SMS share-plugin for nemotransferengine-qt5. Supports sharing mime-types "text/vcard" ie. contacts and "text/x-url" is. Links.

Please note after updating a device reboot or a display system restart required.

The plugin supports 3 sending modes of the contacts:

  • Short plaintext: only the contact name and it's phone numbers will be generated
  • Full plaintext: all contact details will be added
  • SmartMessaging vCard: this is a special format developed originally by Nokia. Old Nokia feature phones, and Sailfish OS supports it: the sent data could be imported on the receiver side as a simple vCard. Android known to be ignoring this method, iOS support is unknown.

Source code can be found here:

https://github.com/martonmiklos/harbour-sms-share-plugin

Translations:

The plugin serialization backend uses the strings of the contacts app. (sailfish-components-contacts-qt5 on the Pootle) If any of the placeholders in the generated SMS are incorrct head to the Pootle.

The UI strings could be translated, feel free to open up a Github PR or Issue.

Bug reporting:

Open up a terminal.

set LANG=<locale code>

start jolla-contacts

Share the vCard data from the command line output, and the resulted SMS text in a Github Issue. (Feel free to mangle personal details, the vCard keys are the most important.)

This useful plug in is working no more on Sailfish 4 :( Will it be back any time soon, please?

martonmiklos's picture

Sorry dude it took so long time, but it should be working now with 1.0.9.

Side note: I had to move the plugin to the /usr/share/nemo-transferengine to being able to be used in sandboxed apps.

How to do pkcon refresh? I m using Intex Aqua Fish.

Markkyboy's picture

You need to activate Developer Mode from Settings, once activated, you can then open the Terminal application, in the terminal you then type `devel-su pkcon refresh` (enter password you set in developer mode here)

Marold's picture

That looks brilliant, could You make direct option for forwarding sms on longpress as well ? That would be a blast. Thank You for Your work. Best regards

martonmiklos's picture

Where would you request this longpress?

 

sumitpur's picture

I am unable to install. It says " Nothing provides libnemotransferengine-qt5>=0.3.1 needed by harbour-sms-share-plugin-1.0.3.armv7hl " . Please help. I really require this. If possiable develop a search facility in the SMS so we can retaive a SMS. Thanks in advance.

Marold's picture

Flash sms?

Thaodan's picture

Doesn't Android support sharing contacts via sms too?

PawelSpoon's picture

and dalvik has to run in order to be working.

this works without dalvik which is great !

martonmiklos's picture

Android does supports sharing SMS (via plaintext), but does not supports receiving (and importing) vCards sent in SmartMessage format.
