[turba] shares problem with sql addressbook - turning off use_shares turns off browsing.

Quoting liamr at umich.edu:

Yes, that is a totally seperate issue. The use_shares attribute  
determines if that particular source should have Horde_Share support  
enabled...which basically treats all address books as a share,  
allowing users to modify permissions, create/delete their own address  
books etc...  The 'no_sharing' conf parameter basically says, for  
every one of the user's shares across Horde, always use the default  
permissions and don't let user's change them.

If you are unable to browse any address books when use_shares is  
false, then that is a separate bug/issue. First, just to clarify, with  
use_shares set to false, then *only* the single, default, address book  
for each user will be visible.  Other users will not be able to see  
your personal address book.

You also might want to check to make sure there is nothing screwy  
going on with the addressbook pref.  You might try clearing that pref  
in your pref backend for a user that is having this issue and see if  
that clears it up.  My money would be on this being the problem.

Nope, just do as you already did, set 'use_shares' to false in the  
source config.


Thanks,
