[sync] Sync4j and Outlook

[Muskingum Web Manager]

Karsten, Jan,

Thanks for the suggestion! I was able to get it going with the following:

if ($a['DueDate'] != 0 && $a['DueDate'] != '45001231T230000Z') {

Thanks again for the advice, it was exactly the boost I needed on this!

I will probably have a few more questions as I continue working on this.

try simply

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

I was always wondering why sync4j used this strange "45001231T230000Z"  
timestamp to indicate an empty due field...

Cheers,
  Karsten
