Are you linking to the page containing the vCard snippet with the ID of the person whose card you want to display?
e.g.
/path/to/vcard?person=5
Thanks for replying so quickly
! I’m just linking to the vcard from a template:<a href="[~60~]">Download vCard</a></li>
Do I need to attach ?person= to this, e.g. <a href="[~60~]?person=10">Download vCard</a></li> ? (I tried this but got a 404 error but my syntax may be incorrect).]]>

I am currently trying to use it for a new MODx (Evolution) site, and while it generates the vCard fine it’s not filling the fields with the template variables I’ve assigned.
I’ve created a new page in the menu structure called ’vCard template’ which contains the following code:
[[vCard? &name=`*full-name*` &email=`*contact*` &organisation=`Camerons Accountants and Advisors` &address_street=`` &address_region=`Tasmania` &address_city=`*office*` &postcode=`` &url=`http://www.camerons-ca.com.au/` &urlParam=`person` ]]
Then on each staff profile page I’ve included a link to this page ID. When clicked it generates an eCard in Outlook but none of the dynamic fields are populated (only those which are hard-coded, e.g. the url, show up).
I thought this may have something to do with the &urlParam=`person` value? I tried to figure this out by reading the documentation, specifically "...tell the snippet which member of staff we wanted a vCard for by supplying their doc ID as a URL paramater called "person".", but couldn’t work it out sorry.
Any help you can give me would be very gratefully received! And thanks again for providing this snippet
Thanks
Harmony

I’ve made a couple of very minor changes, necessary to allow me to use TVs on the current document without having to specify the doc ID.
Currently, your code A) sets the id to false if a non numerical urlParam is provided and B) requires the id in order to look for the * characters that indicate a TV is to be sourced.
There’s no need for B because MODx will default to using the current document id if it’s false and I think the preventing A results in behaviour that’s least surprising (in that one bad param won’t alter another good one).
