Bump.

Hello,

I have the same problem, i can't find a way to make it works.

Does the situation have changed ? Or another trick ?

Regards.

vCard Photo Stored in Database, but other vCard data retrieved f

Thanks for the information and the possible workaround. We are not using custom clients in our situation though. Another workaround I might put in place here is simply a script that will copy information from ldap into the vcard table in MySQL when a user is created (or just periodically) and then simply use mod_vcard_odbc for everything.

Is it possible to use both mod_vcard_ldap and mod_vcard_odbc storing photos in the database and other information in LDAP?

Not possible.

I don't know if this helps, but there's a dirty workaround:
1. {modules, ...} without any mod_vcard
2. {host_config, "example.org", ... and add mod_vcard_ldap here (check in the Guide for the example "Add some modules to vhost one")
3. {host_config, "dumb.example.org", ... and add mod_vcard_odbc here
4. Add "dumb.example.org" to the option {hosts, [...]}
5. If your users use a custom client, you can modify it to request nicknames to vcard.example.org, and request photos to vcard.dumb.example.org
