Help required to update Phonebook plugin

[skind56]

Stopped working after upgrade to 7.2.

Here are the error messages:-
Slim:isplay::Graphics::render (106) Error: bad lines function - non hash based display formats are depreciated
Slim::Buttons::Common:ushMode (2007) Error: Couldn't push into new mode: [Plugins::PhoneBook::Plugin] !: Can't use string ("2") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at C:/Program Files/SqueezeCenter/server/Slim/Display/Graphics.pm line 169.
Slim:isplay::Graphics::render (106) Error: bad lines function - non hash based display formats are depreciated
Slim::Control::Request::execute (1800) Error: While trying to run function coderef [Slim::Control::Commands::buttonCommand]: [Can't use string ("2") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at C:/Program Files/SqueezeCenter/server/Slim/Display/Graphics.pm line 169.
]

I think this is the code causing the problem:-
sub lines
{
my $client = shift;

if (scalar(@phone_list)) {
return @{$phone_list[$context{$client} || 0]};

}
return (string('PLUGIN_PHONEBOOK_EMPTY'),'');
}

Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Yes the code may need changing to support 7.2 (which removed backwards
compatibility with a very old API for the display functions)

Are you the author of this plugin? If so you need change the lines function
to return a hash in the format defined in the display api docs:

return {
line => [ 'stuff to put on line 1', 'stuff to put on line 2' ],
overlay => ['stuff to put in overlay 1', 'stuff to put in overlay 2'],
};
