--- Comment #6 from pohly <[email protected]> 2010-09-03 09:22:57 PDT --- I have code ready for review by Synthesis which adds the necessary functionality (suppress parameters based on rules) and verified that it solves the problem, without breaking useful functionality (syncing X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT between SyncEvolution instances). The changes are still in branches of libsynthesis resp. syncevolution at this point in time. commit dc8ebbb94bff9b42900aebfd9de4254fb022b158 Author: Patrick Ohly <[email protected]> Date: Thu Sep 2 11:54:36 2010 +0200 Nokia phones: avoid data loss in two-way sync due to X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT (MBC #2566) Sending the X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT parameter to a Nokia phone when updating an existing contact confuses the phone such that it drops the phone number or email that had the parameter; the initial import was okay. Reported for Nokia N81, E72, root-caused on a N97 mini. Sending the X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT has very little value except when talking to another SyncEvolution instance. All other SyncML peers are expected to simply ignore the parameter, so there is no point in sending it in the first place. This is the solution implemented in this patch. A "rule" parameter of the <parameter> element that defines X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT declares that the parameter is to be ignored when parsing or generating vCards, except when the peer is known to be SyncEvolution. A remote peer is detected by the new 00_syncevolution.xml remote rule. Locally, the parameter needs to be enabled when talking to Evolution (evolution.xml) or to files which can also store the parameter (all.xml). The later case is important for a SyncEvolution HTTP server with file storage. Running "./client-test Client::Sync::vcard30::testItems" against such a SyncEvolution server confirmed that without all.xml, the X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT got lost, which also confirms that the rule mechanism works. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.meego.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug. _______________________________________________ Syncevolution-issues mailing list [email protected] http://lists.syncevolution.org/listinfo/syncevolution-issues
