[horde] Issues About Advanced Search (kronolith classic)

[stephan at admin.nabira.de]

Hi all,

before I start, I feel it necessary to mention, that you have done a  
great job on Horde4 and I'm really willing to upgrade my production  
site installation as soon as possible. Unfortunatly some bits and  
pieces don't fit up til now, but I'm confident you will get it working.

So lets go right into it:
Unfortunately there is no Advanced Search in dynamic-kronolith, so I  
cumbersomely have to change to the classic view for this. (BTW: It  
would be great if Advanced Search someday comes to dyn. kronolith.)

In the Advanced Search (Horde 4.02, Kronolith 3.02) some things are  
terribly messed up:

* In Horde3 it was possible to leave blank all the fields (except  
start and end dates) to get all events of a certain time period. This  
does not function any more. I believe its a bug, since I do not even  
get a line: "No events found" but an completely resetted (search dates  
are set back to "today until tomorrow") input form. It is not even  
possible to search for all events with a certain location or  
description without setting a title to search for. This completly  
negates the use of the Advanced Search.
No suspicious log entries where written to my horde.log or  
php-error.log regarding this.

* The "graphical date picker"-icon is not linked to anywhere. In  
Horde3 it called a JS
... <a href="#" onclick="openCalendar(...
in Horde4 there is not even a <A>-Tag around the icon.
I strongly believe this is also a bug since the icon is there.
No suspicious log entries where written to my horde.log or  
php-error.log regarding this, either.

* Since Horde4 does no longer know about categories but uses tags, I  
understand I cannot search for categories any more, but it seems not  
unlikely to me that someone would like to search for events tagged  
with a certain tag. Since I used Kronolith (and the Advanced Search)  
in Horde3 to create my monthly billing depending on the customer (each  
one a category), I desperatly need this functionality. I hereby would  
like to file a feature request for this.

Please tell me, if I'm ought to create Tickets for these three  
reports/requests. I did not find anything filed on these in the horde  
ticketing system by now.

Regards,
Stephan



PS: In the vincinity of the tests I did for this my logs showed the  
following line about 50 times in row, although I believe it does not  
have to do something with the search problems.
