Multiple types for telephone about vobject HOT 17 CLOSED

My solution is currently this:

        $types = array();
        foreach ($tel->parameters as $param) {
            if ($param->name == 'TYPE') {
                $types[] = $param->value;
            }

        }

Bit scrappy but seems to work.

Hi!

This looks like a valid way to do this. Another way would be:

    $types = array();
    if (isset($tel['TYPE'])) {
       foreach($tel['TYPE'] as $type) {
          $types[] = (string)$type;
       }
    }

Closing this, just comment here if you have any other questions.

Thanks.

How do you go about accessing groups and then adding groups?

Trying to support the X-ABLabel, can't seem to find much reference anywhere.

from vobject.

Properties in a specific group will be fetched the same way as regular properties. There's one issue though:

$obj->group.TEL

Is not valid, so you use this instead:

$obj->{'group.TEL'}

from vobject.

How would you subsequently write those back?

E.g.

item1.TEL:9999999999
item1.X-ABLabel:new type

Presumably you could have:

item2.TEL etc

Is it item1 that's the group or TEL with a property of X-ABLabel?

thanks for your help.

Hi Tom,

Whatever is before the . is the group. Apple addressbook which properties belong together (TEL, X-ABLabel) based on this group. Does that make sense?

from vobject.

Kind of :)

I can't quite yet work out how I read that property of the TEL and how I use add method to put it back in.

Still, all good fun!

from vobject.

To update something, it's just:

$vcard->{'item1.TEL'} = 'new phone number';

from vobject.

Cool thanks, I've managed to read them out now fine.

Do I have to handle the numbering of item1, 2 etc or can I do it through using:

\Sabre\VObject\Component::create('vcard');

With add method and serialize?

No you are responsible for numbering. It's kind of an OS X addressbook-specific feature, so it didn't make sense in a generic library.

from vobject.

Thanks for all your help. Yeah that makes sense.

from vobject.

Since the subject opened here: I've been trying to figure if there is a way to query if there are any groups in a vobject/vcard and how to get a list of them? It's not very handy to have to test for item1 to itemN ;) This is possibly so obvious that I have missed it.

from vobject.

In that case the only way is to just loop through them, and check the ->group property.

from vobject.

Ah, ->group is a property. I had missed that. I thought you used it as an example only, but looking at the source of course it's there
