#231 Sif and Vcard synchronisation

[Fabien Carrion]

I am not able to synchronise the calendar with yahoo calendar, because calendar are only synchronised using sif vcard. The yahoo connector only support vcard format.

It would be nice to have:
otcontactVcard: contact synchronisation in the vcard format
otcontactSif: contact synchronisation in the sif format
otcalendarVcard: calendar synchronisation in the vcard format
otcalendarSif: calendar synchronisation in the sif format
ottaskVcard: task synchronisation in the vcard format
ottaskSif: task synchronisation in the sif format

Thanks

Fabien

Dear Fabien, the work I was contracted to do was specifically and Outlook connector, using the Funambol Outlook plugin, and one connector format. As the FO Outlook plugin only supports SIF for Calendar, we went that way.

However, should you wish to expand the support to VCard, it should be fairly simple. As the Funambol foundation library already offers methods for converting VCard->CalendarItem. And TaskSyncHandler works with any CalendarItem.

This is not a high priority right now. If you have some time later, you can take a look at the sif vcard support. If there are any problems with the existing vcard integration, please create a separate issue, and assign it to Cameron.
