Hi,
I have a architectural question I wonder if someone can help with.
I want to create a basic address book for each members of my Drupal 6 site (every member would have his/her own book). In Drupal 5 there used to be a module called Addressbook but not in D6? I guess maybe it's pretty easy to do so with now Views and CCK? Can anyone tell me if that's the way to go or is there a D6 module which I've overlooked?
If I need to create one from scratch, could someone briefly describe to me what the architectural procedures would be?
The fields I like to have in this address books are (Name, Phone, email, activity log [text area]). I also like each member to have the ability to broadcast a message to selected member on his/her addressbook. (*note the people in the address are not members of the site).
Thanks,
Wayne

You may have already figured
You may have already figured this out, but maybe the following modules would do what you need:
Phone CCK (http://drupal.org/project/phone)
Location (http://drupal.org/project/location)
E-mail field (http://drupal.org/project/email)
I'm not sure if Email Field is integrated with Actions, but if so perhaps it would be possible to send out a mass email by providing the email action in Views Bulk Operations (http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations).
The Addresses module for D6 got bad reviews, BTW (http://drupalmodules.com/module/addresses).
Address book
Thanx for your post but i am new to drupal and i have been assigned to develop a database (more like an address book in different sections in the organization ) .......for instance , there will be a separate addressbook for managment level employees and a separate addressbook for other expert level employees and finally a user can send an e-mail for only employees he selected from the two address books .........and i don't even from where i have to start .............Please help!
