 * When editing an existing address, I get an error when I hit Save. The error is‘
   Nothing found for Wp-admin $addressbook_basefile?page=addressbook Addressbook
   Php&action=edit&id=1’. Running WordPress 2.3.3 and AddressBook 1.0.

 * I just looked at the plugin code…
 * The variable $addressbook_basefile is referenced directly in html code which 
   is obviously not correct.
 * You’ll have to patch up the code in addressbook.php. Find the places where $addressbook_basefile
   is referenced outside a php block and change it into
    `<?php echo $addressbook_basefile;?
   >`
 * The ‘edit existing address’ problem is on line 179
 * Lines 146, 149, 263 and 264 are candidates for fixes as well (not really sure
   though since I’m no PHP guru). There the author tries to reference the variable
   inside a string constant within a PHP block.

 * That’s it, fixes the problem, thanks johanl. I’m not seeing any other errors 
   at the moment, except one small issue. When entering a contact’s website URL,
   you have to include the http:// otherwise the link doesn’t work properly.
 * Thanks again!

 * This has been fixed in [v.1.1](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/addressbook/).
   Good point about the http:// thing… I’ll fix it.
