cubicweb-person 1.8.0

person component for the CubicWeb framework

Summary

person provides person informations :

• firstname

• surname / lastname

• civility

• arbitrary text description

• a relation to an email address (NB, the EmailAddress entity is automatically provided by cubicweb).

If the addressbook cube is used, persons will also have phone and postal_address relations to store more contact information.

There is a special relation called ‘primary_email’. A person can be linked to multiple email addresses (using the ‘use_email’ relation). The primary email must be unique. At the creation of the first email, this relation is automatically added (though you can change it later, of course).

Recommends

• addressbook cube

Usage

In addition of basic entity views, this cube provides :

• VCardPersonView, displays a person in the VCard file format

  (.. _VCard on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard) .

  This view creates a file called vcard.vcf which can be open in your addressbook application (Kmail, Thunderbird and so on). In order to generate this file, you have to access to a specific view using an url address with ?vid=vcard suffix.

  How to personalize the person primary view in order to add a link for the vcard ?

   class PersonalizedPersonPrimaryView(PersonPrimaryView):
  
       def render_entity_attributes(self, entity):
           super(PersonalizedPersonPrimaryView, self).render_entity_attributes(entity)
           self.w(u'<div><a href="%s">export contact as vcard</a></div>'  % entity.absolute_url(vid='vcard'))
  
  This view will not be selected by default. You have to registered
