Could you please try now. I create tag CLASS in parameters.

Works much better! Thanks! Now, if I want to add multiple office numbers (never mind the direct line business), do I just repeat “office_tel = “{office_number}” ” twice, with the second entry with say, “{office_number2}”?

Soon I will make v for EE2, and add more flexible parameters setting.

You are some kind of machine! It seems to be eating the main phone info. Here’s my code:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="attorney" limit="1"}
{exp:vcard3 
display_name = "{title}" 
first_name = "{first_name}" 
last_name = "{last_name}"
title = "{prefix}"
{related_entries id="office"}
office_tel = "{office_phone}"
{/related_entries}
office_tel2 = "{direct_line}"
email1 = "{attorney_email}"
url = "http://www.pattersonsheridan.com"
company = "Patterson & Sheridan, LLP"
title = "{job_title}"
vcard_name = "{url_title}"}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Here is what is getting returned:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Ackermann;Timothy;;;
FN:Timothy Ackermann
ORG:Patterson & Sheridan\, LLP;
TITLE:Associate
EMAIL;type=INTERNET;type=WORK;type=pref:[email protected]

X-ABUID:70B70F58-B47F-4A07-A585-E385433FD19F\:ABPerson
END:VCARD

Note that if I choose to remove the office_tel2 line, then the number defaults to the office number. As it stands, it is currently showing only the direct line.

but are you shore that your related_entries is works? Becouse next code and is works:

{exp:vcard3
class = "PUBLIC"
display_name = "TSawyer"
first_name = "Tom"
last_name = "Sawyer"
title = "Mister"
office_tel = "+1 914 218 9422885"
office_tel1 = "+11 914 218 9422885"
office_tel2 = "+12 914 218 9422885"
cell_tel = "+1 914 218 94885"
cell_tel1 = "+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"}

Odd. Because the code works if it’s one or the other, but not both. For instance,

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="attorney" limit="1"}
{exp:vcard3 
display_name = "{title}" 
first_name = "{first_name}" 
last_name = "{last_name}"
title = "{prefix}"
{related_entries id="office"}
office_tel = "{office_phone}"
{/related_entries}
office_tel1 = "{direct_line}"
email1 = "{attorney_email}"
url = "http://www.pattersonsheridan.com"
company = "Patterson & Sheridan, LLP"
title = "{job_title}"
vcard_name = "{url_title}"}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Yields:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Ackermann;Timothy;;;
FN:Timothy Ackermann
ORG:Patterson & Sheridan\, LLP;
TITLE:Associate
EMAIL;type=INTERNET;type=WORK;type=pref:[email protected]

X-ABUID:955F6C2A-DD80-47BE-B283-8001ED896DD8\:ABPerson
END:VCARD

But this:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="attorney" limit="1"}
{exp:vcard3 
display_name = "{title}" 
first_name = "{first_name}" 
last_name = "{last_name}"
title = "{prefix}"
{related_entries id="office"}
office_tel = "{office_phone}"
{/related_entries}
email1 = "{attorney_email}"
url = "http://www.pattersonsheridan.com"
company = "Patterson & Sheridan, LLP"
title = "{job_title}"
vcard_name = "{url_title}"}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Yields:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
N:Ackermann;Timothy;;;
FN:Timothy Ackermann

TITLE:Associate

X-ABUID:5D124EE1-A380-43C1-96CA-ED89A9A24F71\:ABPerson
END:VCARD

I know the relationship is valid, as it works in the second example, but it is ignored in the first. It even happens for manual entries like this:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="attorney" limit="1"}
{exp:vcard3 
display_name = "{title}" 
first_name = "{first_name}" 
last_name = "{last_name}"
title = "{prefix}"
office_tel = "713.555.4565"
office_tel1 = "{direct_line}"
email1 = "{attorney_email}"
url = "http://www.pattersonsheridan.com"
company = "Patterson & Sheridan, LLP"
title = "{job_title}"
vcard_name = "{url_title}"}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Which still puts out:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0

TITLE:Associate
EMAIL;type=INTERNET;type=WORK;type=pref:[email protected]

END:VCARD

Sorry to go on ad nauseum about this; I really think this is a great plugin and helps to shave off so much guesswork of getting a vcard to properly download via MIME types, etc.

Still no luck. Even when I set the numbers to non custom fields, just hardcoded entries of “713.55.4565” and “713.568.4565”, only one entry comes through, which is always the last entry. Nothing else is output. I’m currently using office_tel and office_tel1

I think is the problem with my misunderstanding specification. Let’s try one more time and I will go to read the standards 😊

That does it, sir! I haven’t tried editing the cell, etc. information, but I assume those have all been addressed in the same manner?

Christopher, I read the vCard specification again and found that even my plugin work fine for you, but it was incorrect by standards. Previous version (0.8.3) was correct, but it possible that program which you use do not understand more that one tel number without “hack”(v 0.8.4 has not standards TEL TYPE’s like voice1, voice2 etc.). What do you use for read vcard’s?

I update plugin with specification requirement’s.

Parameters: class = “” 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 = “” office_tel1 = “” office_tel2 = “” office_tel3 = “” office_tel4 = “” home_tel = “” cell_tel = “” cell_tel2 = “” cell_tel3 = “” fax_tel = “” fax_tel1 = “” fax_tel2 = “” fax_tel3 = “” pager_tel = “” email1 = “” email2 = “” url = “” photo = “” birthday = “” timezone = “” sort_string = “” note = “” vcard_name = “”

I’m using OSX’s native Address Book function.

I do see that the function is working properly with microsoft outlook, etc. and even when I simply download the vCard, I am able to see the two phone numbers, however, when I import it into Address Book in OSX, the first number

TEL;TYPE=work,voice,pref:214.720.2200

is disappearing.

It looks fine when I download the file, and even preview it by viewing the text behind it. I see this:

But when I import it into Address Book, I get this:

With some PHP trickery and base64 encoding I’ve got photos working on vCard for anyone that’s interested.

Just pass a url to the photo parameter, and you should be good to go.

Code snippet displayed below, and full file is attached for download.

<pre><code> if ($this->data[‘note’]) { $this->card .= "NOTE:".$this->data['note']."\r\n"; }

if ($this->data['photo']) {

    // For some reason Expression Engine was encoding the URL into entities.
    // Undo that madness
    $url = html_entity_decode($this->data['photo']);

    // Attempt to get the image
    $photo_handle = fopen&#40;$url, "r"&#41;;

    // The image exists, let's do this thing!
    if ($photo_handle) {

        // vCard requires to know the image type.  We will trust the input since this is for internal
        // use only, and base the filetype on the file's extension.
        // Only used gif and jpeg here, but could easily be extended to all valid times.
        // Valid types can be found in the document at http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:6_ac3IQLJSoJ:www.imc.org/pdi/vcard-21.doc+vcard+url&cd=6&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=safari
        $extension = strtolower(pathinfo($url, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));

        $photo_type = '';
        switch ($extension)
        {
            case 'gif':
                $photo_type = 'GIF';
            case 'jpeg':
            case 'jpg':
            default:
                $photo_type = 'JPEG';
        }

        // Read the photo into a buffer
        $photo_buffer = null;
        while (!feof($photo_handle)) {
            $photo_buffer .= fgets($photo_handle, 4096);
        }
        fclose($photo_handle);

        // Encode the photo!
        $photo_encoded = base64_encode($photo_buffer);

        // Actually put it all into the VCARD
        $this->card .= "PHOTO;ENCODING=BASE64;TYPE=" . $photo_type . ":" . $photo_encoded . "\r\n";
    }
}

  $this->card .= "TZ:".$this->data['timezone']."\r\n";[/code]
