Re: [Evolution-hackers] E-VCard API

[Chris Toshok <toshok ximian com>]

The way I described doing it (the code you're using below) will give you
a vcard that has the following attribute in it:

TEL;TYPE=X-GNOME-MEETING-SPEEDDIAL:55

so basically you do your loops to find the TYPE attribute param with
X-GNOME-MEETING-SPEEDDIAL for the value, and then you can call
e_vcard_attribute_get_value (since you know it's single valued - or
rather, since you only care about the first value.)

What Rodney was suggesting is something like this:

X-EVOLUTION-VIDEO-URL;X-GNOME-MEETING-SPEEDDIAL=55:callto://....

This might be how you want things tied together, I don't really know...
For this, you just loop over the EVCardAttributeParam's until you find
one named X-GNOME-MEETING-SPEEDDIAL, then the value of that parameter
(from e_vcard_attribute_param_get_values) is 55.
