Summary | 0002718: Shared Calendars not automatically refreshed when events are added/updated/deleted | ||||
Description | We have 2 calendar-users/calendars that are shared with other users. Whenever someone invites one of these calendar-users/calendars to an event, the event is automatically added to the calendar (as it should be). The problem is, the default calendar refresh interval for all Thunderbird+Lightning+Integrator calendars is 30 minutes. So, when a user adds an event to one of these calendars through the invite mechanism, no one sees the event/update immediately, and in fact it may be up to 30 minutes before some of these users see the update. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce |
Yes, the user can manually click the 'Sync' button - except that many users hide the calendar toolbar - and besides, many of them simply won't think to do that. | ||||
Additional Information | What I'd love to see is a calendar option in the Permissions dialog to: 'Force refresh for this user/group when this calendar is modified.' | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
Sorry, but if you need shorter refreshes, why don't you set refreshes to say 5 minutes? |
|
Thanks Christian. I thought it was obvious that, yes, I could set a shorter refresh interval (since I noted the default was 30 minutes), but that is completely irrelevant to this bug (or possibly feature request), which was summed up in the 'Additional Information' field as: "What I'd love to see is a calendar option in the Permissions dialog to: 'Force refresh for this user/group when this calendar is modified.'" Do you not see the advantages of this? Users who 'see' these calendars would t hen see changes immediately, instead of within $Refresh_Interval minutes. So, by all means, change this to 'enhancement' if you like. I'd do this myself, but since I am unable to edit the bug details/summary after creation, it is impossible for me to adjust these myself: |
|
I changed it to Feature request. And I see only minor benefits. And I see drawbacks. |
|
There's no way to "Force refresh for this user/group when this calendar is modified." The refresh interval is used to verify for changes, there's no other way Lightning can be notified about changes right now. |
|
Thanks Ludo - if this cannot be done without changes to Lightning, then that is what it is... Out of curiosity... what would it take? This would basically be some kind of 'push' function, so, is this purely a Lightning issue? Or does Cal/CardDAV protocol support push capability (like Activesync)? |
|
There's no standard around that. Apple has created an extension around XMPP to receive notifications: SOGo doesn't support it, nor does Lightning. If Lightning would support it, we would for sure consider adding support for that in SOGo. |
|
Please do not assume that everyone uses calendars the way you use them. You simply cannot claim that "No one needs immediate calendar changes.', because you cannot speak for everyone else. This would be very valuable for us, considering that rather than go down the road of the complexity of 'resource users' and setting up 'resources', we simply set up special calendar-users, and let people invite those calendar users in order to add things to these calendars (that are otherwise read-only for these same users). And you would NOT need to have persistent connections to the calendars, but yes, you would have to have just one additional server process whose sole job was to watch for calendar changes and push these out. |
|
@Ludo A little googling reveals that apparently Cal/CardDAV protocol does support PUSH, so the only question then, is, what would it take to get PUSH working with Thunderbird+Lightning - or maybe it works already (since it is a protocol thing) and just no one has tried it? |
|
Have a look at my comment #6922. If you've found something else, please share it but I doubt there's something else. |
|
@Ludo - ah, sorry, I was working on that post while you were posting the above... Ok, indeed, the reference I had found was about Apple, and more reading revealed it was an apple only implementation... sorry... Ok, well, what aboiy PHP-PUSH-2? https://github.com/dupondje/PHP-Push-2 This is an ActiveSync reimplementation of ZPUSH that supports Card/CalDAV and has been (supposedly) specifically tested with SOGo. Or would this also require Lightning to support it? |
|
I don't understand your previous question. PHP-Push-2 is just a AS implementation that can connect to a CalDAV server for the calendar parts of AS. Even if AS has "push" concept built-in, like our implementation has, that doesn't mean we don't poll at X interval within a tight loop to see changes while maintaining the HTTP connection open, just like Christian said. |
