David, I have made some experiments with vObjects (vCard and iCal files). My routines are a little naive since they where more like hacks. If they were to be put to real work, they needed some better error handling and veryfication. But they are here: http://www.soapdog.org/vObjectPackage.rev Also included in the stack are the RFC for vCard and iCal which are both, very good reading. cheers andre ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Access Address Book or iCal
Mainly working on the interface at the moment to make it flexible to extend - hence the Geometry questions :) On 4 Nov 2005, at 18:48, Andre Garzia wrote: David, I also did some vObject library, if you want I can send to you... :D (the library needs more error checking) Would be great - the scripts I have for vCal, vCard are no way complete, aim to move onto that after Wednesday. Would be great to merge the two libraries - but see note below.

Wanna sell that library? That'd be quite a time-saver. Not aiming to do this as a money earner - but do aim to release it in a way which demonstrates how members of this community could work together on products which are to be released open source but which in they can also be paid to develop. So the Address Book will be released free for anyone to use on a non- commercial basis, while anyone using it for their company business or bundling it into commercial products will be required to pay a small fee. The product will have a fixed bounty roughly equivalent to the commercial cost of development. Once this bounty has been paid up, or at which ever point all the contributors agree, the code and interfaces will be released under an open source license - frankly i don't care which. Any developers contributing to the libraries or application design will be issued digital shares in the product - entitling them to a share in all revenues (if there are any from the product). Current Functionality 1) Customisable interface based on your own workflow 2) Reads and writes from Apple Address Book 3) Reads and writes to text files (XML or vCard) 4) You can extend the fields and data to be stored - dumped at the end of the notes field f using Apple Address Book. 3) Reads and writes to your own or a shared LDAP database (via web services) Planned functionality 1) Use your own database 2) Searchable skills database for Rev developers ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Access Address Book or iCal
On 21 feb Joel Guillod asked for this: Is there a way to access to the Mac OS X Address Book from Revolution? I found that RealBasic provides classes to do this so you can read from or write to the Address Book.

iCal uses an industry standard format - and it's XML. The files live in the library somewhere...

Maybe iCal uses XML internally, but one should not fiddle with those.
