Hello, i want to implement a contact module to be shared with another application using a database. i'm kinda lost with the Gmail or Ldap ones... they are quite complicated to understand! Any tips on a simple contact structure?

Thanks for the feedback, I will put something together with some comments to explain how the code works.

Thank you @jasonmunro i truly want to integrate contacts with database but kinda not possible because the code is quite complicated and still, you did a Ldap, Google, Local but no DB or API to access the local one.

db_contacts.zip

Attached is a boiler plate module set for adding db_contacts. It includes 2 files:

setup.php - this file associates the modules in this set with actions in cypht. You won't need to alter this file initially
modules.php - this already has all the boiler plate needed, just look for the TODO comments explaining what database interactions need to happen.

To enable this module set, do the following

unzip and move the directory to cypht/modules/
add modules[]=db_contacts to your hm3.ini file
run the config gen script

Cypht has a built in DB wrapper you can use from modules to interact with a database. The code is in lib/db.php. From inside a handler module you need only do something like the following:

$dbh = Hm_DB::connect($this->config);
$result = Hm_DB::execute($dbh, 'select fields from table', array(), false, true);

This way you can use the same database and database connection Cypht is already using (assuming you have database support enabled in your config).

Hope that helps get you started. Happy to answer any questions you come up with!
