This does not seem to solve all problems. 
 
Can anyone tell me why the _parseDate function in iCalendar.php  should
return an array instead of epoch times?
 
The whole resmgr.php script counts on the fact that the returned values of
DTSTART and DTEND attributes are epochs nomatter if a date a time or both
are entered.
 
My first fix caused the date to be corect in the XML part of the calendar
event written in IMAP (-->now shows up in konsec).
 
But now the checking of the busy periods is still wrong in resmgr.php. It
compares an array of day/month/year to an epoch time.
I suppose converting the array to epoch will solve the problem. But why is
it needed to have this array?
 
Perhaps its better to always return epochs by the iCalendar :: getAttribute
function ?
 
kind regards,
Pieter

This seems to fix the problem for me, however I'm not sure if other software

components use this routine which might now be broken : 

resmgr.php 

function iCalDate2Kolab($ical_date) 
{ 
    myLog("Converting ".print_r($ical_date,true),RM_LOG_DEBUG); 
   
    if (is_array($ical_date)) { 
        # going to create date again 
        $temp['zone']   = array_key_exists('zone',$ical_date) ? 
$ical_date['zone'] :  'UTC'; 
        $temp['hour']   = array_key_exists('hour',$ical_date) ? 
$ical_date['hour'] :  '00'; 
        $temp['minute']   = array_key_exists('minute',$ical_date) ? 
$ical_date['minute'] :  '00'; 
        $temp['second']   = array_key_exists('second',$ical_date) ? 
$ical_date['second'] :  '00'; 
        $temp['year']   = array_key_exists('year',$ical_date) ? 
$ical_date['year'] :  '0000'; 
        $temp['month']   = array_key_exists('month',$ical_date) ? 
$ical_date['month'] :  '00'; 
        $temp['mday']   = array_key_exists('mday',$ical_date) ? 
$ical_date['mday'] :  '00'; 
        $time = sprintf('%02d:%02d:%02d', 
                        $temp['hour'], $temp['minute'], $temp['second']); 
        if ($temp['zone'] == 'UTC') { 
            $time .= 'Z'; 
        } 
        $date= sprintf('%04d-%02d-%02d',$temp['year'], $temp['month'], 
$temp['mday']). "T".$time; 
    }  else { 
          // $ical_date should be a timestamp 
        $date = gmstrftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ', $ical_date); 
    } 
    myLog("To <$date>",RM_LOG_DEBUG); 
     return $date; 
} 


Kind regards, 
Pieter

 Hi, 

I'm currenlty running kolab 2.0.1 , I know some bugfixes are applied to 
2.0.3. 
However, I think this problem is still there in version 2.0.3 as I cannot 
find any differnce in the CVS tree (file of 5/2). 

The problem is that automatic accepted calendar items of a resource are 
generated with a start and date in 1970 : 

  <start-date>2006-01-01T00:00:01Z</start-date> 
  <end-date>2006-01-01T00:00:01Z</end-date> 


This is due to format problem in the time indications --> array of 
day/month/year instead of one timestring. 
Tracing this in the code, leads me to the resmgr.php script, routine 
iCalDate2Kolab : 

function iCalDate2Kolab($ical_date) 
{ 
    // $ical_date should be a timestamp 
    return gmstrftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ', $ical_date); } 


As indicated in the coment ,it expects a timestamp and not an array --> 
gives 1/1/1970 --> all-day calendar items of reousrce are not visible in 
Konsec konnector and do not show up in freebusy file. 

Is there a fix for this available?
