[turba] Managing Turba objects

[Luca Bertoncello]

Hi list!

Since I have the problem to manage vCards with many attributes, that Horde
does __NOT__ manage, I decided to write a little PHP-Script to sync data
between Horde and DAV, maintaining the extra attributes on the DAV-Server.

Well, I wrote the script and I can test it with some files, but now I need to
continue my work using the contacts I saved in Horde.

Unfortunately I really can't understand how to manage the contacts... :(
The functions are mostly uncommented, no words about Objects, API and so on,
no downloadable API documentation (all links redirect to download of the
source code?!?).
The Horde-Framework is really complex, and I can't invest two months to try
understanding how it works without any documentation...

So my question: can someone help me?

I need:
- searching for a Turba Object
- save an object (new one or already present)
- delete an object
- load an object
- parse the object
- retrieve a vCard of the object

Thanks a lot for all can help me with example, docs and encouragement... ;)
I'll send the script the ML as OpenSource as soon it will be complete and
almost tested.

Bye

Luca,

I share your grief with hard-to-get Horde documentation - at large.
In this case, however, all the information you need seems to be readily
available:
https://fossies.org/dox/horde-groupware-5.2.22/classTurba__Api.html
The fossies server is of course just for showing off the doxygen tool. You
probably want to start with building your local documentation for whichever
Horde version you have.

Good luck to you

Thank you very much for your answer.

Maybe can you help me again...

I wrote a little test script to retrieve all contacts in an addressbook.
Problem: I can only get some data using:

$results = $registry->call('contacts/listUids', array('sources' =>
array('wwjt5jzQBHOo8sUGli7BkdQ')));

But so I get a list of UIDs...
Unfortunately, to get the contact data I need the "objectId", not the
"objectUid", and I didn't found any function to convert it or to
search the contacts using the UID...
Do you have a suggestion what can I do?

My little code:

$results = $registry->call('contacts/listUids', array('sources' =>
array('wwjt5jzQBHOo8sUGli7BkdQ')));
foreach($results as $r)
{
$x = $registry->call('contacts/getContact', array('source' =>
'wwjt5jzQBHOo8sUGli7BkdQ', 'objectUid' => $r));
}

What works is:

$x = $registry->call('contacts/getContact', array('source' =>
'wwjt5jzQBHOo8sUGli7BkdQ', 'objectId' => '29dx3S0htUR7YLA6o3cnquN'));

the last parameter is the objectId of the contact, but I can't "find"
it using the API...

Thanks for your help!

Use can use either contacts/getContacts (note the plural) to retrieve
all contacts from a single source, OR you can use contacts/export to
get a contact by UID - set $contentType to 'array' to retrieve a hash
of contact properties - unless of course you want one of the other
formats.

Ach! Now it works!!!

Thanks a lot!
Now I can continue my script!
