Since such a plugin doesn't exist, +I'll show here a hack which modifies baikal to just provide the specific principal +property '{http://inf-it.com/ns/dav/}settings' which is needed by caldavzap. + +The following steps apply to baikal 0.2.7 but should be applicable to any +sabredav based server. + +1. modify your sql databse: +add a text type database entry to the principals table which will hold the settings. +This can be done by sql commands or by using a gui frontend for your database. +I've named this text field 'inf_it_settings'. +Example: the sqlite structure of the principals table should then look like this: +CREATE TABLE 'principals' ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY ASC, uri TEXT, email TEXT, + displayname TEXT, vcardurl TEXT, inf_it_settings TEXT, UNIQUE(uri) ) + +2. apply the patch baikal-flat-0.2.7-for-caldavzap.diff to patch the baikal server. +This patch does two things: + +a) it modifies vendor/sabre/dav/lib/Sabre/DAVACL/PrincipalBackend/PDO.php to map +requests for the property '{http://inf-it.com/ns/dav/}settings' to the newly created +database field inf_it_settings (see above 1.) + +b) it modifies vendor/sabre/dav/lib/Sabre/DAVACL/Principal.php to give write +access to principal properties ('write' includes 'write-properties'). + |
