), imports your contacts as a select list. There you can click / unclick some of them, and choose 'import', which paste the list in the textarea box in the original page.

It works very well imho (and hey, if it works for facebook...). I encourage you to go to facebook.com and try it out :)

I'm also in favour of FiReaNG3Ls idea. I wrote some patches for invite already and i think we could get that done within invite. However i think other modules should benefit from selectable contacts as well. So IMHO solving this task within dcl is the right way to go.

FiReaNG3L and knseibert were right, i was wrong, enabling checkboxes should be done from "dcl_importer" but NOT from "invite", i will work on that and any patches are welcomed :-)
my apologies to all the guys whom i told that that should be done from "invite" because i was wrong, this is definitely should be done from dcl_importer.
