another one:
After changing an event, either the changed one is displayed or all others. Which ones are shown changes randomly when reloading. After waiting a while and reloading the resource, everything is shown again.

This bug should perhaps moved to kresources/egroupware.

I have 3 appointment on eGroupWare 1.0.0.006, but Korganizer (3.4) doesn't show them.

Here is the xmlrpc output.
http://orniere-du-globe.net/files/korganizer_xmlrpc_output.xml

At the and of the xml, i've this error :
korganizer: WARNING: Cannot demarshal unknown type 
korganizer: WARNING: Cannot demarshal unknown type

In the addressbook: If you go the dialog for changing the egroupware addressbook (connection aso.) and just click <OK>, the contacts will appear soon.

This doesn't work for the calendar/tasks.

Looks like an eGroupware problem. You might want to try this:

Hi,

I have just applied the patch mentioned in Additional Comment #4, but is doesn't help. I still get 2 dates in egroupware after commiting one in kontact.

The patch mentioned in comment #4 seems to help only in some cases. 

Another bug:
Sometimes, korganizer tries to store the tasks / appointments using the session-id as login name! The worst thing is, after failing it asks again for the username/password, but it is not possible to change this login name (the input field is deactivated). Only method is to restart kontact / korganizer.

This happens with 3.4.1 and the 1.0.0 (stable) cvs-branch of eGroupware.

*Bump* .. anything new concerning those bugs? They leave the eGroupware feature sort of unusable :(

I use as Server Suse 9.0 with eGroupware 1.0.0.008 and es Client Suse 9.3/KDE 3.4.2.
At the moment I have more or less all the bugs mentioned above.
i.e.
After changing an event, either the changed one is displayed or all others,
the list of contacts vanishes from time to time and I think a new one: only events for the next two weeks are shown in kontact.

- kde 351
- eGroupWare-1.2-1.tar.bz2
- using xmlrpc

The agenda contains 4 appointments. All of them are visible when vieuwing them 
using a browser. When opening the agenda within contact, sometimes 2, 
somtimes 4 appointments are visible. It is un predictable which ones are 
visible

The page

http://www.egroupware.org/index.php?page_name=sync&wikipage=synchronisation+kontact

suggest

"On some installations the sync does not work after a new start. As a 
workaround you can uncheck and recheck the resource, then it works."

This is not correct. Uncheck and recheck the resource results in the same 
problem as described; sometimes 2, somtimes 4 appointments are visible. It is 
un predictable which ones are visible.

I notices that is not possible to use a browser and kontact on the same client
- browser logged in with user2
- kontact using xmlrpc with user1

Suddenly the browser shows the details of user1. It might be a egroupware of xmlrpc issue, not able to see the difference because of the same client / ip-address

There are a lot of ways to get in trouble:
- create appointment with browser and userID user1.
- refresh kontact on different client, using xmlrpc, using userID user1.

Sometimes appointments are shown within kontact, sometimes not. Refresh egw-resource do show appointments, or hides them again.
Terminating kontact and starting it again. Sometime appointments are shown, sometimes not.

Using kontact, edit the appointment that is previous created with the browser.
- sometimes updates goes OK.
- sometimes appointment gets duplicated.
next to this, after the edit-action within kontact, sometimes appointments appear of hide again.

Sorry to say, but it is complete useless like this.....

with eGroupware I notices that the xmlrpc-sessions do not end. A refresh of the resource within kontact results in a new xmlrpc-session with the previous one being freed.

egroupware has this option of non-permanent php sessions. Well, lets give it a try.

the results are remarkeble.
- the xmlrpc-sessions becomes free; no multiple xmlrpc sessions.

however, 2 of the 6 appoitments got trippled. Each refresh of the agenda resource in kontact resulted in a copy of 2 of the 6 appointments.

weird.......

sorry, typo:

with eGroupware I notices that the xmlrpc-sessions do not end. A refresh of the resource within kontact results in a new xmlrpc-session WITHOUT the previous one being freed. 

Just to add my comments to this long-standing issue.

Using EGroupware 1.009 and Kontact 3.5.1, when I try to use egroupware's
calendar with Kontact, some entries are duplicated in korganizer, while others
don't show or only show some of the time as some other posters have already described. 

This behavior is replicable and has been going on for eternity.

One would think that the kontact-egroupware sync was actually functional, since it is one of the resources that ships as part of KDE.

Additionally, using EGroupware 1.009 and Kontact 3.5.1, when I try to view my egroupware kontacts I get the following message:

"Server sent error -1: Received invalid XML markup: unexpected character at 2:2"

Strange thing is that the contact module was the one that used to work on prior kde installations.

I really hope that some engineering talent can go into fixing this problem once and for all as kontact in combination with egroupware make a wonderful combination.

I have been having all the same problems described above for several versions. Updates of both egroupware (1.2 now) and kontact (3.5.2) have not improved anything.

Regarding the contacts through the xmlrpc of egroupware, I get a similar -1 error: unexpected end of file at 24834:12.

Reassigning all KOrganizer bug reports and wishes to the newly created 
korganizer-devel mailing list.

Maybe some of the people/voters in this item are additionally/more interested in the issues/solving of #180564, which is about the handling and syncing of the contact fields between eGroupware and KDE via kresources/xmlrpc

The current recommendation from EGroupware is to use GroupDAV. It's the only
actively developed access method to EGroupware supported by KDE!
