Kontact vcf cards with OwnCloud

Thu Apr 06, 2017 10:50 am
Hello,

I'm having trouble using the Contacts functionality in Kontact. I'm using OwnCloud Cardav server in Kontact. But it seems that Kontact is using the vcf card differently to OwnCloud. The Addresses of my contacts are missing in Kontact but they show up in OwnCloud. I'm using also a mobile phone with OwnCloud as source where it works fine.

By reading wikipedia I found out that there are different standards for vcf cards. Could this be the problem in my case why the Address field is missing somehow?

Thank you

This is likely the difference. What Kontact version are you using?
(I see a similar behavior with my own Kolab server)

Thank you for your reply.

I'm using Kontact 5.4.3. I'm doing a lot of backups at the moment. Thought there would be kind of standard how to store the information.

There is a standard (vCard) but multiple versions of the same standard as far as I can see. I'm not sure which one is supported by Kontact (I think up to 4.1).
