Cannot share folders with the MDM plugin

mcostan

I tried again, When I do this from the MDM front end I get the following.

The folder on the top “bill” works fine, and it was added using z-push.

The folder “Oracle” was added from the MDM plugin:

       ------------------------
        Folder name:    Bills
        Store:          SYSTEM
        Type:           Email
        Origin:         Shared
        Folder id:      9995a8356ba047cd800edeb80b480023384b00000000
        Parent id:      0
        Synched:        Active
        ------------------------
        Folder name:    Oracle - 
        Store:
        Type:           Email
        Origin:         Shared
        Folder id:      9995a8356ba047cd800edeb80b480023e9010b000000
        Parent id:      0

Note the user SYSTEM missing.

the versions are as following:

WebApp:
3.4.20.1651+940.1
Kopano Core:
8.6.2
Z-Push:
2.4.3+0-0

We’ve basically experienced the same problem with public folders.
When adding a folder with the MDM plugin, the store / user SYSTEM is missing.
Works only by adding with z-push.

Tried several versions of MDM plugin, incl. 2.1.0.102+24.1 , with several Version of Zarafa / Kopano Core

I just checked my MDM plugin version, it’s the latest on the community site:

kopano-webapp-plugin-mdm 2.1.0.102+23.1

I think this bug needs to be fixed though… It is currently very misleading as the MDM front end says “shared” whilst the folders just do not appear.

What’s more it wasn’t easy at all to debug and I had to take the valuable time from @Manfred to work out what was going on…

I think it would be great to get to the bottom of this.

If there is anything else I can do to help with debugging please do let me know.

It is good to know that @tosty is having the same issue as perhaps it will be easier to replicate.

@mcostan / @tosty I added some background to https://jira.kopano.io/projects/KMP/issues/KMP-65 and we’ll check it out soon

Seems, this little change fixes the problem:

That’s great!

@bhuisman

Let us know when this is in the MDM build and I can test and report back if this fixes the issue on my side.

Thanks a lot!

bhuisman

@tosty Cool! If you could create your patch following this guide: https://stash.kopano.io/projects/KW/repos/kopano-webapp/browse/CONTRIBUTING.md we can put it in the code as a contribution.

tosty

Well, I tried to get this done yesterday. Sent the patch via email.

@tosty thanks! I found your email and exported a patch - it is attached to the ticket.

@bhuisman

Good afternoon, I was wondering when the fix will be available in the overnight community builds.

marty

@mcostan
Better to track https://jira.kopano.io/browse/KMP-65

mcostan

@marty

Good afternoon, I noticed the JIRA is now set to completed. Can I assume that the community overnight builds will include the fix?

marty

@mcostan
Yes and I’ve put them online already

mcostan

Great thank you for your help. I’ll pick up the changes and test.

mcostan

@marty

Installed and tested and I can confirm that this fixes the bug. Much appreciated in particular to @tosty for finding the solution!

tosty

@mcostan
You’re welcome!

… and unfortunately this tiny but very important fix (thx to @tosty) is still not released with a supported MDM plugin version … and that 8 months later?

So I really wonder what we pay subscription for?

Since yesterday we wanted to make shared calendars and address books from the public folders available for mobile devices (can’t imagine anyone else doing that?) and have wasted some time because of this (long solved) bug because we as paying customer use the supported repo :/

Just not satisfied

@PRO123 I’m sorry you feel this way, but you could have also send an email to support and ask about a status update, since you have a paid subscription.

In the mean time I will check if an update version can be released.

@marty said in Cannot share folders with the MDM plugin:

but you could have also send an email to support and ask about a status update, since you have a paid subscription.

Yes we could contact the support every time, but you could save effort for everyone (also for Kopano support), if you release (important) fixes also in the supported repo, at least not sometime after (8) months.

Btw. thanks for your quick reaction here.

marty

@PRO123 You are correct.
The new version can be found in the repositories. Short announcement will be posted later.
