Sync FFOX 3.0

[Thatoo]

Caldav works perfectly between cozy and FFOS 3.0 using the Thunderbird link! Both way, it works great!

About contact, I try using the two apps that I could find on the marketplace, SyncDav (https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/syncdav?src=search, github : https://github.com/tuxgasy/SyncDav/issues ) and CardDavSync (https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/carddavsync?src=search , contact : [email protected] ). In both cases, it syncs only one way from server to pocket computer, from cozy to FFOS.

SyncDav download only the phone number, and everytime I click on sync it download everything, even the one I downloaded before.
CardDavSync seems better because it download names and number (probably the rest also, email and stuff but I don't know, I didn't try). And it doesn't download all everytime. However, it "download/create" weird contact, uncomplete (just the phone or an empty contact..).

Thank you for reporting but it looks like the problem comes for the app. Could you try this app with Google Calendar?

I think also that problems are coming from apps that's why I give their contact and I contacted them to give them your contact. However, I hope Mozilla will offer a native carddav system for FFOS 3.1 or 4.0.

Hi Thatoo,

Thank you for your feedback. I think I have an idea about the weird contact issue : open the .vcf card of a contact on which you experience the bug. Does it have a FN field value ?

For the moment, this field is the only way for CardDAVSync to guess a contact already exist in the phone memory and merge informations. I experienced this bug with Tine2.0 CardDAV provider lately and I am thinking about a workaround.

Can you please confirm me that your .vcf contact card doesn't have a FN field value ? It will help me to narrow this issue down.

Best regards,

Liartes

Hi Thatoo,

I made some test on Cozycloud public demo. I did not experienced any duplication/weird contact behaviour. By analyzing the .vcf cards, the FN field is correctly fill on the CozyCloud demo instance. Infortunately Firefox OS didn't provide any other field to formely identify a unique contact so I can't fix this issue at the moment.

Best regards,

Hello Liartes,

I check what you said and I couldn't find anything special about FN.

I tried several things :

• Ideleted all my contacts in FFOS 3.0 and I sync from cozy. I download all the contact but it was weird because only the phone number appeared in the list of contact. I had to click on a contact to see his name.
• I deleted all and import the vcard from cozy again. It creates a confusion between first name and last name.
• I sync and one "no name" appear.
• I deleted all again and import the vcard that I saved before from the phone. No problem between names.
• I sync again and I had two new contact, the phone number of one of my contact, and one "no name"

Finally :

• I checked then my contact in cozy and I find at that first name and last name are not well done. I modified them, putting first name and last name in the good fields. I export this new vcard. I deleted my contacts in my phone to import this new vcard. Contacts are ok now on both, my phone and cozy.
• I seems to sync well, no double contacts, it just downloaded one empty extra "no name". If I sync again, it still here but not two like before. If I delete it, and sync again, it comes back, just one single "no name". It's not a big deal if the rest works.
• I created a new contact (with email) in cozy and I modified one (delete phone number and add email).
• I sync. The new contact appear in my phone. However, it didn't modified the exisitng contact, even after several sync.
  -I came back to normal (delete the fake contact and add back the phone number to the contact, I keep the email).
• I sync, the fake contact is not deleted, it stays. and the modified contact is still not modified. It seems that when I sync, it can only download new contact but cannot modify or delete a contact.

Something completely different : when I sync, it usually pause at 21%, 28% and/or 33% (and it can be quiet long) before completing the sync.

Cheers,
Yogo
