Appointment participants - search box - accounts are not found

Aleksander_Adamowsk2 2007-12-13 22:14:48 UTC #1

I’ve just discovered that on the current SVN trunk version of eGW,
there’s a problem with calendar appointment participants.

When I try to search for participants, I only find my private entries
from the SQL addressbook.

Accounts addressbook isn’t searched. When I go to Addressbook app, I
can see all the accounts from LDAP there (and all the attributes -
mobile number, jpegPhoto etc - are visible properly).

That’s always the case if the accounts are stored in a different backend
then the contacts. The all search cant do a union over these two media,
which would be necessary to sort and paginate the result.

Though it’s not a bit problem with calendar, as it contains a
user-selection. I was thinking if adding ‘Accounts’ like an application
to the options, would allow to search for accounts, withouth using the
popup.

Yes, there should be something like this.

I’ve also discovered that when I go to “Preferences” -> “Common
Preferences” and change “How would you like to select accounts” to
"Selectbox" instead of “Selectbox with primary group and search”, I
can see all the accounts.

But then I get a drop-down list which is somewhat uncomfortable for
over 500 users.
In a large company of 20000 users it would be even worse…

Hi Ralf!

So how to add this ‘Accounts’ option to the search box? It should be
quite simple, right? I have a need for that… The ordinary selectbox
is unusable for more than 100 accounts (and more so if you have more
that 1000 or 10000).
