MyAddressBook provides two new content types AddressBook and Contact as well as some custom fields, validators, widgets and view macros via MyATE to handle structured names (first name, last name), street addresses, email, homepage etc.

Special features

• Contact ids are generated from the name whenever possible.
• Email addresses get masked for anonymous views but they are functional links when seen by authenticated users.
• The URL field supports a configurable default protocol which is set to http for the homepage field.
• A custom URL validator to support the previous feature.
• Address books allow configuration of which fields from their contacts to be included in the overview.
