Works now without crashing Funambol Outlook Plugin :-)

Maybe we should also add some comment in the source code why we do the 
"mday--" for later readers ot the code?



Many thanks

What about the following :
I have included the DTSTART case in the getAllAttributes() loop again
to streamline the code and modified the DTEND case to use the same
formating as the DTSTART. The variable "$start" is only used to
compare against "$alarm" as far as i can see and this is working. The
"$end" is only used to compute "Duration" which is no SIF-E attribute
anyway as far as i can see??
No, the $start is also used inside the loop, and we can't guarantee 
that the DTSTART attribute is always before the other attributes that 
depend on it. Beside that, the $start variable had been overwritten 
inside the loop under certain circumstances.

Lead to "Undefined Index: value" and some strange Start Date :
What's the exact error message (line number)?
Why not simply use the same code as for the End-Date as this is
working as it seams???
Because we need the start date at several places.

It does not work



For the lines

Horde_iCalendar::_exportDateTime($item['value']);

+                $start = $item['value'];



I get a "Undefined variable: item"



and for



+                    $hash['End'] = $date->sprintf('%04d-%02d-%02d');



a "call to undefined method Horde_Date::sprintf()"



in the logfile.



My Horde Version is 3.3.4.

Thanks, that helps a lot. It's still a serious bug in Funambol that 
really has to be fixed there, but at least we have some hints how to 
work around it now.

Try what I committed.

Here are two data.txt debug files with AllDayEvent sync Events.



Outlook-receive-allday.txt lead to crash of the Funambol Outlook Plugin



Outlook-sent-allday.txt is what the same Plugin sent when the event is 
created in Outlook



It seams that the SIF-E does not like full date/times in case of 
AllDayEvent maybe because AllDayEvent means the whole day and not 
lasting 24 hours in Outlook world, so the time part is pointless anyway.

Next in SIF-E Start and End Day have to be the same for a one Day 
event, otherwise it is translated to a two day event as addressed 
Bug#6847.

As the SIF-E is solely to Funambol we could simply hack Sync4j.php to 
follow there "rules", or check version number of the Funambol Plugin 
and use "vcalendar 1.0" instead if the version is >= 7...

Eh, true, I was confused. Can you post a SIF-E event sent from the 
client, that matches the rules of the Kronolith event that causes the 
client to crash?
08/14/2009 08:59:21 PM lst_hoe02 (at) kwsoft (dot) de Comment #6 Reply to this comment
I thought Horde always send SIF-E if the client is funambol so this 
would be a misshandling of there own format?

Please report this to Funambol then.

Unless we did something wrong in the iCalendar implementation (and 
this change was actually required to *fix* a broken implementation), 
there is nothing we could do.

This was introduced with the latest changes in Horde for 3.3.4 / 
SyncML. The Plugin crashes with the "send report to MS" message and 
that's it. It occurs as soon as a reccuring event should be synced 
with all versions of the Outlook Funambol Plugin up to 8.0.4

Funambol crashes when receiving events that last from 00:00 to 00:00 
the next day from horde.

The events are usually public holidays(New Years Day etc) that are 
automatically added by outlook.

The events when export to csv look like

New Year's Day        Holiday        Australia                        1/01/2008        0:00:00        2/01/2008        0:00:00        0

This occurs for recurring events as well.

I am running centos 5.3 with horde webmail edition 1.2.3. Using 
Funambol outlook connector 7.2.



The debug information from /tmp/sync/log.txt for an event is below:
