Re: [Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar

Can anyone tell me what is the difference between the yellow arrow button and the blue arrow button? I guess the yellow one only synchronizes the currently selected profile whereas the blue one synchronizes all profiles... But if true, why the yellow button is a single direction arrow? Does it mean it only synchronize from the remote calendar and not to it?

I'm confused by this icon as it provides two different informations: the "1" seems to indicate that it will only synchronize one profile, the single arrow seems to indicate that it will only synchronize in one direction.

Oh, and I have an issue with the synchronization by itself as all events synchronized from Google will be delayed by one day in the N900 calendar. I double checked, the clock and date of the N900 are correctly set. I don't understand why everything is postponed.

Halp. :[

By the way, great app!

You are right: the arrow with the 1 will sync only one calendar. The other one will sync all calendars. However the direction of these arrows does not control the direction of sync. The rules that you created for each calendar determines the direction of the sync.
In other words those buttons control whether to run one rule or to run all rules.

Re: [Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar

Thank your for your quick answer uvatbc! The direction of the arrow is confusing but this is just appearance so!

Now I have to figure out why the synchronization delays my events in the N900!

Re: [Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar

So what is the new version? Can you put all the recent updates on in the first post? It is way easier to find that way..rather than reading through all the posts to find it.

Thanks

Just curious, but am I the only one who had the alarm setting for the calendar set to 0 minutes after a sync? I only just started using it.

the alarm time of events created on my n900 remain the same even after one sync or more. but the alarm time set by an event created in google calendar and synced to n900 is always set to 0.
another issue i realized is that full day events coming from google take 2 days on n900 after sync (e.g. "german holidays")

this app is really essential. thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

cheers!

I have the same problem. I've reported this issue some times ago, and just propose a temporary workaround ;) :
bug #12064

Re: [Announce] Erminig-NG: two-way synchronization Google Calendar <-> Fremantle Calendar

In your N900, you have to modify the file:

Code:

/opt/maemo/usr/share/erminig/erminig_core.py

replace the lines 264-265:

Code:

                        start_time += time.timezone

                        end_time += time.timezone

by these ones:

Code:

                        tz = time.timezone

                        if (time.daylight):

                                tz = time.altzone

                        start_time += tz

                        end_time += tz

                        #start_time += time.timezone

                        #end_time += time.timezone

I join to this post the modified file, so you can:
1- make a copy of the current file
2- overwrite it by the new one

The easiest way is to use ssh from another computer, but perhaps this can be not really friendly if this computer is not under Linux.

The other way is to install rootsh in the N900, and perform all the task from the terminal:

- download the file in your N900, and choose to put it in your main folder, not a sub-directory.

-then open a terminal, and go to the good directory:

Code:

cd MyDocs

- if you have put the file in a sub-directory, go into it:

Code:

cd mysub/folder/

- extract the file from the archive

Code:

tar -zxf erminig_bug12064.tar.gz

- now become root:

Code:

root

-make a copy of the current file of erminig

Code:

cp /opt/maemo/usr/share/erminig/erminig_core.py /opt/maemo/usr/share/erminig/erminig_core.py.bak

- go to the directory wich contains the new version:

Code:

cd /home/user/MyDoc

- and overwrite the file

Code:

cp -f erminig_core.py /opt/maemo/usr/share/erminig/erminig_core.py

Hope this help ;) .
