Kolab 2 and horde contacts problem

[Greg Saul]

Hello again.

Unfortunately I haven't removed or even touched that little block of 
code, so it's probably not that.

And I can't see anything that should be at all related in any of the 
error logs.

I've been digging around in hordes code trying to track whats happening 
with the synchronizing of the various imap folders Calendar, Tasks etc.

No imap folder is created to sync to so I'm thinking this might be the 
root of the problem. It seems the only way to make a new imap folder is 
using:

Kolab::updateShare($share);
if the folder is not found this function then creates one (using the 
imap class).

The problem seems to be that this function is only run by the custom hook.
_horde_hook_share_add
_horde_hook_share_modify

These custom hooks are called for the calendar, Tasks etc but not for 
the Contacts, this may be because contacts are not shared.

I'm just about to try and fix the problem, but before I did I wanted to 
make sure I'm not barking up the completely the wrong tree.

Do local contacts work in horde and kolab_2 for other people? And if 
this is a bug and I do manage to fix it who should I contact about it?

One other think I've found is that events in shared contacts are not 
showing up and people with write access to shared calendars can't write 
to them, they just get a blank screen.

Best Regards,
Greg Saul
