Re: [O] phone links...

[Michael Strey]

FYI, I just posted the following mail to the MobileOrg mailing list.

,----
| Hello,
| 
| I'm using a contact data base inspired by org-contacts, where contact
| details are stored in the properties drawer.
| 
| First question: Are there any plans to show drawer content in the MobileOrg
| read view (not only in the edit view)?
| 
| The contact details contain phone numbers as well.  Recently we had some
| discussion about phone links in the Org-Mode mailing list.  This inspired
| me to make a little test with various forms of links and phone numbers.
| 
| I synchronised the following contact with MobileOrg.
| 
| #+BEGIN_SRC org
| ** Surname, Name
| :PROPERTIES:
| :EMAIL:    address@hidden; address@hidden
| :PHONE:    +493514129535; +491766626196
| :END:
| 
| Visible as link and working:
| [[tel:+493514129535][+49 (0)351 41295-35]]
| [[tel:+49 (351) 41295-35][+49 (0)351 41295-35]]
| 
| Visible as link but not working:
| [[phone:+493514129535][+49 (0)351 41295-35]]
| 
| Not recognized as links by MobileOrg:
| [[tel:+49 351 4129535]]
| [[tel:+493514129535]]
| [[phone:+49 351 4129535]]
| [[phone:+49 (351) 4129535]]
| [[phone:+493514129535]]
| 
| Not working:
| +493514129535
| +49 351 4129535
| +49 351 41295-35
| +49 (351) 4129535
| #+END_SRC
| 
| In MobileOrg some of the above links are displayed as links and some not.
| The links with the key "tel:" lead me to the phone application on my
| smartphone, those with the key "phone" don't.  Pure numbers sometimes lead
| to the phone app but only parts of the complete number are transmitted.
| 
| What is the reason for the tel: links working and the phone: links not?
| AFAIK non of them is supported yet by Org-Mode.
