I hope it’s ok if I add something to this 1.5 yr old thread. I would be very interested in that feature. For me this would not have to be configurable, simply adding the phone number and maybe the email address would be more than perfect. The way it is right now is that the popout is basicaly empty, showing only the avatar and a description.
I understand that this feature request is low priority and you guys have probably more important stuff to do but I am simply no coder so I couldn’t add this even if my life depended on it, let alone build the binaries.
So what do I have to do to convince you to add some more info to the popout? Heck I’ll even donate a little something to the project or an item from a developers Amazon wishlist.
I have added a work phone number to that popup (right after the job title). Of course, to see a number of a contact, that contact has to put his number into his profile and then his vcard profile info has to update on your end. It updates after a few chat window reopening with that contact (or maybe on some timer as well, i don’t know). You can also go into contact’s full profile and press Refresh.
I haven’t added email as this popup is already getting too crowdy (avatar, nickname, status, idle state, title, phone, JID) and email is usually obvious already (like name@company.com) or even same as JID.
You can try this change in the latest nightly build (704) Ignite Realtime: Spark Nightly Builds
This change will be included in 2.7.3 version, when it will be released.
