There was an example of the offending line in the first comment, but I'm now attaching the entire vCard to provide for a test case.

Okay - how about attaching an example at least?

Nope. I wish I did. I did enough research to figure out a hack (stripping off property group names) but that is hardly an acceptable solution. Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough with the vCard code to be able to construct a good solution.

While attempting to import contacts exported from Apple's Address Book I found a limitation of the vCard processing code. vCard allows for single attributes to have multiple values: for example several email addresses or multiple street addresses. This mechanism may be accomplished using vCard Property Groups. The way to signify this is to use a prefix on the field name such as "item1.", followed by "item2.", etc. Horde Framework and Turba both expect all fields to be only named for their field (such as "ADR" for address) and so miss these fields with a prefix. The symptom is that fields with a prefix get ignored. Here is an example vCard snippet: item1.ADR;type=HOME;type=pref:;;Attn\: Sharon Braunstein\nP.O. Box 5396;Atlanta;GA;31107; I found at least two places where this needs to be modified: framework/iCalendar/iCalendar.php turba/lib/Driver.php From what I can tell Turba will not be able to store multiple attribute values, but we should be able to at least parse one of them to store. In this case the item1 address had a type of "HOME" and the item2 had a type of "WORK" which can map safely into Turba.
