| QString Kopete::MetaContact::addressBookField | ( | Kopete::Plugin * | p, | |

Get or set a field for the KDE address book backend.
Fields not registered during the call to Plugin::addressBookFields() cannot be altered!
- Parameters:
-
p The Plugin by which uses this field app refers to the application id in the libkabc database. This should be a standardized format to make sense in the address book in the first place - if you could use "" as application then probably you should use the plugin data API instead of the address book fields. key The name of the address book field to get or set
- Todo:
- : In the code the requirement that fields are registered first is already lifted, but the API needs some review before we can remove it here too. Probably it requires once more some rewrites to get it working properly :( - Martijn
