vCard Plugin

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

This plugin lets you create vCard files on the fly in your wiki, which other users can download and add to their addressbook. With the folded plugin installed, you can unfold information about the person right in your wiki.

The output the plugin will produce looks like this:

Example:

{{vcard>[Organisation] Full Name <name@example.org> http://www.example.org 1976-05-03 # +41 43 534 0462 | Street Nr., ZIP City, Country}}

{{vcard>[Kriminálka] Kapitán Dastych <kapitan@dastych.cz> http://www.dastych.cz 1997-2-11 # work & mobile & home & fax | Protiprávní 12, 11000 Praha, Czech replublic }}

All information besides the name is optional. Here are the parameters:

Fields in first part (before #)

1. [company] - company name
2. Name: space delimited words; the first is considered to be the first name, the last to be the last name; everything in between will be middle / additional name.
3. E-Mail: enclosed in < and > signs.
4. Website: only http is recognized.
5. Birthday: in format yyyy-mm-dd.

Second part (between # and |) are phone numbers separated by & in order

1. the first is considered as home phone
2. the second as cell phone
3. the third as work phone
4. and the fourth as fax number

Third part is address; there are three field separated by commas

1. first street
2. then zip-code and city (separated by space)
3. and finally country.

• There are some encoding problems with converting the vCard to quoted-printable and Apple Addressbook doesn't recognize UTF-8.

As an alternative to the ad hoc approach of the above versions, the vcard plugin was rewritten without hardcoding any vCard field names or field structures (so without Kai's PHP class). The idea is that you write the vcard record directly between <vcard> tags, but in a much nicer syntax. This allows you to put any (text-based) properties in the vCard. Main drawback: plain HTML presentation of the same data is no longer possible (fold or no fold).

For more fields, check the vCard specification.

• Checksum to prevent cross-site scripting (configure $conf['plugin']['vcard']['secret'] to some secret string)
• UTF8 encoding of extended characters seems to work (tested with Mac OS X Address Book)
