| |  Calendar Object Update Via Soap? Or ICS Somehow?
I've created an ICS file, and successfully put it into zimbra using the following URL:
http://mail.server.com/zimbra/user/$username/calendar?fmt=ics
It returns back a 1 if successful.
How do I modify this calendar entry in the future? SOAP right?
The SOAP documentation is very confusing and a little light.
My first guess is that I need to search for it? Then I can modify it using SOAP? Or is there any easy way to update it by sending a new ICS file?
<Envelope xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope\">
<Body>
<SearchCalendarResourcesRequest [attrs=\"a1,a2,a3\"] [sortBy=\"{sortBy}\"] [sortAscending=\"{sortAscending}\"] >
<searchFilter>
<conds [not=\"1|0\"] [or=\"1|0\"] >
[<cond> or <conds>]+
</conds> (exactly one instance of <conds>)
-- or --
<cond [not=\"1|0\"] attr=\"{attr}\" op=\"{op}\" value=\"{value}\" /> (exactly one instance of <cond>)
</searchFilter>
</SearchCalendarResourcesRequest>
</Body>
</Envelope> |

You can modify the calendar via: - the web client
- SOAP
- POST of a new .ics file
- CalDAV (work-in-progress)
I think that POSTing a new .ics file should replace the existing data. If it doesn't, please file a bug report. |

| | what makes the ICS unique?
Sorry, I'm a little new to ICS and SOAP. So as long as the UID from the ICS file is the same, it should just update the same event, and change the time/date/name/etc?
That makes updating a calender object easy enough, and what is the easiest way to remove it, if it needs to be deleted? SOAP? Or can I send a blank ICS file.
I appreciate your help! |

| | post a ics as admin user
Is there someway to post an ICS file then as the Zimbra admin user to anyone's calendar? Or does it have to be done via soap? |

| | Should work.
That should work, but you need to be sure to use the admin port and to use HTTPS if needed. |

Sorry just to clarify then.
http://mail.server.com/zimbra/user/$username/calendar?fmt=ics
should be
https://mail.server.com/zimbraAdmin/user/$username/calendar?fmt=ics
So I can send it in as the admin user, and it wont show on the admin's calendar, but it will show on whomever is listed as attendee's in the ICS? |

So yes, if you specify a regular user, the POST should work. |

https://mail.server.com:<adminport>/zimbraAdmin/service/user/<username>/calendar?fmt=ics
I've tried that and
https://mail.server.com:<adminport>/service/user/<username>/calendar?fmt=ics
Neither seem to work, where is the documentation on these URLs and what are available? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode | | Why Join?
