Very nice David... I have been waiting for something like this. So just to be sure before I purchase... each time you add this screen you can enter custom contact details for each screen. Each screen would be one person correct?

Awesome stuff !! Downloaded it straight away ! One problem, I added the screen then tried to edit contact details and it is not saving, just says saving entries and not going any further. From what I can see I have added info in the correct format. Please can you help. Cheers

Hey everyone, thanks so much for the posts. To avoid errors/problems, make sure the following frameworks are imported into your xcode project: 1. AddressBook.framework 2. AddressBookUI.framework and.. @atrain, yup expect to see most of my plugins using xib when possible. @mysps, yup - that's the whole point! @epicweb, - exactly! each screen is a new person. @kaybee, I believe it's because the frameworks are not in your project - can you try adding them and checking (then get back to me here) and big thanks to everyone again!, cheers, David buzztouchmods.com

Save was not saving on buzztouch.com installs. TOTALLY my fault. The darned httpS:// got me again. I keep forgetting to add the "s" to some of the url's in the index.php page. Updated! This means the "save" routine will work in the control panel.

MrDavid, please update the plugin readme and let the users know, that the two mentioned frameworks are needed! With IOS6, Xcode 4.5 and self hosted there is no way you can install the plugin on a device or simulator without those frameworks. Very proud to solve this myself, wanted to post it and saw you already mentioned it here ;-)

Wow. Finally pulled it down and gave it a quick look. Nice work. I didn't realize this was opening up the whole ABPeoplePicker class to use in my apps. That's huge. I had not looked at that framework in any detail before, but now I see a whole class of goodness to use. I posted this in the review I left and thought maybe others might find it useful too to dig deeper into the class. http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#DOCUMENTATION/ContactData/Conceptual/AddressBookProgrammingGuideforiPhone/Chapters/UI_Controllers.html Top notch stuff, very pleased with where this ended up in the app I've been working on. Great native IOS stuff.

@atrain super stoked you found it useful, and thanks for the review. I promise I'll catch up with you soon, figure we both could bounce ideas back and forth (I get the feeling we could chat for hours!). David's giving me a little push to check out android development, and when I do, I'll need as many friends beside me to make that transition! David buzztouchmods.com

In the tradition of BTMods, lets talk about customizing this contact sheet a bit. I was gonna start something up in the discussion for the plug-in. This class has a ton of features!

For those who have purchased the Contact Plugin..Does anyone know how to add the website field? I have been trying to contact the developer @MrDavid for days now but with no response. He mentioned back weeks ago that adding the website field in the control panel would work however I don't see that option. "yup - add a new row to your list: Business Name Address Phone Fax Website Thumbnail image Save contact " Is it just me? @ATRAIN I noticed in the plugin discussion that you removed fields. Is it possible to add the website field IF it is indeed missing. Because I honestly dont see the option..
