Description
I've set up the latest version of Vcard on a drupal 5.8 install. I've got everything working the way it's supposed to (i.e. User data shows up in vcard, including their phone number).
However, when opening/importing the vcard with Outlook 2003 the telephone number is not imported. According to http://microformats.org/wiki/vcard-implementations Outlook 2003 drops the telephone number on import if the Type is not specified (i.e. Business, Home, etc):
MSOutlook2k3 TEL
Drops TEL if TYPE is not explicitly specified.
TEL;TYPE=work: is changed to TEL;WORK;VOICE: I've added this to line 181 in my copy of the vcard module:
$vcard->addParam('TYPE', 'work');And that seems to work... but obviously that only works for a business contact site and becomes hardcoded into the site, if there were a way to select/change this in the vcard admin page that would be better.
