CelDavZAP displays only the first day of an event

Hi, I am encountering a strange behavior... When I create an event from 29 march 2014 to 30 march 2014, CalDavZAP displays it only on 29/03. BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED:20140227T104134Z LAST-MODIFIED:20140227T104134Z DTSTAMP:20140227T104134Z UID:cmefj6qt-g022-kyv0-qmru-k0rdclitfkw2 SUMMARY:Tets Event TRANSP:TRANSPARENT CLASS:PUBLIC DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20140329 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20140331 END:VEVENT Any idea ? Note : I am still using CalDavZAP v0.10.0 (I can't upgrade to latest for now). Maybe this bug is solved in 0.10.0.2 ? Julien

caldavzap - auth basic doesn't work as expected while digest does
by Dr. Johannes Zellner 26 Feb '14

26 Feb '14

Hi, I observed something strange with caldavzap which I wasn't able to track down myself. If I use a baikal server with auth digest and have "var globalUseJqueryAuth=true" in config.js, everything works as expected and w/o errors. If I switch to basic auth with the very same server and have globalUseJqueryAuth undefined in config.js, the initial loading of the calendar data works as expected. But after globalSyncResourcesInterval I get errors like this: REPORT http://mysite/cal.php/calendars/username/default/ 403 (Forbidden) jquery-2.1.0.min.js:4 l.cors.a.crossDomain.send jquery-2.1.0.min.js:4 o.extend.ajax jquery-2.1.0.min.js:4 CalDAVnetLoadCollection webdav_protocol.js:2063 CalDAVnetLoadCollection.$.ajax.complete webdav_protocol.js:2337 j jquery-2.1.0.min.js:2 k.fireWith jquery-2.1.0.min.js:2 x jquery-2.1.0.min.js:4 (anonymous function) To be clear -- I don't get these errors with auth digest. Any ideas? -- Johannes

additional link to DAViCal admin page
by rog7993＠web.de 25 Feb '14

25 Feb '14

Hello, does a simple possibility exists for placing an icon with a link to the DAViCal admin page in CalDavZAP? Maybe below of the logout button? I found an icon (images/banner_settings.svg) in the installation folder, which may be suited for this. But I assume this is dedicated for another purpose, maybe for the integration with CardDavMATE. With the actual version I can't discover, where and when it is used. But my Javascript and CSS knowledge is somewhat limited... Ingo

There should be a -01 draft out soon, but the original should give you an idea of what it entails. We are looking at doing a multi-vendor demo of VPOLL at our next CalConnect in May. Right now, the only client that we have is something that the Apple server guy mocked up in JS which talks to the Apple server. Since you have a fully functional CalDAV client, it would be awesome if CalDAVZap could also support VPOLL. That being said, I wouldn't be able to do any testing until I add support for VPOLL, which I also plan to do in the next month or so. -- Kenneth Murchison Principal Systems Software Engineer Carnegie Mellon University

minimum font size
by rog7993＠web.de 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Hello, is there a bug tracker for CalDAVzap anywhere? For better readability I defined a minimum font size within Firefox. If using something greater than 14 pt a display error occurs when defining a new event. The event will be created with a time shift and it will last longer compared to the selected time range. For reproducing try: - define a minimum font size of 20 pt - create a new event by selecting 9:00 with the mouse and pulling it down to 11:00 -> the event will be created from 12:00 to 15:30. I observed this not only with Firefox but with Google Chrome too. Ingo

Here's an instruction and patch how to use caldavzap with the baikal server (or probably any sabedav based server)
by Dr. Johannes Zellner 17 Feb '14

17 Feb '14

Hi, here's how to use caldavzap with the baikal server (or probably any sabredav based server). I'd recommend to include it somewhere as configuration example (e.g. caldavzap/misc/readme_baikal_sabredav.txt). I'll attach the following "readme_baikal_sabredav.txt" and the patch. PROBLEM: -------- caldavzap reads and saves session settings persistently in the caldav server by PROPPATCH / PROPFIND in a principal property '{http://inf-it.com/ns/dav/}settings'. Unfortunately, sabredav and sabredav based caldav servers... - do not provide access to new or non-standard properties - do not provide write access to principal properties with PROPPATCH SOLUTION: --------- An ideal and clean solution would be a sabredav plugin which allows creation and access to arbitrary new principal properties. Since such a plugin doesn't exist, I'll show here a hack which modifies baikal to just provide the specific principal property '{http://inf-it.com/ns/dav/}settings' which is needed by caldavzap. The following steps apply to baikal 0.2.7 but should be applicable to any sabredav based server. 1. modify your sql databse: add a text type database entry to the principals table which will hold the settings. This can be done by sql commands or by using a gui frontend for your database. I've named this text field 'inf_it_settings'. Example: the sqlite structure of the principals table should then look like this: CREATE TABLE 'principals' ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY ASC, uri TEXT, email TEXT, displayname TEXT, vcardurl TEXT, inf_it_settings TEXT, UNIQUE(uri) ) 2. apply the patch baikal-flat-0.2.7-for-caldavzap.diff to patch the baikal server. This patch does two things: a) it modifies vendor/sabre/dav/lib/Sabre/DAVACL/PrincipalBackend/PDO.php to map requests for the property '{http://inf-it.com/ns/dav/}settings' to the newly created database field inf_it_settings (see above 1.) b) it modifies vendor/sabre/dav/lib/Sabre/DAVACL/Principal.php to give write access to principal properties ('write' includes 'write-properties'). best -- Johannes

CalDAVZap with CalendarServer
by Pascal Dallaire 12 Feb '14

12 Feb '14

Hello to everyone, I’m trying the CalDAVZap module with a CalendarServer installation (it’s version 4.2 but I made the modifications from the diff file manually). It works perfectly with it, I can see my calendars/events. But the default Apple Calendar/iCal application cannot list the person’s permitted delegations after that. It just says « Delegation is not supported by this server », when usually it lists the calendars I have read and/or write access to… When I remove the diffs from CalDAVZap, that functionality comes back, but I cannot use CalDAVZap :( Anybody can help with that? Thanks in advance Pascal

[CalDavZAP] some thoughts about the tasks interface
by Dr. Johannes Zellner 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

Hi, 1. I'd find it much more efficient, if the tasks would be shown in edit mode always. This way changes to a task could be typed in immediately w/o hitting an "edit" button first and the save button would just save and not return to a read-only view. 2. even more efficient would be an automated saving of the task changes so that you don't have to hit a save button any more. So as soon as anything is changed in a task it should be saved automatically to the caldav server. This way, the tasks interface woulnd't have save and revert buttons any more (with the obvious disadvantage that undo wouldn't be possible any more). a) what's the opinion of others about these suggestions? b) would it be hard to implement at least 1.? thanks and regards, -- Johannes
