Rails - Dec 2011 - I can't generate a single vcard file with multiple contacts using vpim

Hi,

I want to generate a single .vcf file with several contacts, but I
can''t
because vpim generates it like a unique contact .vcf with other users
data.

This is my code for generate a single contact vcard and works fine:

def get_card

    contact = User.find(params[:id])
    card = Vpim::Vcard::Maker.make2 do |maker|

      maker.add_name do |name|
        name.given = contact.user_info.name
      end

      maker.add_addr do |addr|
        addr.location = ''home''
        addr.street = contact.user_info.address_street
        addr.locality = contact.user_info.address_city
        addr.region = contact.user_info.address_state
        addr.postalcode = contact.user_info.address_postalcode
      end

      if !contact.user_info.telephone.empty?
        maker.add_tel(contact.user_info.telephone) do |tel|
          tel.location = ''home''
          tel.preferred = true
        end
      end

      if !contact.user_info.fax.empty?
        maker.add_tel(contact.user_info.fax) do |tel|
          tel.location = ''home''
          tel.capability = ''fax''
        end
      end

      maker.add_email(contact.email) do |e|
        e.location = ''home''
      end
    end

    send_data card.to_s, :filename => contact.user_info.name +
".vcf"
  end

And this is my method for a single vcard file with multiple contacts:

def get_list_cards
    ids = params[:ids]
    contact_list = []
    card = Vpim::Vcard::Maker.make2 do |maker|
    ids.each do |id|
      contact_list.push(User.find(id))
    end
    contact_list.each do |contact|
        #I need to introduce BEGIN:VCARD tag to separate contacts
        maker.add_name do |name|
          name.given = contact.user_info.name
        end

        maker.add_addr do |addr|
          addr.location = ''home''
          addr.street = contact.user_info.address_street
          addr.locality = contact.user_info.address_city
          addr.region = contact.user_info.address_state
          addr.postalcode = contact.user_info.address_postalcode
        end

        if !contact.user_info.telephone.empty?
          maker.add_tel(contact.user_info.telephone) do |tel|
            tel.location = ''home''
            tel.preferred = true
          end
        end

        if !contact.user_info.fax.empty?
          maker.add_tel(contact.user_info.fax) do |tel|
            tel.location = ''home''
            tel.capability = ''fax''
          end
        end

        maker.add_email(contact.email) do |e|
          e.location = ''home''
        end
      end
      #I need to introduce END:VCARD tag to separate contacts
    end
    send_data card.to_s, :filename => params[:name]+".vcf"
  end

It works but not well, it generates .vcf file but with a single N:; tag.
I need to add as N:; tags as user names and i need to split each contact
with BEGIN:VCARD and END:VCARD. I don''t know how to do it.
