RE: [Phpgroupware-developers] Palm sync conduits for phpgw

[Brian Johnson]

I believe the conduits you mention use the pilot-link package and the one
I'm doing uses the Coldsync packages - I'm not a programmer but I don't
think the conduits are interchangable/compatible

I started with Coldsync since there were two conduits that were already done
that sounded close to what I wanted to do.

Since I've been playing with it, I think there are some definite advantages
to Coldsync over pilot-link

I would love to skip all the SQL code stuff and access the php system
directly, but I need to know how to do it from Perl

Again, I'm not a programmer, just someone who wants a set of conduits to
phpgroupware and has spent some time to get a good start on it.

Hi Brian, I mailed you earlier, and have got the latest copy of your
conduit, but just haven't gotten the time to try it yet ...

Ideally, the conduit should not neet so use SQL statements (thus
requiring an SQL account, and potentially avoiding the phpgw account and
ACL system). Would it not be possible to use either the SyncML or
xml-rpc interfaces available on phpgw? This would be the cleanest method
(I think), and the option that could share code with other clients.

This would also make it multi-user friendly I think.

This shouldn't really be necessary

Maybe one of the developers who has worked on SyncML or xml-rpc can
point an API, or some docs?
