'kay. I've finally fixed all that I think you didn't like about
bbdb-srv's caller id stuff:
1. it autoloads anything it needs, so the above error goes away
2. if you pass parameters to bbdb-srv-add-phone, it doesn't ask
questions - it just quietly adds the stuff
3. it returns the bbdb record it created, just in case that's of use
to you.
the parameters for bbdb-srv-add-phone are phonenumber plus optional
description and record. if description is set, it's used as the
"location" field of the phone record. if record is set: if it's a
string, bbdb will look it up using bbdb-search-simple, and add the new
number to that record. if it doesn't find a record, it creates one. if
you specify an actual bbdb record, it uses the record as-is. doesn't
check the format, either.
so what i'd suggest you use for the parameters is: set description to
the time of day, and record to something like "caller id". then you'll
end up with a record that looks a bit like this:
caller id
10:15:26 29/07/2001: 3845628375
10:16:26 29/07/2001: 3845628375
10:17:26 29/07/2001: 3845628375
10:18:26 29/07/2001: 3845628375
10:19:26 29/07/2001: 3845628375
(persistent caller, eh?)
of course, it now occurs to me that i need to modify the 'refile' code
so you can pick up one of those numbers and refile it into an existing
record, i.e. a field-oriented refile function. hmmm.
cheers,
waider. excuse lack of caps. shift-key-finger injured.
