Subject: Request necessary vcard information

Hello all,

I need set more than photo to vcard and I work around with this problem by set data to some unused fields in vcard.
So Could I get necessary fields for a session requesting a vcard? Because it will payload if I receive all data for every request.

Best regards,

Alex

Hello Alex,

In vcard xml below the <ROLE> tag is not use in my case then I would like to set it with large of data.
Because its large of data, will payload when client request all vcard from a request, so on client side can I query only <ROLE> tag data?

I know VCard is not served for this purpose. My purpose is publish mass of data and sharing them with his/her rosters.

<vCard xmlns="vcard-temp">
    <EMAIL>
   <INTERNET/>
   <PREF/><USERID>test@xmpp01</USERID>
    </EMAIL>
    <URL/>
    <TITLE/>
    <BDAY>0001-01-01</BDAY>
    <ROLE>large of data</ROLE>
    <DESC/>
    <FN/>
    <NICKNAME/>
    <PHOTO>
      <TYPE>image/png</TYPE>
      <BINVAL>Base64 Data in here</BINVAL>
    </PHOTO>
</vCard>

And other question: from xep0054 I can see a lot of vcard elements such as:
   MAILER?,
TZ?,
GEO?,
TITLE?,
ROLE?,
LOGO?,
AGENT?,
ORG?,
NOTE?,
PRODID?,
REV?,
SORT-STRING?,
SOUND?,
UID?,
URL?,
CLASS?,
KEY?,

How can I add these elements to VCard?

Best regards,

Alex

this is not a good idea and violates the XEP and Vcard RFC.
You can write your own extension to share other data over XMPP or use PubSub and PEP.

Thank you Alex.

Yes, this is temporary solution. :-)

Follow XEP-0054 vcard-temp, these elements:
MAILER?,
TZ?,
GEO?,
TITLE?,
ROLE?,
LOGO?,
AGENT?,
ORG?,
NOTE?,
PRODID?,
REV?,
SORT-STRING?,
SOUND?,
UID?,
URL?,
CLASS?,
KEY?,

They have not implemented on VCard yet. How about it?

Sincerely yours,

Alex

There are not all vcard fields implemented, only the most common fields.
You can parse all other fields you need with the xml functions, or extend the vcard classes.
