KOrganizer / KO/Pi (KOrganizer Platform independent)

[bluedevils]

revdjenk,

The only thing I hoping for in the alarms is the flashing LED light to tell me I missed an alarm.  Useful in noisy environments,.

zical is on the Z.  You extract the file from zical through an interface (wget) on the Z.  cradle or not.  No interaction with the PC.

Hi all,

I\'ve been curious: is it possible to sync this software with a web server?  The idea I\'ve been interested in is to be able to view/add/edit/delete on a webpage and sync with it, so I can always browse my calendar and todo\'s regardless of what platform I\'m on.  Are there iCal compatible open source projects for web that perhaps can use unison or rsync with to do all of this?

Thanks,
steven

Have you tried Mozilla\'s calendar? It uses the iCalendar as a native format.
Moreover Mozilla supports various platforms

korganizer has a web export

http://korganizer.kde.org/features/webexport.html

But I don\'t think you can sync through the web interface.

Reading the mozilla website seems to indicate that their calendar is in beta

Yes, I commented on this on the tkc mailing-list and Shawn promptly shut it if off again. I find it ridiculous they\'ve not implemented syncing or any of the other stuff they promised after several months. WTF? One guy alone has been pumping out significantly improved versions of KO/PI whereas tkc seems to be pre-occupied with writing new programs to continue what looks like a scam to me. It takes them weeks to implement the most trivial change whereas zautrix has fixed bugs and implemented simple requests in a day. Don\'t even start on IMAP.

That reminds me, THANK YOU VERY MUCH ZAUTRIX for making my Zaurus something more than a (in retrospect) dumb impulse buy.

I guess it is time to look at the Opie AB.  I will (hope??) that I might finally be able to use something from the $60 I wasted on tkc apps, if the pim import/convert tool will get my Sharp DTM data back to XML.  I\'ve stll got all the Sharp PIM installed since that is how Proto packaged it with the ROM.

Only reluctance is that the Sharp mail looks at the dtm addressbook for e-mail addresses.  Ok, so anyone have Opie mail 1.0 or 1.0.3 working with tkcROM and does it use the Opie XML addressbook?  I only need pop3 now, (bought tckMail when I needed SSL/IMAP).  I just refuse to use tkc stuff out of principle now, and I don\'t want anyone who sees my Zaurus to want to buy tkc (tkc is pretty, but all sizzle with no steak).

KOrg/Pi is just so incredible and fixes/improvements really happen.  I just cannot say enough about how I appreciate your work zautrix!

The KCal Export and Mozilla Calendar weren\'t quite what I was thinking (though they\'re both interesting in themselves).  I thought about it some more, and the closest thing I can think of was back in the day when Palm had their Palm.com site that you could sync up to (yahoo used to have it too).  You could enter/edit data on the web.   It\'d be a nice solution for me as I\'d rather not have to sync up to multiple systems (Win2k at work, Linux at home), I could just sync to a webserver, and access the data from either home at work via web (I don\'t mind the web interface).  Looking around, I found:

http://phpicalendar.sourceforge.net/nuke/

from Apple\'s iCal page.  It\'d be neat to be able to sync with this guy! =)   (Something to put down on the \"hack in my freetime\" list)

Thanks,
steven

I wasn\'t going to say this, but outlook has a web interface.  We use it at work, but you can\'t sync just make and edit entries.

The phpicalendar app above is cool for viewing your .ics file from Ko/Pi. Haven\'t figured out a good way to sync it yet. Also, I downloaded several .ics calendar files from .... gulp.... Apple... but there was a bit of funkyness going on with the dates.

I haven\'t researched enough but are there several .ics formats or is there an way to easily re-format .ics files for Ko/Pi?

I also have tried every pim available for the Zaurus, including a few bucks spent at TKC. Ko/Pi is the best by far.

I did, however have a couple quirks with it. When I restart the machine, Ko/Pi would start up. Also, if you use fastload, you cannot copy over the .ics file. If you unload fastload, you can update to your hearts content.
Ko/Pi is great with fastload, but fairly useless without.

All these issues were with korganizer_1.6.0d_arm.ipk. I will try korganizer_1.6.1a_arm.ipk tonight. Thanks again for the great app.

Fastload is what causes KO/Pi to startup when Qtopia re/starts.  Sharp did some tricks I understand that kept their fastloaded PIMS from that behavior. (old DevNet discussion that I cannot find)

I have KO/Pi with fastload and it syncs just fine for me.(??)

[revdjenk]

Yep, it is me, again.

Thanks for all your help! Zical worked... Ladybug\'s command line worked... I had been selecting the calendar.ics file all along! Duh!

Now I see!  I even use the What\'s Next as an opening screen....
So I can dump my Sharp PIM, right? What replaces the addressbook, now?

Hi, super newbi here. Can someone please tell me where the shell is to be found in the zaurus.
I\'m trying to use LadyBug\'s method of syncing KO/PI, using ZiCal.

Thanks in advance.

Manfly
Use the terminal program; which you  may have to download, see killefiz.de/zaurus

[slocaus]

@manfly2000
If you want a really nice configurable terminal, get the Opie Embedded Console.

Thanks guys. I\'m now syncing, sort of, with Outlook. I can import from outlook but I can\'t seem to import from my Zaurus to Outlook.  Any ideas?

Thanks

[lardman]

Outlook is able to import iCal and iCard files. I think it\'s in the menu: File ] Import & Export

Si

Which folder contains the Zaurus information.  Sorry, can\'t seem to find it.

Thanks in advance.
