Problem synching (Android)
by Johan Vromans 31 Jan '14

31 Jan '14

I'm running a DAViCal server with several clients (CalDAVzap, CalDAVSynch (Android) en iPad). Recently I needed to reschedule a number of appointments. I did this using CalDAVzap. The changes included things like replacing repeating appointments by non-repeating appointments, and the other way around. A short while after I completed the rescheduling the changes were synched to the iPads but the changes did not show on Android, despite several automatic and manual synchs. To be more precise, the removed entries were removed, but the replacement entries did not show up. As a last resort I removed the CalDAVSynch account (with all data) and re-established it. After the initial synch the Android calendar was okay. I'm aware that this kind of problems are very hard to find and solve. But is there anything I can do to help? -- Johan

Baikal on Synology: netFindResource code: 404
by Mathias Koerber 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

I installed Baikal (flat) on my Synology Diskstation, and I can access it find with a URL like https://mynas:8443/baikal/card.php/addressbooks/USERNAME/default Both baikal and carddavmate are installed under /volume1/web as simple subdirectories.. Then I added CardDavMate to the same install using this in config.js: var globalAccountSettings=[{href: 'https://mynas:8443/baikal/card.php/addressbooks/USERNAME/', hrefLabel: 'dav', crossDomain: null, forceReadOnly: null, withCredentials: false, showHeader: true, settingsAccount: true, checkContentType: true, userAuth: {userName: 'USERNAME', userPassword: 'PASSWORD'}, syncInterval: 60000, timeOut: 30000, lockTimeOut: 10000, delegation: false}]; It detects the cross-domain as yes, but then I get "Error: [netFindResource: 'htts://USERNAME@mynas:8443' ] code: '404'" What am I doing wrong? my /usr/syno/etc/http-ssl-vhost.conf-user file looks like this: Listen 8443 <VirtualHost *:8443> SSLEngine on <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$"> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </FilesMatch> BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*" \ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 CustomLog /dev/null \ "%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b" Include /usr/syno/etc/sites-enabled-user/*.conf </VirtualHost> Also I noticed that even though I added my CardDav account to my mac 'Contacts' as https://mynas:843/baikal/cards.php/addressbooks/USERNAME/default The macosx contacts app (which works with this addressbook!) now shows the server path as /baikal/card.php/principals/USERNAME/

There is also a new readme.txt with better installation instructions. Thank you very much for your bug reports, suggestions and translations! changelog: http://www.inf-it.com/caldavzap/changelog.txt download: http://www.inf-it.com/CalDavZAP_0.10.0.zip demo: http://www.inf-it.com/caldavzap/ JM p.s.: very short roadmap for 0.11.0: invitation support :-)

Android CardDAV client
by Johan Vromans 03 Jan '14

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
