Hi,

is CalDavZAP supposed to reload from the caldav server if changes were made there (by another program)?

it doesn't do here although I've

var globalSyncResourcesInterval=120000; var globalBackgroundSync=true;

best

Hi,

short answer: YES (we use it for collaboration [car/room reservation, ...] between ~60 people).

The full story: CalDavZAP not only reloads data from the server, but also reloads it using "sync-collection report" - this is the most efficient way to perform the synchronization (supported by: DAViCal, Calendarserver/OS X Server and very probably also by the latest Cyrus IMAP/CalDAV).

If "sync-collection report" is not supported by your server, then the synchronization is performed using URL+Etag comparison (this method is MUCH MUCH MUCH slower - one of the reasons why I usually recommend to use DAViCal).

If you can create a demo account on your server (or any demo server) then we can check where is the problem ... send me a private message with URL + username/password ...

Hi Johannes,

thanks for the demo account; we identified the problem and here is the fix:

http://www.inf-it.com/fixes/caldavzap_0.10.0.1x.diff

to apply the patch: - download the file into the caldavzap directory - execute: patch -p1 < caldavzap_0.10.0.1x.diff - execute: ./cache_update.sh

JM

p.s.: if you confirm that everything works I will release the 0.10.0.2 (with this fix only) next week
