Description Patrick Ohly 2012-08-19 18:56:45 UTC

Please include a detailed description as well as steps to reproduce the bug.

The following vCard properties are in use by Memotoo:
X-SKYPE-USERNAME:skype id
X-EVOLUTION-ASSISTANT-TEL:assistant's phone
X-EVOLUTION-PARENT:parents
X-EVOLUTION-CHILDREN:children
X-SYNCEVOLUTION-FBURL:http://www.memotoo.com/contactsIFB.php?uid=73fc9832a3103ae78b53d8d39bee826b&key=TxYFKI8L3VCnaj3LreDUrn%2BcxdX7%2B2Fwxqaxc2TNQLkok%3D

None of them are currently detected by the Synthesis config.

We need to do three things:
1. figure out how we can have properties in the main configuration
   which are not supported by the active backend
2. add X-SKYPE-USERNAME, X-EVOLUTION-PARENT, X-EVOLUTION-CHILDREN,
   X-EVOLUTION-ASSISTANT-TEL; see https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3473
3. map between X-SYNCEVOLUTION-FBURL and FBURL, see X-[EVOLUTION-]SPOUSE

Adding the new properties without solving 1 has the undesirable effect that the
SyncML server gets wrong information about the client, because the DevInf would
include properties not supported by the data source.

ScheduleWorld also supports setting a timezone for the user, which is then sent
as the TZ property. This falls into the same category as X-SKYPE-USERNAME: we
want it in the field list and file backend, but not in Evolution (not supported
there).

We definitely need a better way to extend the definitions.

One idea was to add pre-processing of the XML configuration. An "if" clause could be added which enables elements only when the clause evaluates to true. Variables in the clause are booleans which are false unless explicitly set by the caller of the preprocessing code.

I think we have the infrastructure now to improve the vCard profiles, but I am not sure how important that really still is.
