Version: 3.5.9 (using 3.5.9, Gentoo) Compiler: Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.25-gentoo-r9 Hi All, The corporate I'm working for, are using Zimbra for mail/calendar/ tasks/etc. I've managed to make most of the KDE PIM work with Zimbra, but I came to a wall which is the Free/Busy URL. The way it's implemented today, is adding user.ifb at the end of the URL, prior to any parameters (using ? and & format). However, for Zimbra (and Outlook in some cases) are using the following URL: The basic free-busy data: https:// server.domain.com/zimbra/home/username/calendar.ifb Export the free/busy data in the calendar folder for the next 60 days you would: https:// server.domain.com/zimbra/home/username/calendar.ifb?start=0d&end=60d (Note that this is the free/busy data for the specific calendar folder name only.) If you wanted to get the info from multiple calendars on an account then you'd want to use the following URL instead: https:// server.domain.com/zimbra/home/username/?fmt=ifb https:// server.domain.com/zimbra/home/username/?fmt=ifb&start=0d&end=60d Is it possible to add support to the /username/ URL format, so no user.ifb is automatically added, but replace the /username/ pattern ? Thanks, Doron.

would it be ok if you could specify a full path like: https://server.domain.com/zimbra/home/username/calendar.ifb in this case, if we see the .ifb extension there, we simply would assume a full path and we would not append anything at all to the URL. we'd just use it as you specified.
Hi Allan, What you suggest is already possible today. It is possible to specify a specific free-busy fullpath URL for a contact. This is what I'm doing today, and it means for each relevant contact I have to do it manually :( This bug is about adding a generic support to the Zimbra/outlook formats- - https:// server.domain.com/zimbra/home/username/calendar.ifb - https:// server.domain.com/zimbra/home/username/?fmt=ifb With such a support I can give you a URL like the first one, and you simply replace username with what you have in the contact details (first part of the mail address). This will allow simple integration with Zimbra servers for many people... Thanks for trying to help !!! Doron
how about if you put in freebusy address as: https://server.domain.com/zimbra/home/%NAME%/calendar.ifb I will take their preferred email address from your addressbook (username@domain.com) and replace %NAME% with username. would that work? this will be hard to test since I don't use zimbra.
This may work, but let's review the scenario: 1. I get a meeting request. 2. I approve it, and it is saved into my calendar. 3. Now I want to change its time, so I open the meeting and there are many contacts there. Some in my address book, some not, and some are external to the company (ie- gmail addresses). Your solution will iterate the contacts in the meeting, but it should take the name from the meeting contact entry, so I'll be able to get FBI (free-busy info) for everyone besides the external addresses. Is this OK ?
I think so. but we'll find out in a few months. The solution I have can't go into 4.5 so it will need to wait for 4.6.
Very well. I can be your QA on this issue. Let me know when you need me. Doron
Doron, I'm pretty sure I implemented this a while back so I will resolve this one. please reopen if my memory is flawed. We should now support ifb, vfb, xfb.. maybe more I don't remember.
