Possibility to add multiple todo-items at once?

[J_Roeleveld]

Hi all,

I regularly (monthly) have to create several (10+) todo-items attached to a project. All the info needed is in the title.

Is there a way to automate this process?
I am thinking of a script run on the server, I prefer not to edit the database directly.

If yes, where can I find documentation on how to do this?

Many thanks,

Joost

Two possibilities come into my mind:
a) CSV import
b) CalDAV via a bash script:

cat titles | while IFS="\n" read title
do
   uuid=$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid)
   timestamp=$(TZ=UTC date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ)
   curl -X POST -u "$username:$password" -d @- -H "Content-Type: text/calendar" "https://example.org/egroupware/groupdav.php/$username/infolog/?add-member" << EOF
BEGIN:VCALENDAR
VERSION:2.0
PRODID:-//EGroupware//NONSGML EGroupware InfoLog 1.9.003//DE
BEGIN:VTODO
SUMMARY:$title
DESCRIPTION:
UID:$uuid
DTSTAMP:$timestamp
CREATED:$timestamp
CLASS:PUBLIC
STATUS:NEEDS-ACTION
PERCENT-COMPLETE:0
PRIORITY:5
END:VTODO
END:VCALENDAR
EOF
done

Ralf,

Option “b” gives me the most flexibility and can be fully automated.
Is there an option to add a link to a project entry as well?
I can’t find that in any of the infolog entries.

Thanks,

Joost

Currently not via CalDAV, CSV Import allows to link to projects.
