Description

Hello,
I implement that plugin. Not very easy but very cool tool !

I face a difficulty.
In case of simple VCARD field like MAIL no issue.
In case of more complex field such as TEL or ADR, I don't see how I can't stick to VCARD format using coma as separator...

for ADR:
Using Dolibarr, my LDAP is filled up for address with multiple fields

  • street
  • postalcode
  • L (city)

So that, it would be logical for me to have a mapping looking like:
ADR;TYPE=WORK:;;street;L;;postalcode;

Is there a workaround for that issue ?

For TEL,
it is slightly different.
You set up an aproach like "TEL:telephonenumber,mobile"
This does not help to fill TYPE.
It would be interesting to have
TEL;TYPE=CELL:mobile <-- this is working
but
TEL;TYPE=WORK,VOICE:telephonenumber <-- this is not working probably because of coma between work and voice (not 100% sure)

Would it be possible to tweak a bit your code to solve that 2 issues ?
Many thanks
