METHODS

new HASHREF
Creates a new contact. To add the contact to the database, see "insert".
Note that this stores the hash reference, not a distinct copy of the hash it points to. You can ask the object for a copy with the hash method.
insert
Adds this record to the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.
delete
Delete this record from the database.
replace OLD_RECORD
Replaces the OLD_RECORD with this one in the database. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.
_parse_phonestring PHONENUMBER_STRING
Subroutine, takes a string and returns a list (suitable for assigning to a hash) with keys 'countrycode', 'phonenum' and 'extension'
(Should probably be moved to contact_phone.pm, hence the initial underscore.)
queue_fuzzyfiles_update
Used by insert & replace to update the fuzzy search cache
check
Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid contact. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false. Called by the insert and replace methods.
line
Returns a formatted string representing this contact, including name, title and comment.
firstlast
Returns a formatted string representing this contact, with just the name.
by_selfservice_email EMAILADDRESS
Alternate search constructor (class method). Given an email address, returns the contact for that address, or the empty string if no contact has that email address.
cgi_contact_fields
Returns a list reference containing the set of contact fields used in the web interface for one-line editing (i.e. excluding contactnum, prospectnum, custnum and locationnum, as well as password fields, but including fields for contact_email and contact_phone records.)
