Vpim talk - Jun 2009 - Multiple Phones/Emails

I am new to vpim. Using Vpim::Vcard::Maker to create and export vcards  
from my app. That''s all great except I''m unable to get vpim to
export
all the phones (and/or emails) associated with a person''s record. I  
would expect to be able to iterate over a collection of phones, for  
example, and do maker#add_tel for each of them... but that doesn''t  
seem to work.

This doesn''t work...

card = Vpim::Vcard::Maker#make2 do |maker|
...
	collection_of_phones#each do |phone|
		maker#add_tel(phone#number) do |tel|
		...
		end
	end
...
end

What am I missing? Thanks for your help.

I can''t help you without runnable code. A cut-n-paste from deep in
your rails app isn''t so useful.

Anyhow, I wrote a unit test based on your code, and it works fine.

Produce a __runnable, standalone__ example, the exercise might show
you what the problem is, and if not, you would have something you
could send to me.
