Talk:VCard

This entire talk page is off topic and should be removed - anon...

I have a request for enhancement to the editors of the vCard and similar standards:

I know many people who have two cellular phone numbers: one business and one private. Many nations have more active cellular phones than inhabitants.

It is not possible to express this in vCard: there is HOME and WORK for phone numbers but just CELL for both cases of cellular phone numbers. So please introduce two types of cellular phone numbers.

(I don't require any intellectual properties for this idea, just do it, please ;-)

Gerd Castan

It's already part of the standard. There can be multiple 'type' parameters on a single 'type:value' statement, eg

tel;type=work,voice,msg:+1 313 747-4454

or

tel;type=work,voice,msg,cell:+1 234 456-8901

See RFC 2425, Section 8 Examples

.vcf, Virtual Card Format

Shouldn't we mention either in the " Redirected from .vcf " or in the vCard article that .vcf stands for Virtual Card Format ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by SvenAERTS (talk • contribs) 10:05, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Device pairing?

What's that? No explanation or link in the text. 86.136.250.200 00:26, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bluetooth#Pairing I just added the link. Good catch. Awg1010 (talk) 03:07, 31 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are my parents. Who put this there? Why? Please don't revert. I think it is supremely improper to put private information of unknown people on wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.24.141 (talk) 00:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have emailed the Oversight administrators on your behalf and FloNight deleted all the personal information from the history log. So it is no longer available even if someone looks at the edit history. (As a side note, we should include an example VCard with fake information.) Ariel. (talk) 00:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What vCard specification do the examples conform? The vCard 3.0 object MUST contain the FN, N and VERSION types [RFC 2426]. Some of these properties are also mandatory in vCard 2.1 ... but there may be another variant I'm not aware. (Rjgodoy 02:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC))[reply]

In addition, version 3.0 specifies CELL as a value for TYPE (as a TEL parameter). I will make all the changes at once if no one thinks different (anyway, the current examples give a clue about what a vCard is...) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rjgodoy (talk • contribs) 05:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Willem Vos from the example is a real person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.107.217.91 (talk)

If you think the example should refer to a fictional person, I do not oppose the change. The following example could be used instead:

BEGIN:VCARD
FN:Mr. John Q. Public\, Esq.
N:Public;John;Quinlan;Mr.;Esq.
VERSION:3.0
END:VCARD

(It is from the RFC itself)

vCards and wikiengine

What if wikiengine would be able to show vCards as html and make vCard reference link to entries that being showed. By pressing reference link contact information would then go into personal address book of "what ever is your organizer software". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sami Kerola (talk • contribs) 16:20, 17 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

programs

which programs besides outlook open vcard files? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.208.96.44 (talk) 19:54, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While by no means an exhaustive list, some programs that can open them are listed here at fileinfo.net. —lensovet–talk – 08:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

vCard Extensions

There have been a number of discussions in developer mailing lists about having a place to record vCard extensions that are in use - X- properties, so that reuse is possible. It might be better as a separate page. Dgc03052 (talk) 00:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Such record is part of the proposal for vCard 4.0 [1]. However, this mechanism is intended for properties in the VND- (vendor) namespace. On the other hand, names that begin with X- are reserved for experimental use and not intended for released products. Rjgodoy (talk) 03:11, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Full vCard 2.1 and/or 3.0 examples

Hi, I think it would make sense to bring a full example of a 2.1 or 3.0 vCard. Meaning valid and with all standard and maybe one or two X-* properties. --85.127.103.67 (talk) 18:00, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmmm. I thought a "V-card" was something entirely different. Oh well. Jack Meihoffer (talk) 01:06, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
