6.12 manage contact subscriptions

[tariqf]

Hi I'm using ox 6.12 and as per the release notes I'm looking to subscribe contact folders to google for sync. I cannot see the "subscription" tab when I right-click and properties on an existing contact folder as instructed in the release docs.

Please can someone tell me how to activate the subscription tab for my contact folders?

Thanks

[Martin Heiland]

Hi,

Subscriptions and publications need to be activated separately through the command line since they are beta features.

/opt/open-xchange/sbin/changecontext -c 1 -A oxadminmaster -P secret --access-publication on --access-subscription on

This will enable those two features for all users of the context. Relogin after the change has been performed.

Greetings

[tariqf]

ok thanks that command worked however even if I log out and back in I still ahve no subscription tab. Any ideas?

[Markus Wagner]

Have you installed the open-xchange-publish-json and open-xchange-subscribe-json packages?

[tariqf]

ok thanks for your quick response, I installed both of those and restarted admin and groupware. Logged out and back in and still no joy! I must be getting closer though! What should I try now? I already re-ran the command to enable the modules.

[Martin Heiland]

please post a list of all installed open-xchange packages.

It seems, that some subscribe and publish packages are missing. Please install all subscribe and publish packages.

[tariqf]

Ok I installed these and now it works!

open-xchange-publish-infostore-online
open-xchange-publish-microformats
open-xchange-subscribe-crawler
open-xchange-subscribe-microformats
open-xchange-templating

Thanks for all your help.

one more thing although I now have the tabs they don't work anyway! e.g. if I enter my google settings for contact sync it says incorrect password has been entered even though it's the correct username and password! Also the facebook sync does not give any error but does not actually do anything!

Oh well I guess it's marked as beta in the gui but it is not marked as beta in the 6.12 release announcement which is confusing.

[Martin Heiland]

Googlemail and Facebook subscriptions generally work. Since we want to get feedback from users, we don't release beta features that are not working. Have you selected "Refresh" from the panel after entering your facebook subscription? Please check the log file if an error occurs.

Greetings

[tariqf]

Yes the error saying wrong password comes up when I press the refresh icon. I've attached a screenshot of the error. The only thing I can see in my openxchange log is repetitions of these two entries;

Hallo,

ich habe die gleiche Fehlermeldung bei Google. passwort ist falsch.

[Martin Heiland]

Can you please check if there is any entry at the log file at the time this error is shown at the user interface?

Thanks!

[tariqf]

hi it seems I had to add a googlemail account and now it works perfect! previously I had used google contacts without having a google mail account but obviously this needs the google mail account to exist too.

Thanks for all the help.
