Plugin:VCard

I would be really interested if someone developed a plugin of this.

Tag: {exp:vcard3}

Parameters: display_name = “” first_name = “” last_name = “” additional_name = “” name_prefix = “” name_suffix = “” nickname = “” title = “” role = “” department = “” company = “” work_po_box = “” work_extended_address = “” work_address = “” work_city = “” work_state = “” work_postal_code = “” work_country = “” home_po_box = “” home_extended_address = “” home_address = “” home_city = “” home_state = “” home_postal_code = “” home_country = “” office_tel = “” home_tel = “” cell_tel = “” fax_tel = “” pager_tel = “” email1 = “” email2 = “” url = “”{url} photo = “” birthday = “” timezone = “” sort_string = “” note = “”

vcard_name = “”

vcard filename by default is {display_name}, but u can choose u own format.

For example:

{exp:vcard3 
display_name = "TSawyer" 
first_name = "Tom" 
last_name = "Sawyer"
title = "Mister"
cell_tel = "+1 914 218 94885"    
email1 = "[email protected]"
url = "http://MarkTwain.com"
company = "Fence Design"
title = "HR"
note = "2000-plus fence design ideas submitted"
vcard_name = "tsawye"}

Hoorah! This is what I’ve been working on for the past 2 hrs :D

Hey Max, I’ve tried it out and ran into a few issues…

What I’m trying to achieve, is to dynamically generate the info in the vCard based on member fields as well as custom member fields, pulling info via exp:member:custom_profile_data, but this seems to break the vcard formatting somehow.

{exp:member:custom_profile_data member_id="{segment_3}"}
{exp:vcard3
display_name = "{screen_name} {medlem_efternamn}"
first_name = "{screen_name}"
last_name = "{medlem_efternamn}"
home_tel = "{medlem_telefon1}"
cell_tel = "{medlem_telefon2}"
home_address = “John Ericssonsgatan 5”
home_city = “Stockholm”
home_postal_code = “11222”
home_country = “Sweden”  
photo = “{avatar_url}{avatar_filename}”
note = "{bio}"
}
{/exp:member:custom_profile_data}

In the code above the member info of my own user is rendered. All these fields except cell_tel is filled, yet when I download the vCard file this is what it contains:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
CLASS:PUBLIC
PRODID:-//class_vcard from TroyWolf.com//NONSGML Version 1//EN
REV:2009-03-21 19:49:32
FN:André Fredriksson
N:Fredriksson;André;;;

NOTE:Bio info
TZ:+0100
END:VCARD

Also, when using {email} to render my e-mail address, this contains the javascript that protects it, is there a way around this you think?

Aha, the color coding of the code here gave me a part of the solution, the “”-characters were incorrect. See my code example above.

Now I’m getting this:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
CLASS:PUBLIC
PRODID:-//class_vcard from TroyWolf.com//NONSGML Version 1//EN
REV:2009-03-21 19:58:00
FN:André Fredriksson
N:Fredriksson;André;;;

ADR;TYPE=home:;;John Ericssonsgatan 5;Stockholm;;11222;Sweden
TEL;TYPE=home,voice:0761-030701
NOTE:Bio info
TZ:+0100
END:VCARD

When importing this to Apple’s Address Book, “CLASS:PUBLIC” is entered together with the note.

hello, pls. check it with attach file. Is it “CLASS:PUBLIC” in the Note field (if “yes” – can u send me file for example by PM)? About email - unfortunately, I only can recommend u to turn off email protect EE functionality. I don’t see another way at this moment.

Yes, exactly. I just PM’d you the file.

Hi Max,

Any idea how you’d go about creating a vCard from a form submission which could then be emailed to a site admin as an attachment?

Hey Max, did you ever find a solution to my issue?

/A

Hello, I will try to publish the new version with bugfixing on this weekend.

This plugin is definitely on the way to what I really would love. Admittedly, I’m using it for custom weblog entries, not member profiles, but I’d love to donate to keep this going. I’m seeing a few things like the CLASS:PUBLIC showing up in the notes in Address Book, as well as a parsing of the URL returning their Unicode values. Are these in line to be fixed? Additionally, where could I donate? :D

Oh, additionally, is there a way to specify a difference between office and direct line in the vcard template?

Oh, additionally, is there a way to specify a difference between office and direct line in the vcard template?

What did you mean by direct line? You can setup office_tel, home_tel, cell_tel.

p.s. please try version in attachment

That fixes the Notes section info, but now I’m missing the email1 entry, and I’ve got a vCard like the attached.

For reference’s sake, here’s the code I’m using:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="attorney" limit="1"}
{exp:vcard3 
display_name = "{title}" 
first_name = "{first_name}" 
last_name = "{last_name}"
title = "{prefix}"
cell_tel = "+1 914 218 94885"    
email1 = "{attorney_email}"
url = "http://www.pattersonsheridan.com"
company = "Patterson & Sheridan, LLP"
title = "{job_title}"
vcard_name = "{url_title}"}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Are there any new changes to the variables in this version?
