Adding location to a contact

[kaveiros]

Hi , thank you for this wonderful library!! I want to add location when I create a contact. Is this achievable ? Do you know the appropriate rel attribute and gd: element that are needed in order to do so?

Thank you in advance.

I don't know if I'm doing it correctly or not, but this seems to work for me. Just ensure $postalAddress is passed into create()

$address = $doc->createElement('gd:postalAddress', $postalAddress); $address->setAttribute('rel', 'http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#work'); $entry->appendChild($address);

@Tyxiquale is right. I believe that should do the trick.

To add entire address use the following code

         $address = $doc->createElement('gd:structuredPostalAddress');
          $address->setAttribute('rel','http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#work');
          $city = $doc->createElement('gd:city',$city);
          $address->appendChild($city);
          $street = $doc->createElement('gd:street',$street);
          $address->appendChild($street);
          $region = $doc->createElement('gd:region',$region);
          $address->appendChild($region);
          $postcode = $doc->createElement('gd:postcode',$post_code);
          $address->appendChild($postcode);
          $country = $doc->createElement('gd:country',$country);
          $address->appendChild($country);
          $entry->appendChild($address);

By using the default fields the function is working fine. But by adding the above code I get exception.

exception 'Google_Auth_Exception' with message 'Error refreshing the OAuth2 token, message: '{ "error" : "invalid_client", "error_description" : "The OAuth client was not found." }'

Here is the function so far

public static function create($name, $phoneNumber, $emailAddress, $city, $street, $region, $post_code, $country, $accessToken, $refreshToken, $clientId, $clientSecret) { $doc = new \DOMDocument(); $doc->formatOutput = true; $entry = $doc->createElement('atom:entry'); $entry->setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/', 'xmlns:atom', 'http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'); $entry->setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/', 'xmlns:gd', 'http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'); $entry->setAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/', 'xmlns:gd', 'http://schemas.google.com/g/2005'); $doc->appendChild($entry);

    $title = $doc->createElement('title', $name);
    $entry->appendChild($title);

    $email = $doc->createElement('gd:email');
    $email->setAttribute('rel', 'http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#work');
    $email->setAttribute('address', $emailAddress);
    $entry->appendChild($email);

    $contact = $doc->createElement('gd:phoneNumber', $phoneNumber);
    $contact->setAttribute('rel', 'http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#work');
    $entry->appendChild($contact);

    //Additional fields
    $address = $doc->createElement('gd:structuredPostalAddress');
    $address->setAttribute('rel','http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#work');
    $city = $doc->createElement('gd:city',$city);
    $address->appendChild($city);
    $street = $doc->createElement('gd:street',$street);
    $address->appendChild($street);
    $region = $doc->createElement('gd:region',$region);
    $address->appendChild($region);
    $postcode = $doc->createElement('gd:postcode',$post_code);
    $address->appendChild($postcode);
    $country = $doc->createElement('gd:country',$country);
    $address->appendChild($country);
    $entry->appendChild($address);

    $xmlToSend = $doc->saveXML();

    $client = GoogleHelper::getClient($accessToken, $refreshToken, $clientId, $clientSecret);

    $req = new \Google_Http_Request('https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full');
    $req->setRequestHeaders(array('content-type' => 'application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8; type=feed'));
    $req->setRequestMethod('POST');
    $req->setPostBody($xmlToSend);

    $val = $client->getAuth()->authenticatedRequest($req);

    $response = $val->getResponseBody();

    $xmlContact = simplexml_load_string($response);
    $xmlContact->registerXPathNamespace('gd', 'http://schemas.google.com/g/2005');

    $xmlContactsEntry = $xmlContact;

    $contactDetails = array();

    $contactDetails['id'] = (string) $xmlContactsEntry->id;
    $contactDetails['name'] = (string) $xmlContactsEntry->title;

    foreach ($xmlContactsEntry->children() as $key => $value) {
        $attributes = $value->attributes();

        if ($key == 'link') {
            if ($attributes['rel'] == 'edit') {
                $contactDetails['editURL'] = (string) $attributes['href'];
            } elseif ($attributes['rel'] == 'self') {
                $contactDetails['selfURL'] = (string) $attributes['href'];
            }
        }
    }

    $contactGDNodes = $xmlContactsEntry->children('http://schemas.google.com/g/2005');

    foreach ($contactGDNodes as $key => $value) {
        $attributes = $value->attributes();

        if ($key == 'email') {
            $contactDetails[$key] = (string) $attributes['address'];
        } else {
            $contactDetails[$key] = (string) $value;
        }
    }

    return new Contact($contactDetails);
}

Any suggestions?

I would recommend trying out the PHP Google People API package which supports adding locations to contacts.
