[turba] How to use turba-import-vcards

[Luca Bertoncello]

Hi again,

I'm trying to import a vCard into Turba, using turba-import-vcards,
but I always get the error:

HORDE: [turba] Invalid address book

I tried with the Name (Test), the DAV-URL and the Hash. Some error...

Can someone say me what the evil this "source" means and how can I find it?

Thanks

It's the source ID, which might be the configuration key from
config/backends.php, but also the unique per-user ID, if the source is
a share.

I'm very sorry, but I really don't understand what do you mean...
I created an addressbook "Test" for my user, which has an Hash-ID.
This is surely NOT, since I tryed it and got an error...

In backends.php I tried localsql, but I get the same error.
Could you make concret an example?

Which error? This is how it's supposed to work.

Names are just labels. Use the address book id instead (random hash string).

This looks like a weird ID, are you sure it's correct?

Well, I really don't have any idea how an address book ID looks like...
I just copied it from Horde:

CardDAV-Abonnement-Adresse
https://www.mydomain.tld/rpc.php/addressbooks/lucabert/contacts~_phTjiDdxi4KDv2Nbq25nf7/

is it wrong? Where can I find the "right" ID?

Yes, this is wrong. Take it from the URL when using the address book
in the browser.

I really don't understand what you mean...
The URL is:

https://www.mydomain.tld/turba/?source=_phTjiDdxi4KDv2Nbq25nf7

So I think the ID should be _phTjiDdxi4KDv2Nbq25nf7, but if I try this ID I
always get the same error...
Could you give me an example, how this ID looks like?

This is the correct ID then. How exactly does your call look like
again? It's very confusing if you keep stripping all of this thread's
history.
Did you specify the user as the second argument? Does they have write
permission, i.e. is that the source's owner?

Well, I call the script so:

/home/www/horde/turba-import-vcards _phTjiDdxi4KDv2Nbq25nf7 lucabert
< /tmp/Luca\ Bertoncello.vcf

As you see, the second argument ist the user (lucabert).
I created the address book using the user "lucabert". How can I check the
permission?

No need to, if this is the share's owner.

Is it possible, too? To double check it...

Only if you entered the username incorrectly on the command line. Or
if something is broken in the script.

Well, since I use the username "lucabert" since ~30 years, I think it's
correct...
And I triple-check it, too...

I believe, there is something broken in the script, unfortunately...
Maybe you know about where I can search for the error?

You may have username hooks or other user name mangling set up in
Horde, so that the internal Horde name (that you use with this script)
don't match the user name that you enter in the login form.

Well, I let Horde authenticate via IMAP...
I don't have any hook (or better: I cannot find any hooks.php file or other
settings with "hook" in the name).

Where can I search for this hook?

I really don't know why, but...

file turba/lib/Turba.php, line 664:

try {
return $GLOBALS['injector']->getInstance('Turba_Shares')->listShares(
$GLOBALS['registry']->getAuth(),
array(
'attributes' => $owneronly ? $GLOBALS['registry']->getAuth() : null,
'perm' => $permission
)
);
} catch (Horde_Share_Exception $e) {
Horde::log($e, 'ERR');
return array();
}

it seems that $GLOBALS['registry']->getAuth() returns an empty string if
called from command line...
If I write:

$GLOBALS['registry']->setAuth('lucabert');

just before the lines all works correct...

A very strange idea: since I authenticate in Horde using IMAP, maybe should
the script authenticate via IMAP, too and it can't?

Well, maybe I found the problem, or at least a possible solution...

In the file turba-import-vcards I have this:

require_once $baseDir . 'lib/Application.php';
Horde_Registry::appInit('turba', array('cli' => true));

If I add:

Horde_Registry::appInit('imp', array('cli' => true));

too, it works correct, so maybe the problem is really that I authenticate
with IMAP using IMP and the importer does NOT call IMP to authenticate the
user...

Your opinion?

You cannot authenticate to IMP because you don't have the user's
password to authenticate at the IMAP backend. So this all doesn't make
much sense. If any, the opposite behaviour would be explainable.
Strange.

Well, but without the line I added it doesn't work, and with the line it does
work... ;)

Now I have to understand how I can purge the address book before the import...

Strange.

I created right now a ticket with the BugFix in turba-import-vcards and an
enhancement to purge previous data on import.

https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/14789

I hope it will be soon imported in the main code and helps other people with
my same problem.

I try to debug the application, but I not really understand the problem...
If I display the $cfgSources I can use, I just see "favourites". No other
backend...
If I try to import to favourites I get __another__ error (permission denied,
as expected, since the favourites are read-only).

I really think, I have some wrong configuration in Horde and/or in the
permission, but I really can't think __which__ configuration/permission is
wrong.

Can someone help me?

Thanks a lot!
