Re: vCards for Contact management

This WebDNA talk-list message is from

2004


It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 58449
interpreted = N
texte = I know. I'm just lazy enough to check to see if someone has done this already. It's a little involved because the file may contain image files as text fields, and has some other nesting like "Pref" appearing by one of multiple phone numbers indicating that it is preferred. I'd have to scrounge up the specs for cVard files. So the real issue becomes: is it easier to build admin pages to manage a contacts list in a site, or build a vCard extractor so that administrators need only export a vCard set to keep a site updated?
