[sync] Sync4j and Outlook

[Muskingum Web Manager]

Update:

I've updated my implementations of SyncML and iCalendar modules...

1. At this point, the issue with 1 [below] is correct--- the proper days are
synchronized now, EXCEPT, Tasks with no due date display as being due
"December 31, 1969."  Any thoughts on why?

So far I have been toying with this idea, but ('DUE', 0) only makes the date
September 16, 1970 instead of 12-31-1969:

        if ($a['DueDate'] == 0) {
            $vtodo->setAttribute('DUE', '0');
        } elseif ($a['DueDate'] != '45001231T230000Z') {
            $vtodo->setAttribute('DUE',
$iCal->_parseDateTime($a['DueDate']));
        }

2. I am still having the issue with determining what to use to get the
Freebusy "Status". Again, any thoughts [based on notes below]?

Thanks for any assistance!

[Sorry, I used the wrong subject line before.]

Greetings!

I'm working on Sync4j.php for my environment so that I can use it with
Outlook users and Horde. I'm using Sync4j 3.0.14, which is working great
with only two issues:

1. The _parseDateTime function doesn't seem to be setting the right "Due
Date" (on Tasks) or "All Day" (on Calendar) stamps. In most cases, it's
setting them at least a day ahead of when they should. For example, I set a
task with a Due Date of today, and the sync set it as yesterday. Any ideas
what to check for? (Or at least what additional info I can provide?)

2. For calendar events, I'm having a hard time determing what to use to make
the "Freebusy" status sync. I'm sure it should be something like...

$vEvent->setAttribute('STATUS', $a['Status']);

...but I'm not sure what should be set for $a['Status']. Again, any ideas or
suggestions?
