[horde] Horde 6 - Groups error

[Ralf Lang]

Hi Nels, a potential fix for the groups topic is this:
https://github.com/horde/Group/pull/4

For the Turba issue I need more research as I cannot really pinpoint this.

The Turba LDAP driver already joins multi-valued LDAP attributes into
strings in _getResults(), so it's not
  the same array-vs-string pattern as the Group bug. The form rendering
chain uses (string) casts, which would show "Array" rather than blank
output if an
  array somehow got through.

  Could you help narrow this down?

  - Are all fields blank, or only certain types (addresses, phone numbers,
email)?
  - Does the LDAP source have photo/jpegPhoto attributes for these contacts?
  - What does your $cfgSources LDAP configuration look like (the map and
tabs sections in particular)?

  That would help me trace where the display breaks.
  Thank you again for testing and reporting — and thanks to Jean Charles
for the original PR

I will also think about a helper/tool to make it easier for admins to
identify permission problems with LDAP. But I don't think you ran into a
permission problem here.
