Description Paco Orozco 2006-09-26 18:41:30 UTC
Version:           3.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I've seen RESOLVED bugs IDs 92052 and 86408, but this bug is still persisting.

If I create an event on KOrganizer with a eGroupware Calendar Resource, this event is submited to eGroupware and included.
Then If i refresh/reload, this event is twice in KOrganizer.
This event is duplicated on eGroupware too.
If the event is created on eGroupware, It's not duplicated.

Tobias, another one for you.

Maybe you should make yourself the owner of the KOrganizer Groupware component on bugs.kde.org?
Comment 2 Danas Augutis 2006-10-02 06:50:01 UTC
I think it the same like bug no 92052.
I can confirm it. After refreshment some entries duplicates. In my opinion it is major problem in KDEpim <-> eGroupware synch
Comment 3 Paco Orozco 2006-10-06 15:10:54 UTC
It maybe the same bug, but It still persists. 
I think it's a Korganizer problem, because if you export EGROUPWARE_DEBUG="" you will be able to see XML btw client and server.
XML looks good, but entries created from Korganizer are duplicated.
I can give you a eGW account if you need to solve this problem.

I can confirm this bug as well.

On first instance and initialization, all seems to work fine.

Process seems as follows:

Install resource
Uncheck box/recheck box to initialize sync (question: is this needed? Seemed to be the only way to get the resource to load and have entries show up in calendar/todo's?)
First instance - all calendar and todo's show properly in both egroupware and Korganizer.
Close Korganizer/Kontact
ReopenKorganizer/Kontact
Todo list is half what it should be approximately
Calendar shows double and in some cases multiple entries in both Korganizer and egroupware.

In addition to the above observations, I also deleted the data files from .kde/share/config/kresources_kcal_egroupwarerc to ensure data files were fres.
Same corruprion occurred.

Korganizer is a har superior interface to egroupware for Calendar management. This would be an important step forward to fix this and enable organizations to use the groupware power of both applications.

Thanks for all your hard work! If I were a coder I'd help!
Comment 6 Sebastian Lohmann 2006-10-19 21:36:06 UTC
I also confirm this bug. It appears using the XML-RPC- and the IcalSRV- interface either. This is quite annoying - I can not use kontact with egroupware :-(.
Comment 7 Reinhold Kainhofer 2006-11-02 19:06:19 UTC
Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created 
korganizer-devel mailing list.
Comment 8 Jacob Singh 2007-01-18 03:36:32 UTC
Is anyone interested in taking this one?  I'd be happy to provide a small bounty, it really cripples kontact / egroupware, and has been open for 4 months now...

I'd do it myself, but I wouldn't know where to start :)  not a Qt or C++ dev.

thanks,
Jaocb

How long does this bug exist? For about 3 Years?
It's still in KDE 3.5.6 (Ubuntu Feisty)

The suggested way of using KOrganizer + eGroupware is to use the Remote
File Resource of KOrganizer together with the icalsrv.php extension of
eGroupware.

The xmlrpc based solution doesn't work for large data sets by design.

Ciao,
Tobias
Comment 11 Danas Augutis 2007-05-08 11:44:04 UTC
icalsrv.php - Is it olny in CVS?
I can not find this file in my eGW installation (1.204)
Comment 12 Brad Barnett 2007-08-22 20:22:02 UTC
?

This problem has nothing to do with the size of the data set.  It occurs with an entirely empty calendar, and it has to do with a duplication of events.

Either this current bug should be fixed, or xmlrpc should be removed.  I can't imagine how many people, on a daily basis, try egroupware + kontact only to find out that both the Kontact page and egroupware page lie about calendar syncing working.

As well, all the docs I see on ical indicate that it is not a better solution, in terms of deleting events....
Comment 13 A. Look 2007-11-27 01:14:00 UTC
any news on this one? i've been trying to get a working kontact+egw setup every now and then for over one year now - without success. :(
Comment 14 Gregor Burck 2007-12-05 10:10:09 UTC
For eGroupware > 1.4.002 there is a solution:
Don't use xmlrpc for calendar, you can use GroupDAV.

For adressbook it is better with xmlrpc.
Comment 15 tony den haan 2008-01-18 17:15:41 UTC
why is there xmlrpc if you're not supposed to use it?
Comment 16 Christoph Thielecke 2009-11-28 13:40:05 UTC
It seems be still wrong in KDE 3.5.10. when it will be fixed?
