I'm trying to find a tool that allows me to add site users to my address book. The vCard would do exactly what I want (probably) if I could just get it working. Unfortunately it is only developed to Drupal 4.7

http://drupal.org/project/vcard

Is there something else out there that works for Drupal 5.x? Other options?

I don't really want a tool to download ALL the users since I'll only want to download the ones who have recently signed up.

Thanks.

Stefan Auditor (the developer of Mobile Media Blog and other modules) has posted a patch to update vCard to D5.

Ok, I see the patch. Sorry for my ignorance, but what do I do with it?

EDIT: I found how to apply a patch (http://drupal.org/patch/apply), but I'm not strong enough in the cmd line to do it. Could someone just send the updated vCard module to me or make a link available?

Contact me via my contact form and I'll send you a copy.

I'm guessing wildly from looking at your website that you're using a Mac, so this is written with that assumption. Most of this should apply, though, even if you're using Linux or Windows (with Cygwin).

  1. Download the HEAD version of the vCard module and decompress it
  2. Download the patch from the issue queue and place it in the vcard folder
  3. Open the Terminal application in Applications -> Utilities
  4. Enter patch -p0 < /the/path/to/the/patch (or you can just type patch -p0 < and drag the patch to the Terminal window -- the path to the patch file will be inserted for you)
  5. The patch program will ask you where vcard.module is, so you can type in the path or drag the vcard.module to the Terminal window (and have Terminal insert the path for you)
  6. The patch program should say "patching file" and then exit. This patch writes a new vcard.info file to the vcard folder, as well.

Upload the whole vcard folder to your Drupal installation and enable it.
