Problem with WebApp Calendar after ICS-Import

marty

What happens when you open the appointment from the list view?
Does this ics file has METHOD:REQUEST or METHOD:PUBLISH?

We’re working on ics file import from WebApp, so would be great if you can share this ics file
(strip sensitive data of course)

I have deleted all new entries - I can not say that. The ICS file was very simple.

In the morning I have create a new user with rights for my calendar and everything works. But now the same problem also with the new user and his empty calendar.

Very strange…

Because I could not find the reason, I have successfully created a new account and migrated the data now.

Created a new Kopano account with kopano-admin (normannew; normannew@domain.de)
Gave permissions in new account for old account and opened shared folder in old account with WebApp (i think only this direction is possible to prevent, that the problem is also on the new account!)
Used old account to copy mail, contacts, calendar (list view; only 6 month old data and all recurring calender entries with recurring info column; some old calender entries could not be copied - but that’s ok) with WebApp
Deleted permissions and the shared folder with WebApp
Deleted Exchange account on smartphone
Renamed old account (norman -> normanold; norman@domain.de -> normalold@domain.de) with kopano-admin
Renamed new account (normannew -> norman; normannew@domain.de -> norman@domain.de) with kopano-admin
Created Exchange account on smartphone

We’re working on ics file import from WebApp

Perfect!!!

I’m missing the END:VCALENDAR in the file, but that’s probably just cut off.
With python-kopano import it works fine in WebApp (every view)

Btw: currently only the first entry is imported. That’s something that has to be fixed in kopano-core.

norman

Yes - ICS is ok with END:VCALENDAR.
I think it was not the ICS file itself but one of the import attempt messed up everything internal.

@norman
I’ve experienced similar problems on different versions of WebApp a few times. Users don’t remember what they did with their calendars before the problem occurred.

A symptom was always, that no entries where show in the day / week / month views.

I then exported the WebApp settings as a JSON file with

kopano-tools-webapp_settings --user jdoe --backup

cleaned it manually from all calendar related settings und restore it back (–restore).

norman

Thanks for this info. Do you mean this tool?

norman

I tried the procedure. Unfortunately without success.

tosty

Sorry to hear that. You could also try to completely reset the WebApp settings.

kopano-tools-webapp_settings --user jdoe --remove
