Purpose of the software is the converting of contact data from AVM FRITZ!Box phonebook (XML) into XML phonebook formats of various IP phone devices.

This is a spin-off from carddav2fb! You will also find this functionality there as the final part of a comprehensive program for loading CardDAV data (vCards) into the FRITZ!Box as phonebook.

• The conversion takes place with XSL transformation. The XML of the FRITZ! Box is converted into the XML target format on the basis of the respective XSL file
• If necessary or possible, the name chain is divided into first name and surname. The prerequisite is the assumption that a comma with a space separates matrix of [last name], [first name]. If no ", " is found in the string, the name chain is used as the organization or surname (depending on the target format)
• specify an entry in ipPhonebooks if the phone book is to be stored in your desired format (XML). There are currently five transformation templates stored in the /lib/ directory:
  • Cisco
  • Grandstream
  • jFritz (not a phone but similar XML structure)
  • snom
  • Yealink (two different xsl transformations)

• PHP >7.3 or 8.0 (incl. gd, soap, xsl)
• Composer (follow the installation guide at https://getcomposer.org/download/)

Install fbcontactconv:

git clone https://github.com/blacksenator/fbcontactconv.git
cd fbcontactconv
composer install --no-dev

Install composer (see https://getcomposer.org/download/ for newer instructions):

composer install --no-dev --no-suggest

Edit config.example.php and save as config.php or use an other name of your choice (but than keep in mind to use the -c option to define your renamed file)

./fbcontactconv list

./fbcontactconv run

./fbcontactconv run -h

You can transform FRITZ!Box phonebook into different XML formats:

• Cisco
• Grandstream
• jFritz
• snom
• Yealink

The transformation takes place using XSL files. You can adapt the existing files or add more of your own.

You need to activate XSL module

extension=xsl
