Description Dotan Cohen 2010-01-22 09:18:01 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Please add a feature to link people in Kaddressbook by relation. For instance, if I have a contact Ety Cohen who is married to Dotan Cohen, then I'd like a way to associate the two. Then, by opening the contact "Ety Cohen" I would have a link to "Dotan Cohen".

Note that this feature request is in response to Tobias' order to refile feature requests from the old Kaddressbook against the new Kaddressbook. Here are the relevant bugs that were closed in the old Kaddressbook:

Comment 2 Dotan Cohen 2010-01-22 09:36:26 UTC

Please note that using custom fields to store this info is not ideal because:
1) There is no way to them select a contact from a list to enter the date
2) After the data is entered, there is no clickable link to the associated
contact.

This is an exact fit for Nepomuk's semantic relations.  It should be straightforward to have some kind of 'Relationships' tab per contact that lists all relationships and allows direct links to their subjects.

Comment 4 Tobias Koenig 2010-06-20 13:28:06 UTC

Providing information about these relationships is out of scope for KAddressBook and should be implemented in a separated application with a user interface that has been designed for exactly this purpose.
This application can make use of Nepomuk and Akonadi of course and use the contact library for the viewer components.
