Android CardDAV client
by Johan Vromans 03 Jan '14

Hi, I've got a DAViCal server with calendars and contacts. On my Android tablet, I run CalDAVsync and CardDAVsync (paid versions). For the calendars, I use Business Calendar and it works fine. For the contacts, the built-in Android app is too limited, so I'm looking for a better contacts app, much like the contacts app on iDevices. Browsing the app store I see many contacts apps, mostly concentrating on making phone calls, which is not my concern. Can you suggest a good contacts manager for Android, one that plays along nicely with the DAViCal server? Thanks, -- Johan http://johan.vromans.org/seasons_greetings.html

404 error when using radicale and CalDavZAP together [SOLVED]
by Ploc 28 Dec '13

Hello everyone, If you're trying to use CalDavZAP on the (web) client side, and radicale on the server side, you might have encountered a 404 error on CalDavZAP web console. I've been stuck on this problem an entire evening and I finally found the error. Don't forget to enable CORS (cross-origin resource sharing : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing ) on the radicale configuration so that CalDavZAP can access the radicale resources even if they are not available on the same domain. This is simply done by adding the following configuration at the end of the radicale configuration file : extract from /etc/radicale/config : [...] # Additional HTTP headers [headers] Access-Control-Allow-Origin = * Access-Control-Allow-Methods = GET, POST, OPTIONS, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, REPORT, PUT, MOVE, DELETE, LOCK, UNLOCK, HEAD, MKCALENDAR, MKCOL Access-Control-Allow-Headers = User-Agent, Authorization, Content-type, Depth, If-match, If-None-Match, Lock-Token, Timeout, Destination, Overwrite, X-client, X-Requested-With Access-Control-Expose-Headers = Etag [...] You can also restrict "*" to a more resrtictive list of domains. Hope this helps... (this message does not intend to start a discussion, but is only there for list-archiving purproses)

CardDAVmate: vCard not conformant
by Johan Vromans 03 Dec '13

03 Dec '13

Hi, After migrating DAViCal to another server, I keep getting a 'vCard is not conformant to RFC 2426' error on every entry in my addresses database. New entries initially appear correctly, but after a short while (30 secs?) the entry on the screen is replaced with the same non-conformant error message. Any ideas what can cause this? I copied (via SQL export / import) the database from the old server to the new server so the contents is the same. A difference in software versions (apache, php, davical, postgresql)? CalDAVzap is working fine in the same setup. -- Johan

CalDAVzap: Default calendar
by Johan Vromans 02 Dec '13

02 Dec '13

I use CalDAVzap with a list of calendars. In my config.js, I have: var globalCalendarSelected='jv/default/'; So I expect this calendar to be selected by default. However, CalDAVzap still selects the first available calendar instead. This happens with FireFox and Chrome. Do I misunderstand the purpose of globalCalendarSelected? -- Johan
