There is a gmane group for bbdb: gmane.emacs.bbdb.user That seems to be where most of the discussion goes on. > * Question 2: > > How to create BBDB field like ~phone~ which has different types label, and can > have many values separated with comma? > > Or can I just register a new field in BBDB init file like custom new filed ? I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but you can just create arbitrary new fields, and each one has its own label. This won't create a *single* type with multiple labels, just multiple types, each with its own label (not sure there's a difference). You can use commas or semi-colons as separators, by default -- see `bbdb-default-separator' > * Question 3: > > How to show contact avatar in BBDBv3? > > I know it seems about x-fields or somethings else, But I still don't know how to > setup it after did some Google search, and a little BBDB source code dive in (I > only know a little about Emacs Lisp). > > Please show me an detail steps to tell me how to setup this. Thanks very much. I haven't ever done this before, but look at the docstrings for `bbdb-image', `bbdb-image-path', and `bbdb-image-suffixes'. It looks like you set `bbdb-image-path' to the directory where you're going to keep images, and then put images in there. Then set `bbdb-image' either to the symbol name of an xfield that holds each contact's image file name, or else name/lf-name/fl-name if you want to use the contact's name as a filename. Or a function that returns the image name from the contact. Anyway, take a look at those docstrings, give it a shot, and report problems back to the bbdb group.
