A customer asked via email, "Why won't my custom details template show up when your google_axresult_template is active for vCards?"

In order for the templates to be self-installable, they have to all of the possible templates available in the zip file. That means that even though the details display has no special code for the Google Mapping, we have to deliver one anyway. It is here:

/components/com_sobi2/templates/google_axresult_template/sobi2.details.tmpl.php

So, to have a custom details view template, you would do one off two things. Either modify that template to suit your needs, or take your existing custom template and move it into that folder and overlay the 'default' one we deliver.

Either way works! Our initial preference was to deliver just a vCard template, but that would require FTP to upload it as it would not install via the installer. So, this was the way we choose to go.

Thanks,

Glen
