Help:VCard format

The result format vcard, part of, is used to produce links for downloading data from a wiki in vCard format. It is a special format for data export as explained in Help:Inline queries, and therefore properties must use known labels to specify how the wiki data relates to the vCard format. {{#if: {{#smwdoc:vcard}} |

Parameters
}} Starting with version 3.1.0 this result format provides the new " " parameter that allows to set a specific name for the output file which defaults to "vCard.vcf".CiteRef::gh:srf:513

Data fields
Properties in printout statements should use one of the following labels, or otherwise are ignored in the resulting vCard. The available fields are: Most fields including the phone numbers have no special format and will take whatever you give them.
 * (displayed full name)
 * (something like "Dr.")
 * (something like "Jr.")
 * (middle name)
 * (a date)
 * (any other text)
 * (a date)
 * (any other text)
 * (any other text)

Example
This would display a link to download the vCard. The example shows that you have to label the queried properties in case they do not correspond to the name of the data fields mentioned below, e.g property "mail" has to be labeled with "email".

Note
Lists of vCards work very well on most address book tools with the notable exception of MS Outlook. Outlook users can only import the first contact in each vCard file, and must therefore import contacts individually from many links, or consider moving to another tool for personal information management, such as Thunderbird. Outlook also is reported to fail at character decoding in some cases, e.g. if names use non-latin encoding.
