Do you have a live demo that uses the plugin?
Here: http://ndhs4girls.org/wp/?page_id=201
Is it possible to change the fields or add additional fields? That is, I’d like to be able to list three telephone numbers, plus have additional fields for names of children, etc.
Thanks.
Plugin baru lgi dari mas ahlul, keren mas..
This plugin is great! Very simple to use which is important to my clients. I have a question about how the address displays;
Address:
175 Boothby Rd. Limington, ME
That’s how it shows up on web page. Should it display next to Address instead of below?
Thank you for sharing your skills.
Look into the code, and you can search for “Address: “, you can add break tags between it and address value.
If you still get problem dont hesitate to contact me.
You can buzz me at ceo.ahlul (YM) or ceo.ahlul@msn.com..
That worked like a charm. Thank you for your support. Was happy to donate to you for this great plugin. Thank again!
Hi thanks for donation,
I’ll add new feature soon, you you can make a template for disply each entry,
Hello,
I’m just echoing what Simmons asked. This plugin would be perfect for me if I can add, delete, or edit the fields. For example, I want to remove the email required and make it optional. I also want to be able to add children, or birthday, etc.
Thank you
Hi,
Thanks for the neat plugin. Is ther some way I can allow users to add contacts? Users can only see the contact settings if I make them adminstrators!
Mantab Uda…! sangat membantu sekali Artikelnya.. tinggalnya masih di Karanggayam kah?..
Overall good stuff. Categories should be sorted alphabetically or better yet have sort order ability.
Great Plug-in, I’m using it for a clients site right now and it looks and works great! Wondering if you could answer a few questions:
1) Right now only Admin’s can edit/manage contacts. How do I make so I can make this available to Editors? When I hand this off to my client I won’t be giving them an Admin login (for there own good), but they’ll need to be able to manage the contacts.
2) How can I add more fields? Such as a description or perhaps a photo?
3) I’ve noticed that not matter where I put the [contactdir_directory] on my page it always goes on top and all text goes below it. What if I want some text above the directory? How do I get it to go above it.
4) I’ve noticed you have a CSV importer which is fantastic, is it possible to have a link for users to be able to download CSV’s of the contact?
5) If users search for a name and there are no results, is it possible to add a “You Search Returned No Results” kindof text?
6) It’d be nice if we could sort by Category in the backend.
7) Any chance of having any widgets that go along with this plugin? Perhaps Categories?
Anyway, great plugin, if we could get some answers to these I’ll for sure be donating.
I forgot WordPress makes 8 ) become 8), oh well. But it’s number 8 on my Plug-in wish list. thanks.
Ok, i’ll try to process your requested plugin soon.
termikasih infonya. saya mau tanya kira2 plugin apa yang sangat dibuthkan untuk SEO dan menangkal spam..?? menurut anda niche blog apa yang banyak visitornya ?
Pakai Akismet aja dah cukupp mas.
Love your plugin!
So On my page in WP, I have a header image and I then insert the “[contactdir_directory]” code after the image is posted, but for some reason, the Plugin always shows on top of the image. Is there a way I can post the header jpg image above the directory? THANKS IN ADVANCE!
Sorry late to respond, btw is the problem still happen?
If yes, where you contact directory URL. I’ll check it.
Anyway to display chinese character in the directory?
Yes, i think you can use any characters for directory.
Or you get a problem with it?
Great plugin but it appears that the CSV importer isn’t working correctly. My CSV file is set up according to your example, but all the fields import as one line into the Name field… strange…
It cause by version of CSV. In office 2003 use , for separate the field but 2007 use ; to separate the field.
But dont worry I’ve tag new version of this plugin, and in this version you can choose the csv style (2007 or 2003).
It will available in hours after i post this comment.
Hi Ahlul. Unfortunately it appears there’s still a problem. In my test import file I’ve used “,” then “;” then nothing at all in the address field to separate the various parts of the address, but in both cases the following error appears on import:
Warning: fgetcsv() [function.fgetcsv]: delimiter must be a character in /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/wp-contacts-directory/contact-directory.php on line 881
I’m using Excel 2007 and WordPress 2.9.2.
Hope that’s useful.
Thanks for remind me, there is a missing separator in 2.2.4, but i’ve fixed it in 2.2.5
Hello!!! thanks for the plugin. I am using version 2.9.2. I installed the plugin but when it try to activate it I get an error ” Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDFOREACH in C:….\wp-content\plugins\wp-contacts-directory\contact-directory.php on line 431
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance and once more the great work
I think the plugin is broken. Please redownload it again
Error again:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENDFOREACH in C:\xampplite\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\wp-contacts-directory\contact-directory.php on line 447
The error appears when I try to install version 2.2.3 – 2.2.5 in WordPress 2.9.2.
IN 2.9.1 it is OK .
Thank you!!! Works just fine now!! Simple and great!
Hi. Love your plugin. Upgraded to 3.0 and all my category connections are no longer displayed. Checked database and it is there but nothing shows up for a contact’s category either in the listing or the backend.
Any Ideas?
Rick
I keep getting this error in my log:
[17-Mar-2010 19:20:17] PHP Warning: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, boolean given in /var/www/html/intranet/wp-content/plugins/wp-contacts-directory/contact-directory.php on line 517
Also during the activation of the plugin I received these two errors. I’m running WP 2.9.2:

Have you update with click on message box in head of input page?
Here: admin.php?page=contactdir-manage&update=1
You have to update so the category will appear
Thanks for the quick reply. I ran update=1 and now the categories are showing in WP backend, but they are not showing on the page that uses the [contactdir_directory] shortcode. I am no longer receiving any PHP/SQL errors.
Can you tell to me the url?
Or please pm me at ceo.ahlul@yahoo.com for more discussion
I am having the same problem, have ran the update and categories showing in backend but not on main site. If a user tries to browse by category nothing is shown.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Jon
You can use old version if you want to display dropdown category:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-contacts-directory/download/
Hi, thanks for the response.
I have tried installing all earlier versions and still no categories appear.
I have send an email to your email. Can I please send you the URL?
Upgraded to 3.0. No category is shown in listings. Tryed to delete all contacts and categories – not helped!
I think your problem was same with Rick

I’m not shure where i must update this.
I delete the plugin and installed it iagain. The problem persist.
Ok, i update admin.php?page=contactdir-manage&update=1.
Categories are still not shown on the page that uses the [contactdir_directory] shortcode.
Search between categories alson don’t work.
Hmm can you provide for me you user and password for wp admin? I’ll help you directly.
I’m sorry, but i can do that. I’ve installed back the 2.2.5. version. thahs ok for now. Many thanx!
Hey, Just wondering is there is a way to have a dropdown menu to sort the categories ( in alphabetical order too)
Love the plugin and will definitely be donating once I get things setup
BTW did you ever used version before 3.0? It supported the features that you requested.
This is the version I an using, Version 3.0.1
Is there an option that i change to switch to dropdown from the multiple checkbox?
Hi Ahlul!
Nice and very useful plugin, simple clear code.Thank you for it!
Unfortunately, I can’t donate you due to I’m also an un-donated developer (but newbie on wp field:)
Only an improvement suggestion here for a possible future version:
Can you provide custom fields on Contact dir management on admin or would the CSV import be extended ( for example importing all fields from Thunderbird More Function AddressBook which can export either , or ; separated CSV)?
I can see, all of above requires modifying your tables added to the wordpress database to extend the imported or custom given additional fields, and for example in case of Thunderbird importing that would be tricky somehow synchronizing the categories also contained in the exported CSV.
If you see fancy in the written idea, really it’d be nice giving this improvement in the future version of your plugin. (Owing to there is not else so simple even combined address book plugin which maintain CSV import. Either there is which can import a CSV from outlook, but that makes posts from the imported contacts (not so good idea as per my concern) or there is a simple address book which is not able to export/import.)
Thanks for your answer,

I am using your plugin and I’ve added two categories. It should be posted on the listing which category the listing belongs, but it does not. Can you tell me how to fix this?
thanks
I have a problem with searching in this category. I discovered that the problem is if the name starts with a digit.
Hi. Did you ever figure out why the [contactdir_directory] shortcode is not showing categories? I have a demo next week and would hate to have to revert to an old version.
Thanks for this great plugin. However, could you please offer a reply in regards to adding additional fields? I REALLY need more info than is pre-built and I’m having trouble navigating the programming…

Where can I find the older version of WP Contact Directory Plugin? Like 2.2.5? I’d like to try that version… Thanks for the excellent work!!
You can download other version here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-contacts-directory/download/
Btw which version did you like?
I’ve make a question to all who use this plugin, but i not get feedback…
(your comment box does not allow line breaks?)
Hi I am using version 3.0.1 of your plugin on WP 2.9.2; these are my findings: 1) Category does not display in contact details through %category% usage in template 2) Pressing the “All” option in the alphabetical bar, throws back to the blog home page instead of listing all contacts 3) Search issues when checking a category and leaving search field blank; this does not return any contacts in that category 4) Plugin occurs twice in the plugin admin screen 5) Regarding your question; I would recommend to have 1 category and multiple tags per contact which is more in line with WP. Rgds Tom
I am using your plugin and I’ve added two categories. It should be posted on the listing which category the listing belongs, but it does not. Can you tell me how to fix this?
I also want the possibility to choose category by drop down
PIP
I also want to be able to put a text or an image above the diectory…
I am having the same issue with the category. ran the update and still not working.
I also would like the option of a drop down category selector.
Category search does not work. It only remembers the last entries category?? or maybe its only the last category it can search by.
LMK!
oh hah!! otherwise this is a great widget!! saved me lots of time.
Hi,
thanks for your plugin. It works great for me but is it posible to display filter (drop down list) by town for instance ?
Secondly, it should be great to have the ability to add new custom fields (Facebook Twitter picture, etc.).
Best regards,
AD
I have also asked for dropdown, custome fields and image + some more… and how much he want for speeding up the development and bug fixes. But i have not got any answere.
Hi,
Nice Plugin but i get a error when i try to install it on version 2.9.2 of WordPress
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR, expecting ‘,’ or ‘;’ in c:\domains\psvcrez.nl\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\wp-contacts-directory\contact-directory.php on line 729
Anny thoughts about that ?

Unfortunately I am getting the following error when attempting to look at the Contacts Directory

As you can see i’m using Xampp as a testing enviroment which is usually fine. Could this be the cause?
Thanks

Sorry, Realised my error! this box isn’t connected to the net so hence it can’t get the file contents from http://ahlul.web.id/tools/plugads/wpcontact.php
Thanks!
I like the idea of having a display category. Have you been able to do this?
I have special groups of readers that I’d like to address “privately”.
Thoughts?
“posted in category” is not working.
on the function contactdir_parse(), there is $cat_list which is suppose to display the category, but it doesnt seem to do anything. I would like to figure out how to display the category on the contacts page.

this plugin is exactly what i was lookin 4 .. but i need to use different fields, and in italian .. do you think you could do that? that would be surely worthy something more than just a donation! Let me know .. please!
Great Pulgin – wish list:
1. Add/Upload Photo
2. Icons with links to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn Profiles (place in lower right blank space
3. The ability for users to login and edit their profile
I was talking about live demo
Sorry
What Jane said! Minus second point, but I guess it wouldn’t hurt
Would be really great add
I have a bug and a proposal
Bug
With WordPress 3.0 and enabled multiple sites
the plugin does not work properly should manage contacts separately for each site.
The proposal
A great feature is to put the dynamic fields but I think it is very complex to implement.
Thanks for the plugin
bb
Actually I already had a plan for that, but till now I have some commercial project, so I think i will do all suggestion features after all my project is done.. as you know this is free
Sure but I have read this
“Need feedback soon. I confused for next features, can you give me a feedback? Now I think to keep to display category in post or page as dropdown(but keep multiple category choose as backend)? What do you think?
You can post in http://ahlul.web.id/blog/2010/01/10/wp-contacts-directory.html”
I just wanted to help:)
Ah ok.. he2 sorry I forgot about that.
BTW according to you, till it better with dropdown categories?
Nice plugin… Questions. 1. Can I somehow associate a user photo with this plugin? 2. How about custom links/icons for Facebook, twitter, etc.? 3. What happens if a contact changes email for example. How do they edit the information?
Hi Ahlul
This is really a great plugin and easy to use. Only thing that bugs me is that the categories appears in the order that you add them. Is it possible to sort them automatically so that they appear alphabetically, it will look much neater and make it easier to use.
I also think it will be better to have the categories as a drop down list on the page where you add entries for the person to select rather than a tick box. On the display page it is OK to show all the categories but they should be sorted alphabetically.
You’ll see on my site I use the plugin to build a business directory, for which it is good and will be great with the abobe enhancements. I’m sure these changes will also make sense in other applications.
Kind Regards and keep up the good work.
How about an if/else statement for something like the url so we aren’t left with empty lines above and below the filled out data.
something like if %url% =! empty { %url& } else { do nothing with this value and hide the line }
hope that makes sense!
Hi Mr. CEO.Ahlul
I m using wp-contacts dicectory which created by you. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-contacts-directory/
May I know how to display my contact list by categories? Actually there were only 2 tag for the function right?
Pls give me some suggestion what should I can do! Thanks
This is a great plugin but for some reason although within the admin Contacts dir. I can see that categories have been stored, they are not showing on the display directory page, nor or they working when a user selects to display on certain categories.
For instance I know I have several contacts in the category ‘south east’, and I can see that the category is stored against that record in the admin area, but when I select that category on the directory display page then no contacts are returned.
Am I doing something wrong, or does this aspect of the plugin not work?
I have tried a completely new install on a different domain and I am getting exactly the same issue as detailed on the 18th of August – does this plugin not actually work, and do you offer any sort of support? I am happy to pay for help with this since it is a plugin with such great potential.
Making it easier to add fields would be great. I have no problems adding new fields but others do. The easier you make it for people the more that will use this great resource.
Thanks Ahlul!
If you have no problems adding new fields perhaps you can let me know what is the code syntax that I need to enter since I can not find anywhere in the documentation that tells me how to do this – therefore the product is un-usuable.
pretty good plugin. i’m actually not necessarily using it for personal contacts, but as a directory of schools.
something that would be great to have are categories within categories (parent/child) relationship … THEN … have the ability to organize the category lists alphabetically, while separated by each parent category.
Hi, nice plugin, would be great if you have option to add picture, looking forward to next version
Hey, the Contacts Directory plugin is working great for me. The only problem is we would like the url field in the contacts go to a website outside of ours. Like, if we had http://www.irs.gov, we’d like it to go to the irs.gov website not within our directory. I know this much be an easy change. Easy suggestions. Please advise.
Love your plugin! I too would like to see some photo options. Testimonials Manager has such options, steal their ideas. For photos users can select None | Gravatar | Upload Photo
A text box for comments or notes would be nice?
Jazmen – I don’t find the behavior you mention. Adding a url to the contact does in fact go to the offsite website.
love it, but apparently i cant put text before the [contactdir_directory] shortcode, I mean I can, but on the page it shows up after the directory, this is problematic because I´m trying to give an introduction before the directory, I hope this can be fixed/added soon
@Pedro Cassian
I too am having this problem, any fix?
Pedro & Dave, have you tried creating a template page for the directory whereby you can add the text in your editor and it will show up above the listings?
yes, I’ve done that as a (hopefully) temporary fix. But ideally my client would be able to edit the text just like a regular page.
Hmmm, Are you saying, on the page template you have added somewhere above the closing content div the [contactdir_directory] shortcode and text entered via the page editor still ends up at the bottom?! Freaky wierd dude.
no, when I put the text in the template it displays fine. When I put the text in the page content (via WordPress admin) it displays below the shortcode.
@Ahlul Faradish Resha S.Si,
Hi
I’ve got the same issue: no display of the category + another one : search with categories display only the last name add within this category.
Any ideas ?
Thanks !
I installed WP Contacts 3.0.1, it’s great.. I have a question..
It’s possible export my contact list ..?
Thnks.
I installed this plugin but I have this error message :
Warning: file_get_contents(http://ahlul.web.id/tools/plugcheck/?n=WP+Contacts+Directory&h=crepesandcraic.ie&m=admin%40crepesandcraic.ie) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /content/HostingPlus/c/r/crepesandcraic.ie/web/wp-content/plugins/wp-contacts-directory/contact-directory.php on line 562

Do you have any idea what’s going on here?
The search by category isn’t working, I really like this plugin but that one feature is a must for my project. The category and address fields aren’t populating in the directory display page.
Is there a link to version 3.0?
@mike
Yes! Use phpMyAdmin and export the table as csv for excel.
great plugin, but the categories don’t display anymore and the sort by category does not work.
The address field seems to be fine, but as stated by Eric, The categories no long show up and the sort by category isn’t working.
Can we please have a link to the 3.0 version till this is addressed?
Mas… pluginx mantap… cuman kalo bisa dilengkapi donk mas, lebih detail, atau ada fasilitas form maker, supaya bisa ditambahkan sendiri ! kalo sudah jadi email saya ya mas, saya butuh untuk data santri dan siswa mas ! thanks before ….
Hello , Im new on wordpress world, so i dont understand how to make this plugin.
where and how, I should put tag.. or only [contactdir_directory]
all my best
Hi Ahlul,
The pluging is good and simple to use and install. I have just one same problem, the Category field is not showing. Plus how could it be possible for me to add a short description for each entry?
Thanks in advance.
JM
If you search just by category (the checkbox), your result will only yield the last value. The following code change in contact-directory.php should be done to fix this bug:
On line 515, you need to move the temp array declaration:
$tmparray = array();
It should be placed just above the for loop so the entire if statement now looks like:
if(is_array($query_db) and is_array($contactdir_cat_id)) {
$tmparray = array();
foreach($query_db as $query) {
if($query[cat_id]) {
$cat_id = unserialize($query[cat_id]);
foreach($contactdir_cat_id as $cid) {
if(in_array($cid,$cat_id)) {
$tmparray[] = $query;
}
}
}
}
$query_db = $tmparray;
}
this prevents it from being overwritten each time a valid category search is found.
Also the fix for the categories not showing is:
Open contact-directory.php again in an editor and locate the following function:
function contactdir_parse($array)
replace that function with the following one:
function contactdir_parse($array) {
$opt_ct = get_option(“contactdir_options”);
$template = stripslashes($opt_ct[template]);
$search = array (‘%name%’,
‘%mail%’,
‘%url%’,
‘%phone%’,
‘%category%’,
‘%address%’);
$cat_name = “”;
$cat_id = unserialize($array[cat_id]);
if(is_array($cat_id)) {
foreach($cat_id as $tid) {
$cat_name = $cat_name.’, ‘.contactdir_info($tid)->name;
}
}
$replace = array ($array[name],
$array[email],
$array[url],
$array[phone],
$cat_name,
nl2br($array[address]));
return str_replace($search, $replace, $template);
}
The old one was passing across a null variable so would never display any categories at all. The edit I have done gets the allocated ID’s of each search result, calls the function to fetch its name and concatenate it into a string called $cat_name. This string is then eventually displayed on screen in the search results.
ONe edit to the above, to correct the comma coming infront of the 1st category in my above edit, replace the $cat_name assignment with this one:
$cat_name = $cat_name.contactdir_info($tid)->name.’ , ‘;
This will ensure a comma will only come AFTER each category
@Think
This line: $cat_name = $cat_name.contactdir_info($tid)->name.’ , ‘; is producing an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘,’ in /home2/reblogla/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-contacts-directory/contact-directory.php on line 550
Thanks for working on this plugin, I’ve really been wanting to get this plugin working.
@Think
It has to do with the font that is used on this blog. The ” and ‘ are causing the errors when copied and pasted from your comments.
I replaced those and it now works perfectly.
Now if we could show a profile picture with the directory listing this would be one sweet directory plugin
Thanks again Think for your work on this.
Dave
I’m having an error message show up repeatedly on my search results page. anyone assist me with a fix? I tried the codes from above… didn’t work. thanks
@Kellie G
What is your error message? please copy paste.
The code I pasted above as mentioned by Dave Smith had issues with the standard single quotes being changed to ‘ and ’, by this website/blog.

This error code is found on my dashboard. There is another error code that comes up repeatedly with the search function on my links page.

I think those errors are not *directly* related to the plugin. They sound like an issue with your webhost/server setup/restrictions – PHP is trying to get an outgoing connection to a file. The plugin is checking to see if a new updated file exists or something similar to that nature.
Perhaps you could try editing the code to forcibly prevent that section of code from running. To do this, edit the contact-directory.php file (make sure you have a backup incase the edit has messes things up) and for everywhere you see:
function_exists(“file_get_contents”)
try replacing it with:
function_exists(“file_get_contents_abc”)
Note: only 2 occurrences are in the file.
Since the function “file_get_contents_abc” will not exist, it should not call the function to go out and fetch anything. Hopefully that should work, if not revert back to the backup version you made.
I cannot filter alphabetically. I have 36 contacts and when I click on a letter it reloads the page and all 36 contacts are still displayed. I haven’t edited the plugin in anyway. This is also happening with the Search box and the category checkboxes. Any suggestions? Many thanks. (Great plugin!)
Thanks for this simple and very effective plugin. I want to add more fields and also ability to add image. Can you help, ready to donate or pay customization fees.
Thanks
@Peter
Hey can you please share how to add new fields or share the code or modified file. That would be great. thanks in advance.
Hey, added the extra fields by adding the fields in the contact directory.php file. had to change some 30 instances , got to be a little careful, but serves the purpose.
Again thanks for this great plugin…
Now the next challenge would be to add image of the contact person. Any help is deeply appreciated.
Im not skilled on CSS and HTML your plugin is great, does any one knows how to make the display tables in 2 color, light withe and a dar grey?
Hope you can help me out!!
Please Help!
I’d like to make the %name% a link to the %url% provided however not all the names have urls. Where can I add in the code to check to see if the url isset??
The pluging is good and simple to use and install. thx
Is there a way to filter the results of the Contacts Directory in wordpress by the user-defined categories?
For example, I used your plug-in to create a contacts directory on my website, where I have set up the categories as locations/countries, e.g. categories = Canada, Hong Kong, etc. By default the plug-in lists the categories on the page as tickboxes connected to the search function. However, I would love to be able to use the categories as FILTERS, so that a user selects a category, say Canada, from a dropdown box and it filters the contacts list so that only contacts from Canada appear. Is this possible? How do I do it?
Many thanks
@Think
Thank uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
How can i search directory with category. anybody know plz tell me
how to filter directory on category link
How did you manage this? I’m struggling…
Hi,
I like your contacts directory, nice and simple but it would be useful to be able to edit contacts from the front end and also link from directory to add new contact. I would also like to be able to filter directory by category. Keep up the good work.
Regards
Chris
Thank u very much.now it’s working perpectly.
Thanks.
Call me dumb or just to new. I installed the plugin. How do I get it to display my list. I created a page and copy the template into it but no list. Please help
Hi All,
Sorry for reply all comments too late. because I’m quite busy now.
So, to answer general questions about any feature request i just want to say:
“Yes, all request that you want is possible, but … as you know when I add more features to this plugin, it mean consume more time, so I hope you send me your donation and send me your email to confirm it.. and you can ask me about the features request”…
Hey Steve,
Like most plugins, they tend to leave out the shortcode that displays; or one has to sleuth it out.
Have you tried: [contactdir_directory]
From the readme:
= How to use this plugin on my wordpress? =
Just add tag [contactdir_addform] to show add form in your post.
And add tag [contactdir_directory] to show list of directory in your post.
I think you have a security whole in WP Contacts Directory. I’ve been running it for over a month now and I keep getting links added to my posts for stuff like viagra. Evidence so far is pointing to your plugin so far. Just thought you should know.
Is there a way to add users to the Contact Dir for approval, automatically after their profile is completed? If not, does that mean I have to duplication the info they input?
@kamal
The address field is actually a full html edit window, you can add a profile image there or any other content you want. You can see an example at:
http://www.rebloglab.com/iabctucson/contact-directory/
I found that making a minor change to the website field display setup you can use anchor text for your links instead of the url itself.
Hi Ahlul,
Is it possible to list just one category from the contacts directory? If so, how is it done?
Thanks for the tool!
Cheers
Hi Ahlul,
I would like to see categories listed in dropdown menu rather than checkboxes. How soon can we expect updates. It’s a great tool! Thanks!
Hi Ahlul, please send me your email address. I’d like a quote for you to modify the script to my needs.
Thanks,
Dan
Hi Ahlul!
I’ve just started using your plugin WP Contacts Directory and I’m loving it! I spent a lot of time going through various plugins and this is by far the best. Thank you!
Of course, there are always some features you wish the product had, and here are my questions/wishlist:
1. I can’t get the categories to show when I use [contactdir_directory]. The field “Posted in category:” is blank for all contacts. Any way I can solve this?
2. Is there a way to remove/change some titles? For example, I don’t use “Website”, but I would like a title called “Phone 2″.
3. Is there a way to get clickable categories so I can see all the contacts in that specific category? Both in the admin area and when I have put [contactdir_directory].
I really appreciate that you made this plugin!
Hi Ahlul,
I love this plugin, but i am having the same issue that Pelle is having. I can’t get the categories to show when I use [contactdir_directory]. The field “Posted in category:” is blank for all contacts. Any way I can solve this?
Thank you,
Will
1) Bug: Posted in category: (categories don’t show up here).
2) A drop down sortable category menu (with sub categories) would be nice.
3) Ability to add or delete fields would also be nice.
Very nice so far
Love the plugin. Would like to suggest:
1 custom fields to enter own titles & fields
2 definately need “cell phone” or “phone 2″
3 widget for displaying directory in sidebar, maybe by category
Thanks for the app1
I don’t need phone and addresss, so I’ve taken those out, but what I do need is custom fields for a profile / short description and a URL. Possibly the option of twitter u/n & facebook page, etc. Custom fields would mean you can customise however though.
I like it with checkboxes because I’m working with more than one category, but if I select more than one category it pulls the same entry up twice, which is incredibly buggy.
It’s not really useable for me without these issues fixed, but it’s the closet I’ve found to what we need on our website.
thanks for share such a good plugin
i alredy install this and its work fine but i wanna know how is possible to have two pages with this plugin but different categories .I want to have different kinds of buisness listings
If you can answer me i will be apprechiated
Tnx!
@Juri
@Pelle
Did you ever get an answer to this?
I would love to be able to list categories (right now they don’t show) as well as sort by specific categories.
Thanks
Hi Ahlul – thank you for your nice plug in: Do you still work on it and improve it? Please let me know if you plan an update. I would be happy about sort and filter options… Regards, Ingo
I’m quite confused with where to add tag [contactdir_addform] ???
