Forum for iCal4OL, Print4OL and ICS4OL

I installed Milan (2012/03) Beta 5 under WinXP, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2 (and meanwhile updated it to official release from September 2012)
 
The main installation was easy, but some culprits/bugs are present:
 
- This version actually needs PHP 5.3! There are just a few lines,
  which are not compatible with PHP 5.2.x, which I patched "somehow", to get a working Test Environment for CalDAV.
 
- The SabreDAV version 1.5.3 is buggy ("Report time-range" does not work correctly with recurring events, due to time-range-filter Bug + other stuff)
  ETAG-Header is correct, but other typical issues of SabreDAV are present, see http://ical.gutentag.ch/forum/viewtopic.php?id=449
 
- It's slow.. (not sure why, perhaps my older WAMP system..)
 
- The Rewrite Rules had to be fixed in .htaccess (in main server path /) for my test installation in subdir /tine/

RewriteEngine on
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(GET|POST)
RewriteRule ^tine/$ tine/index.php?frontend=webdav [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tine/addressbooks tine/index.php?frontend=webdav [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tine/calendars tine/index.php?frontend=webdav [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tine/principals tine/index.php?frontend=webdav [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^tine/webdav tine/index.php?frontend=webdav [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization},L,QSA]

1)
First, you must download latest version of iCal4OL again. I had to implement a few fixes..
 
2)
The Assistants are only working from now on (see change date of this post!) . Email and Timezone can't get retrieved from Tine 2.0
Assistant URL (with path info!) e.g.: http://my.example.com/tine/webdav/
 
Manual configuration of iCal4OL:
- WHO:  Important: The Email address MUST be set to the email address used in this Tine account - set it in Tine (in Outlook it may be different)!
- WHAT: CalDAV
- HOW:
URL e.g: http://my.example.com/tine/webdav/Calendar/personal/admin/Tine%202.0%20Admin%20Accounts%20pers%C3%B6nlicher%20Kalender/ (See in Browserinterface of Tine 2.0)
UserID:  caldav deleted remove nosimilar organizer singleget href no_global debug carddav singlecontacts tine2.0 no_dist
Authorization: ...should be clear..
[X] Activate enhanced options (tab "x.1 More")
- 2.1 MORE (Export)
[X] Suppress Attendees..  (may be necessary!)
 

Comments:
- DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:  ... is bull#@!?  => DTSTART:  is correct! ";VALUE=DATE-TIME" in TZID never seen before... implemented!
- HREF's can only be 40 characters long (255 is the Spec!) => Flag "href" necessary
  Otherwise iCal4OL will use the .EntryID, or for invitations the .GlobalAppointmentID. Those fields can be up to 232 Char long.
- TRIGGER: for Alarms not working, does need TRIGGER;VALUE=DURATION:  => implemented
- I had internal server errors, with some ATTENDEE lines  =>  Therefore "[X] Suppress Attendees" on tab "2.1 More" may be necessary.
- Received invitations can't get uploaded correctly, due to UID length limit of 40 characters (255 is the Spec!) => Flag "no_global" implemented!
  GlobalAppointmentID can have up to 232 characters. Better change length in table tine20_cal_events for UID!
  To use GlobalAppointmentID is better, because accepting an invitation (and some other modifications)
  does actually delete and re-add the appointment in OL with the same GlobalAppointmentID.
  Sync fields are also lost this way and must be "re-found" (Exceptions, where this field is empty, are import from other .pst file or drag&drop).
  (Note: With the flags "no_global" you may experience some duplicates... therefore its better to modify in table "tine20_cal_events" the field "UID".)
 

- CardDAV (Contacts) is working from RC2 on - but you must download again latest version of iCal4OL!
  For correct URL browse e.g. http://rock:8080/tine/webdav/ ...  and add a trailing / (slash)!
  e.g: http://rock:8080/tine/webdav/Addressbook/personal/admin/Tine%202.0%20Admin%20Accounts%20pers%C3%B6nliches%20Adressbuch/
