How's that going? We should coordinate our efforts to avoid overlap. The two bugs cover the basic import/export of vCards for the trunk. http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20304 http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79709 Scott recently landed some vCard support on the trunk, see http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14373 (Note, the UI changes for that have not been ported over to Thunderbird. See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221319) The changes needed for vCard import and export will be to the addressbook and vCard code (now both in mozilla/mailnews/addrbook/src), and to the import wizard (mozilla/mailnews/import), and to the addressbook UI (mozilla/mailnews/addrbook/resources for the mozilla suite, and somewhere else for Thunderbird.) Luckily, now that #14373 has landed, both import and export should be pretty straightforward. -Seth From vcard at mozdev.org Mon Oct 6 22:44:50 2003 From: vcard at mozdev.org (vcard@mozdev.org) Date: Mon Oct 6 21:51:49 2003 Subject: [vCard] Re: vCard import / export In-Reply-To: <3F818FE5.1000507@sspitzer.org> References: <3F818FE5.1000507@sspitzer.org> Message-ID: <3F821A92.40502@rogers.com> Hi Seth, Y'know, I dunno why, but I never even bothered to check Bugzilla to see if there were any open bugs regarding the lack of vCard support in MailNews or Thunderbird. After checking out Bug 14373 though, I'm wondering what the purpose of my project is anymore? :) Just to let you know, I'm no hardcore hacker, but I've worked my way into using XUL/JS/XPCOM to do some cool stuff... and I just thought I'd give the vCard thing a try. It was actually more of a challenge to myself. Actually I had the vCard exporting working 100% at one point, but I had an accident on my pc and the files were deleted... *sigh*... lost a few days of work in that. I had implemented the vCard export an extra menuitem in the TBird "Tools" menu, and was working to add a hook into the card view itself to export. I actually have redone the UI hooks even better... still a menuitem under "Tools", but it's now a menu group titled "vCard Tools..." that gives options to Export, Import, and whatever else i can think of. I also have a button instance on the Card Display that when clicked will bring up an export dialog... it exports the currently displayed card to vCard format. Btw, nothing is completly implemented yet, except the GUI hooks due to a tight work related schedule. I hope to ramp up development over the next week or two though. Let me know though if my project is worth pursuing, or if I can contribute to your bugs in any way. Thanks :) Sohail Mirza Owner, vCard Project On 06/10/2003 11:53 AM, Seth Spitzer wrote: > Sohail, > > I recently stumbled onto http://vcard.mozdev.org/ > > I see you have plans to add vCard import and export support to > Thunderbird. > > How's that going?

I'm trying to get it all together for a 0.1 release, but I've just been soooo busy. I'm afraid the project will probably run into an inactive state before I get the extension together. I know of some of the bugs filed in Bugzilla... Seth Spitzer was kind enough to link me to some of the ones relevant to this project. However, those bugs don't really affect the scope of my extension just yet. There's still no import/export functionality in Thunderbird or MailNews. Sohail
