HowTo: Which attributes are used by Contacts app by default

hustenfrei · January 22, 2019, 12:07pm

Thats exactly what I wanted to do! And thanks for the RegEx tipps … this I have to learn first.

I assume also URL should have been replaced!?!?

You can yes, but it’s not mandatory.

If I can help… Are there any specific questions?

Btw, I don’t recommend to apply regular expressions to vCards (except for quick-and-dirty hacking). Things can break, for instance folding; and there are differences between vCard 3 and vCard 4 syntax. I’d always use a vCard parsing/generating library to modify vCards.

OMG: What is that?

ADR;TYPE=x-privat;LABEL=Wangen / Neuravensburg:;;;Wangen / Neurav
 ensburg;;;

There is no: in this entry!?!? What is LABEL ?

This search is not finding any of these lines with Notepad++, Reg-Search:

X-ABLABEL:Mobil
X-ABLABEL:Privat

What to do with that?

Yes there is after Neuravensburg

Remove the first part before the dot: URL;VALUE=URI:https://www.facebook.com/ti.ni.3114
You can drop the X-ABLABEL

It’s a proper value here. Though quite incomplete address

Same, you can cut before the dot: TEL:+49 162 7199998

No. Though if you don’t have a UID and import it, the contacts app will generate a new one for you.

You can keep it

hustenfrei · January 26, 2019, 11:34am

Thx a lot @skjnldsv! I already cleaned up my 3 address books with ~ 1.300 entries
I’m pretty sure that this HowTo will help lot of others.

Next question: Some entries are VCard 4.0 and have entries like this:

VERSION:4.0
PRODID:+//IDN bitfire.at//DAVdroid/1.10.1.1-gplay ez-vcard/0.10.3

Where do they come from?
They are working with Contacts. But why do you use VCard 3.0 as default?

skjnldsv · January 26, 2019, 11:50am

They come from davdroid.
We support both. We use vcard4 by default.

hustenfrei · January 26, 2019, 12:55pm

But entries created with Contacts always start with

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0

skjnldsv · March 2, 2019, 10:08am

The contacts app does create 4.0 vcards by default

				// check local storage for orderKey
			if (localStorage.getItem('orderKey')) {
				// run setOrder mutation with local storage key
				this.$store.commit('setOrder', localStorage.getItem('orderKey'))
			}
		})
	},


	methods: {
		async newContact() {
			let contact = new Contact(`BEGIN:VCARD\nVERSION:4.0\nPRODID:-//Nextcloud Contacts v${oca_contacts.versionstring}\nEND:VCARD`, this.defaultAddressbook)
			const properties = rfcProps.properties(this)
			contact.fullName = t('contacts', 'New contact')
			// itterate over all properties (filter is not usable on objects and we need the key of the property)
			for (let name in properties) {
				if (properties[name].default) {
					let defaultData = properties[name].defaultValue
					// add default field
					let property = contact.vCard.addPropertyWithValue(name, defaultData.value)
					// add default type
					if (defaultData.type) {

Would you please then also post the created VCF file?

Thanks
