How to create InfoLog to EGroupware via API?

ngletuan · Mar 5

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with creating a parent Infolog and child Infologs.

I have attached an email to a group to create with Infolog but there is a problem that it does not work with the group email.

When I create the parent Infolog, it has a UID but creating subs by UID is completely impossible to attach.

     def create_task_on_egroupware(request, title, egroupware_group_id, description, parent_uid=None):

        API_URL = settings.EGROUPWARE_API_URL
        username = request.user.username
        password = settings.EGROUPWARE_CREDENTIALS.get('password')

        api_url = f"{API_URL}/{username}/infolog/"

        headers = {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Prefer": "return=representation",
            "Accept": "application/pretty+json"
        }

        # 🔹 Lấy thời gian hiện tại theo chuẩn UTC, định dạng ISO 8601
        start_time = datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat()

        # 🔹 Lấy thông tin nhóm từ ExtendedGroup dựa vào egroupware_group_id
        try:
            group = ExtendedGroup.objects.get(egroupware_group_id=egroupware_group_id)
            group_name = group.group.name  # Lấy tên group
            group_email = group.email_manager  # Lấy email manager
            group_principal_url = f"principals/groups/{group_name.lower()}/"  # Dùng principal-URL
        except ExtendedGroup.DoesNotExist:
            print(f"❌ Group not found for egroupware_group_id = {egroupware_group_id}")
            return None

I have tried all ways to fix the error but still not working.

EGroupware/egroupware/blob/master/doc/REST-CalDAV-CardDAV/Infolog.md

# EGroupware REST API for InfoLog

Authentication is via Basic Auth with username and a password, or a token valid for:
- either just the given user or all users
- CalDAV/CardDAV Sync (REST API)
- InfoLog application

Following RFCs / drafts used/planned for JSON encoding of InfoLog entries
* [rfc8984: JSCalendar: A JSON Representation of Calendar Data](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8984)
* [links sub-collection to add attachments and links to other application-entries](Links-and-attachments.md)

### Used JSCalendar Task schema to encode InfoLog entries plus EGroupware&InfoLog specific extensions:
* stock JSCalendar Task attributes like: `uid`, `title`, `start`, ... (see above link)
* `@type` is always `Task` independent of InfoLog type, see `egroupware.org:type` below
* `progress` stock values: 
  * `needs-action` (InfoLog `not-started`)
  * `in-progress` (InfoLog `ongoing`)
  * `completed` (InfoLog `done`)
  * `cancelled`
  * `egroupware.org:<infolog-status>` (all other status supported by InfoLog use a `egroupware.org:` prefix)

Hi ngletuan,

Using an email address to identify a group is currently NOT working, I need to fix this

This is due to the fact that you prefixed the UID with “urn:uuid:”, which is currently not understood, we expects just the UID. I will change the parser to allow an optional prefix of “urn:uuid:”.

Ralf

Good morning Sir,

I am building a separate ERP application, and Egroupware is used to manage the main database. So it will be completely API-based so Infolog or Calendar cannot use UID prefixed with “urn:uuid" or add Group was participants

RalfBecker · Mar 6

That is not what I said!

I will fix these bugs, but in the meantime you can work around one of them by removing the prefix “urn:uuid:” from the UID.

I tried to adjust everything but it still shows the same error even though I also updated Egroupware to the new version

Ok, there was a missing backport, therefore the fix was NOT in the last maintenance release

You need to patch the following 2 commits into your 23.1.20250307 container:

When the two commits are added to your container, relatedTo will be parsed also with “urn:uuid:” prefix:

cat <<EOF|curl -i -X POST https://boulder.egroupware.org/epl-23.1/groupdav.php/infolog/ -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H "Accept: application/pretty+json" -H "Prefer:return=representation" -d @- --user sysop
{"@type":"Task","title":"Subtask","start":"20250403T100000","timeZone":"Europe/Berlin","description":"Just a 2nd test","relatedTo":{"urn:uuid:c8e7e42d-e0dd-433b-bf99-1f6e778a75ea":{"@Type":"Relation","relation":"parent"}}} 
EOF
Enter host password for user 'sysop':
