You could replace your Roundcube Kolab plugins with those from our Gitlab so make sure you have the correct version. The kolab_storage::folder_hierarchy() is located in plugins/libkolab/lib/kolab_storage.php.

hi daniel-

i see the generate_randomdata() change you mention here: https://gitlab.awesome-it.de/kolab/roundcube-plugins/commit/1ccd08934b09dcde73a6aa8e4dcea34602cf16c3 - but when i do a git pull, i still see the old line in calendar.php. what am i doing wrong?

i’ve replaced the matching stock kolab plugins with the ones from your git repo:

is this what i should be doing?  replacing all of the eligible stock kolab plugins with the counterparts from your git repo?

i don’t see the kolab_storage::folder_hierarchy() message any longer, but i’m still having trouble when adding a caldav calendar, and getting "failed to save changes” when adding a caldav event.

i’ve set $rcmail_config['calendar_caldav_debug'] = true;, and now when adding a calendar, i see this in the console log:

[07-Feb-2014 23:43:34,000000 -0500]: caldav_driver: Resource "http://caldav.groupware.example.com/caldav.php/testuser/" has no collections.

[07-Feb-2014 23:43:35,000000 -0500]: caldav_driver: Sync period active: Assuming calendar "14" to be in sync.

when attempting to add an event, i see this:

[07-Feb-2014 23:44:30,000000 -0500]: caldav_driver: Initialize sync client for calendar 14
[07-Feb-2014 23:44:30,000000 -0500]: caldav_driver: Push new event to url /caldav.php/testuser//47A84CD9C7675E60A600B2120264A50D-68B2DA233748E9D1.ics
[07-Feb-2014 23:44:30,000000 -0500]: caldav_driver: Unkown error while creating caldav event, undo creating local event "15”!

one other side note - now that i’ve replaced the stock roundcube plugins with the ones from your git repo, the addressbook doesn’t load, and php logs this:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to protected method rcube_imap::sort_folder_list() from context 'kolab_storage' in /usr/share/awesome-it.de/roundcube-plugins/plugins/libkolab/lib/kolab_storage.php on line 667, referer: http://kolab.kvcc.edu/roundcubemail/?_task=calendar

thanks
