Extension:ContactManager

ContactManager is an extension built on top of Semantic MediaWiki and PageProperties that allows to manage email from multiple mailboxes, and the related contacts. The complete version is expected to support email tracking and sending of sms messages using a third party service based on the telephone numbers stored as semantic properties in the contact pages.

Installation

 * Download and place the file(s) in a directory called  in your   folder.
 * Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php
 * Run  (this will create the necessary Extension:PageProperties forms that this extension needs)
 * Run  in the extension's folder, to install the required PHP libraries
 * ✅ – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Features
ContactManager at the current version allows to bulk import email messages in the wiki and to record them in dedicated slots: specifically one for storing the related metadata, one for the email text, one for the email html and one for the raw headers. All these slots can be navigated thanks to the interface provided by Extension:PageProperties. It also creates automatically the required PageProperties forms for the import (specifically: "Contact manager mailbox" and "Contact manager contact").

In future versions ContactManager will feature better forms (specifically forms with compound inputs, expected to be available in a coming version of PageProperties), and will include email filters, and a way to send a wide variety of emails (like single messages, email campaigns, etc.) through a full-featured interface. That, combined with the latest version of Semantic MediaWiki's Datatables allows to use the wiki as a highly flexible email or contact manager, and to easily adapt it to users/customers requirements.

Create mailbox and import emails
After the installation click the "Contact manager mailbox" and then fill-in the table below. (except the field "Mailbox retrieved messages" which is used by the extension to record the retrieved messages). Ensure that you have enabled Imap for your mailbox following the instructions below.





Then go in the MediaWiki installation path and run the following command:

Done !! The extension will now import all the messages of the defined mailbox and related attachments, also creating on-the-fly contacts stored with a complete set of semantic properties using the Iconic Name Parser (specifically first name, last name, salutation, middlename, nickname, initials, suffix, full name and email).

Once completed (or stopped at same point) you can display the desired mailbox messages using a parser function like the following (it requires SemanticResultFormats)

It will create a table like the following, where you can navigate and access all your email messages!
