Export VCP mobile as 'mobile'
February 08, 2010, 03:14:34 pm
CiviCRM is exports mobile numbers as HOME. It would be great if they could be exported as CELL.

Output of contact Bob Testmobile from the demo site:

Code: [Select]
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
FN:Bob Testmobile
N:Testmobile;Bob;;;
TEL;TYPE=HOME,PREF:043864848
TEL;TYPE=HOME:0212181800
EMAIL;TYPE=HOME,PREF:bobtestmobile@spam.com
END:VCARD

The mobile number needs to be exported as CELL to be imported into the Mobile field in Outlook etc.

TEL;TYPE=HOME,CELL:(404) 555-1212
or
TEL;TYPE=CELL:(404) 555-1212

I'd love to, but I don't have the necessary skills, not being a developer. My coding skills begin and end with HTML and CSS. :(

if this is important to your org, consider hiring a developer to do so. i dont think its a big fix. 3-10 hours or so if i had to guess.
