[SOLVED] VCF address book integration? was created by fribse2011
Does anybody know of a VCF file integration from CB?
I think that is really missing :-)
What I think would be cool, is a way of exporting all your connections in CB to a VCF file.
With that it would be possible to have all your connections and their telephonenumbers / adress / whatever copied to the cell phone, just by downloading a file to the cell.

I'm not aware of any such integration. Chances are high you'd need to develop such a thing.

Oh well, no time and talents for doing that :-)

Hmm, the idea is still tumbling about inside the head :-)

I found out that the vcard format isn't that complicated, something like this would work:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
FN: name.prefix_users
PHOTO; avatar.prefix_comprofiler (GIF:http://www.example.com/dir_photos/my_photo.gif)
TEL;MOBILE;VOICE: cb_cell.prefix_comprofiler
BDAY:cb_birthday.prefix_comprofiler (reformat to 19700310)
REV:20080424T195243Z
END:VCARD

Question is, how do I get the output for a CB list? I can of course build an SQL query, and a php script, but alas my joomla / cb skills are non-existant.
I can see that there are tools for sobipro and contacts, but creating contacts of all users seems a bit silly.

Do you just need to output that has HTML and you've a Joomla plugin that will find and parse it? I don't understand what you're asking of us. You can output that using a Delimiter field and substitutions (e.g. [name], [username], [cb_birthday], etc..).

Hi Krileon

Sorry, I'm being unclear. I was (naivly) hoping that some other developers (than you) would pick this up as a good idea, and run with it :-)
But I can see your point, I can create a list that outputs in this specific format.

Oh, and how do I identify which kind of format the avatar is in, or can I somehow feed it the avatar dynamically?
vcard format apparently has a requirement that I must tell if the image is in gif or jpeg (or whatever)...

Can I remove all the CSS formatting somehow? And just output it as simple text?

Best regards
