Creating a QR Code for a vCard and a Telephone Extension

[mclisa81]

Hi,

I'm wondering how to handle adding a telephone extension. I realize my code below isn't correct because it dials the whole number, including the extension. I saw a vCard that had the extension in the notes but can't find one that has the extension with the telephone number. Would that be the only way to accomplish this? My rule is below and I will upload my collected files. 

// vCard format
// http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard
// Note that support for vCard may be more limited than for MECARD,
// and that vCard requires more data to be encoded, resulting in a denser barcode.

var info = {
   N: Field("Employee Name") + ';;;;' + Field("Suffix"),
   FN: Field("Employee Name") + ' ' + Field("Suffix"),
   ORG: Field("Title 2"),
   TITLE: Field("Title 1"),
   "EMAIL;type=INTERNET;type=WORK": Field("Email"),
   "TEL;type=Cell": Field("Cell"),
   "TEL;type=Work1": Field("Work1") + ' ' + Field("Extension"),
   "TEL;type=Work2": Field("Work2"),
   "ADR;type=WORK": ";;" + Field("Address 1") + ';' + Field("City") + ';' + Field("State") + ';'
                           + Field("ZIP"),
}

var result = ["BEGIN:VCARD", "VERSION:3.0"];
for (var label in info)
{
   if (info[label])
       result.push(label + ":" + info[label]);
}
result.push("END:VCARD");

return MakeQRBarcodeGraphic(result.join(Chr(13) + Chr(10)));

One additional question. When I scan the QR Code using my iphone camera, it puts the email under the name at the top, which is incorrect. But when I add it as a contact and view it, the titles are under the name, as they should be. Is this just a glitch or can that be fixed somehow?

Thank you in advance

Lisa

I've run into this same issue. I don't think phone extensions are part of the vCard spec. Putting it under NOTE: or omitting it entirely, depending on the client, is how I've handled it.

This is an easy to read resource for all the other options available: https://www.evenx.com/vcard-3-0-format-specification

There are more under the version 4.0 spec but I'm not sure how widely adopted that is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard

Thanks for that information! I think putting it under NOTE is the way to go.
