X-MOZILLA-SYNCID
ivo
I'am trying to create an extension for calendar/sunbird. To do that I
need an attribute in the ical files like X-FUNC-PROJECTID. This is not
possible at the moment seeing that the xpcomm interface does not support
custom attributes. Will this be possible in the future?
In the meanwhile I am using X-MOZILLA-SYNCID to store my information.
What is this attribute used for? Will it be available in future releases?
kind regard,

the syncid might be used to store the id the event has on the handheld.
It is currently not used.
But if you are writing a sync extension, i would really recommond to use
trunk builds. The xpcom interfaces changed a lot after sb0.2. writing
for sb0.2 would mean you have to start all over for 0.3
Also, join us in #calendar to discuss syncing. There are aleady some
docs and lots of thoughts.

used to couple events with external projects. I just need an attribute
to store the id used to identify a project in a database.
Do you perhaps know if the xpcomm interfaces in the trunk builds allow a
custum attribute that I can use?
As soon as I've downloaded an irc-client I'll join you.

Using the setProperty method on calIItemBase should allow cause anything
you put there to be serialized into ICS at the appropriate time.

You can easily pick up the "lightweight" Chatzilla for
Firefox/Suite/etc. project/extension for IRC use if you have a desire
without needing to grab compiled code.

but the only effect that has is an error saying that gEvent.setProperty
is not a function. I've tried:
gEvent.setProperty(getFieldValue( "projects-field", "value" ));
gEvent.setProperty(getFieldValue( "projects-field", "value" ),
"X-FUNC-PROJECTID");
and
gEvent.setProperty("X-FUNC-PROJECTID", getFieldValue( "projects-field",
"value" ));
I dont know if we are talking about the same object. I'm making my
changes in eventDialog.js in the calendar.jar. I cant find what class
the gEvent Object belongs to.
Do you know what class this is and perhaps tell me how to set an
attribute for this object(or point me in the direction of some more
documentation)?

I don't see a gEvent object at all in the current trunk code. Are you
sure you're not using an old build?

is what events on the current trunk implement. Note that the interface
inherits from calIItemBase in the same directory.

code has really changed comparing to that. How do I get the current
source? The instructions on
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird_build.html are for the
0.2 branch.

of an event. Does calIEvent.idl support custom attributes?

On the referenced page are both instructions to build Sunbird from the
trunk and from the 0.2 branch. Please take a closer look.

oeICalEventImpl.cpp is the impl of an event on the 0.2 branch.
calIEvent does support custom properties using the setProperty() stuff
that it inherits from calIItemBase. Both of those are implemented in
JavaScript code that lives in calendar/base/src/.
