Webbased groupware to work with SyncServer?

[Dorowan]

Hi!
Does anyone know a webbased groupware that works well with the Synthesis SyncML Server? Has anyone experiences in customizing the server-config to work with one?

I tried eGroupware and their SyncML-Interface before changing to Synthesis Server. eGroupware does not sync very well with my palm (home addresses do not sync from egw to palm and private email get's lost).

I am a home user so it is no option to order a customization.

Greetings,
Carsten

Hi,

I use OpenGroupware, which is a reasonably well working open source groupware solution (see www.opengrouware.org). It synchronizes quite well with the Synthesis server, although it has some limitations.

If you want the data, just give me a signal.

Thanks for your offer Jaap!
I might get back to it later. At the moment I am going to give the funambol server a second try because I would not need the nexthaus Outlook-Plugin then - for private use I would like to spare the 30$. I could not make the funambol-Outlook-plugin work with the synthesis server. Since I could not make it work with zyb.com either I blame the plugin for this.

Another interesting thing is that Scalix announced that they are going to make funambol server work with their groupware. In the meantime I could use "simple groupware" which already works with funambol.

Thanks for your offer!

BTW: While looking for a web based groupware with palm and outlook connections I found opengroupware but skiped it because in their forum there were to many unanswered questions. Can you tell me something about your experiences with the support and documentationof opengroupware?

Hello
I am new in this forum (subscribe today....).

I also use EGW and sync data (calendar/contacts) with a palm Tungsten E.

I confirm your post : home email do not sync in both ways. Since I do not use home address, I can't say anything about this.

I have tryed to understand what happend, but I am not programmer....

Perhaps the problem is located in the /calendar/inc/class.vcalladdressbook.inc.php
You can read that synthesis ag device is assigned to defaultfield array 0 :

$defaultFields[0] = array(
'ADR;WORK' => array('','','adr_one_street','adr_one_locality','a dr_one_region',
'adr_one_postalcode','adr_one_countryname'),
'CATEGORIES' => array('cat_id'),
'CLASS' => array('access'),
'EMAIL;INTERNET;WORK' => array('email'),
'N' => array('n_family','n_given','','',''),
'NOTE' => array('note'),
'ORG' => array('org_name',''),
'TEL;CELL;WORK' => array('tel_cell'),
'TEL;FAX;WORK' => array('tel_fax'),
'TEL;HOME' => array('tel_home'),
'TEL;WORK' => array('tel_work'),
'TITLE' => array('title'),

As you can see, email_home and home address are not included.
I have tryed to insert ** 'EMAIL;INTERNET;HOME' => array('email_home'), **
line, but at this time, second email in my palm (first : work, second : home) are included and replace the work email in EGW .... strange, is'nt it ?


Perhaps I'm totaly wrong and the problem is in another place ...

In any case, I continue to work with EGW, just because the calendar sync between palm and EGW works fiiiine.

Best regards, and If someone can help ......

I would like the data. I would also like to know exactly what the limitations are. Your help would be great.
