How to get the user's image/avatar in the vcard download?

When you download a user's vcard from SBS 3.x you get most of their profile information which is great, but you don't get their picture.  What do we need to change to get the picture, or Avatar if that's all they have, added to the vcard download?

 

Thanks!

Hey Craig,

 

What you want to do is write a plugin that will add the picture to the vcard download stuff.  We have some great documentation on writing plugins in general, some of which I've included here:

Building Plugins

Developer Community

SBS 3.0 Documentation

 

What you're probably gonna have to do is change the /template/global/view-profile-vcard.ftl file, which you can do through the admin console > system > settings > themes.  You can then add the line for a photo using the vcard photo syntax.  I found an example of this syntax for you, it looks like so:

PHOTO;VALUE=URL;TYPE=GIF:http://www.abc.com/dir_photos/my_photo.gif

Just get the url for the user's avatar or photo, and that should be it.  Let me know if you have any other questions.

 

Thanks,

Kevin
