I've added the vcard field to the identities table (type text), but that did not fix it. Where can I look in the code to debug this? I've made a few modifications so as to have "global" contacts that come up in the autocomplete feature---this affects SQL statements looking up records from the contact table so that the WHERE statement is " user_id in (0,?) " and the ? gets filled automatically.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
