Activesync, eSync, z-push in current trunk of egroupware: Calendar and Windows 10 mobile

umehner 2016-01-14 21:35:48 UTC #1

Hi,

I had some issues with my new and very first Windows 10 mobile phone using calendar sync through Exchange Activesync (EAS) and built in Outlook calendar app.
The calendar description is synched wrong or not at all.
I fixed it with editing file egroupware/activesync/inc/class.activesync_backend.inc.php :

First, for synching eGW to phone the items have their body set to $bodypreference[1] sent to function note2messagenote , the code there expects only $bodypreference[2] . So I changed the code to accept [1] as well as [2] to run through html wrapping for the message body (and truncation).

But this wasn’t enough, W10mobile Outlook app seems not to be able to render
s properly. It needs paragraphs instead.
So I changed the html wrapping code to

'<body><p style="font-size: 14.0pt;">'.
str_replace(array("\n","\r","\r\n"),"</p><p style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\">",$note).
'</p></body>'.

Second, when creating a new calendar item on the phone and synching it to eGW the description gets lost.
It turned out that the item had $airsyncbasebody->type set to 2 when sent to function messagenote2note in the same file as above, so I added a case ‘2’ with

case '2' :    $body = html_entity_decode( strip_tags( str_replace('</p>', "\n", $airsyncbasebody->data) ) );
break;

Outlook app allows to create calendar description like an html email (for example colored text and stuff). These kind of decorations gets removed. Hope everyone can live with that.

Maybe my code suggestions help addressing (and fixing) the issues.

Cheers,
Ulle

Hi Ralf,

I switched from svn-trunk to github 16.x master recently. Thanks for considering my suggestions!

Apparently it seems as if MS has released an update since my last post - the paragraphs and linebreaks are now being rendered correctly. So this can be set back from

to
again. Description text is tiny, but can be zoomed with two fingers (no font sizing needed).
But: Last time I was missing an important detail for W10mobile html body. It comes with $bodypreference[1] instead of $bodypreference[2] .
So together with the truncation part my working code looks now like

                        if (isset($bodypreference[1]) || isset($bodypreference[2]))
                        {
                                ZLog::Write(LOGLEVEL_DEBUG, "HTML Body");
                                $airsyncbasebody->type = 2;
                                $html = '<html>'.
                                                '<head>'.
                                                '<meta name="Generator" content="eGroupware/Z-Push">'.
                                                '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">'.
                                                '</head>'.
                                                '<body>'.
                                                str_replace(array("\n","\r","\r\n"),"<br />",$note).
                                                '</body>'.
                                                '</html>';
                                if ( isset($bodypreference[1]["TruncationSize"]) && strlen($html) > $bodypreference[1]["TruncationSize"])

                                }
                                if ( (isset($bodypreference[1]["TruncationSize"]) || isset($bodypreference[2]["TruncationSize"])) && strlen($html) > $bodypreference[2][
"TruncationSize"])
                                {

Unfortunately there is no code here, maybe Nabble forum or mailing list
eat it.

Most easy for use would be to fork our code on Github and send a pull
request, then we can discuss everything in there.
Anyway I’m happy for however you send comments

Okay, didn’t know that it gets lost somewhere as it is still shown here:
http://www.egroupware.org/discover/egroupware-forum#nabble-td4010839|a4013773

Getting familiar with git seems to be too much effort to me currently. I could barely do a pull (I was used to “checkout”) for getting 16.x/master …
