Turba 1.2 ships with a default address book schema that is very well suited for synchronization with other address book clients. The steps described in this page are no longer necessar.y

Turba Configuration suitable for SyncML

Turba with an SQL backend

The sql script below provides a sql database schema and source.php snippet to make SyncML work better with Turba address books. Run the sql script to create the table. You have to rename/delete/backup your original turba_objects table first.

You also have to use the sources.php below or paste it into your existing sources.php (in the turba/conf directory)

Here's the sql script:

CREATE TABLE `turba_objects` (

 `object_id` varchar(32) NOT NULL,

 `owner_id` varchar(255) NOT NULL,

 `object_type` varchar(255) NOT NULL default 'Object',

 `object_uid` varchar(255),

 `object_members` blob,

 `object_lastname` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',

 `object_firstname` varchar(255),

 `object_alias` varchar(32),

 `object_nameprefix` varchar(255),

 `object_email` varchar(255),

 `object_homestreet` varchar(255),

 `object_homecity` varchar(255),

 `object_homeprovince` varchar(255),

 `object_homepostalcode` varchar(255),

 `object_homecountry` varchar(255),

 `object_workstreet` varchar(255),

 `object_workcity` varchar(255),

 `object_workprovince` varchar(255),

 `object_workpostalcode` varchar(255),

 `object_workcountry` varchar(255),

 `object_homephone` varchar(25),

 `object_workphone` varchar(25),

 `object_cellphone` varchar(25),

 `object_fax` varchar(25),

 `object_pager` varchar(25),

 `object_title` varchar(255),

 `object_company` varchar(255),

 `object_notes` text,

 `object_url` varchar(255),

 `object_pgppublickey` text,

 `object_smimepublickey` text,

 `object_freebusyurl` varchar(255),

 `object_role` varchar(255),

 `object_category` varchar(80),

 `object_photo` blob,

 `object_blobtype` varchar(10),

 `object_bday` varchar(10),

   PRIMARY KEY(object_id)

);

CREATE INDEX turba_owner_idx ON turba_objects (owner_id);

GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE ON turba_objects TO horde@localhost;

And here's the php code for turba/conf/sources.php. Replaces the existing $cfgSources['localsql'].

$cfgSources['localsql'] = array(

   'title' => _("My Addressbook"),

   'type' => 'sql',

   // The default connection details are pulled from the Horde-wide SQL

   // connection configuration.

   //

   // The old example illustrates how to use an alternate database

   // configuration.

   //

   // New Example:

   'params' => array_merge($GLOBALS['conf']['sql'], array('table' => 'turba_objects')),

   'map' => array(

       '__key' => 'object_id',

       '__owner' => 'owner_id',

       '__type' => 'object_type',

       '__members' => 'object_members',

       '__uid' => 'object_uid',

       'name' => array('fields' => array('firstname', 'lastname'),

                       'format' => '%s %s'),

       'firstname' => 'object_firstname',

       'lastname' => 'object_lastname',

       'name_prefix' => 'object_nameprefix',

       'email' => 'object_email',

       'alias' => 'object_alias',

       'homeStreet'  => 'object_homestreet',

       'homeCity'     => 'object_homecity',

       'homeProvince'     => 'object_homeprovince',

       'homePostalCode' => 'object_homepostalcode',

       'homeCountry' => 'object_homecountry',

       'workStreet' => 'object_workstreet',

       'workCity'     => 'object_workcity',

       'workProvince'     => 'object_workprovince',

       'workPostalCode' => 'object_workpostalcode',

       'workCountry' => 'object_workcountry',

       'homePhone' => 'object_homephone',

       'workPhone' => 'object_workphone',

       'cellPhone' => 'object_cellphone',

       'fax' => 'object_fax',

       'pager' => 'object_pager',

       'title' => 'object_title',

       'company' => 'object_company',

       'birthday' => 'object_bday',

       'website' => 'object_url',

       'notes' => 'object_notes',

       'pgpPublicKey' => 'object_pgppublickey',

       'smimePublicKey' => 'object_smimepublickey',

       'freebusyUrl' => 'object_freebusyurl'

   ),

   'search' => array(

       'name',

       'email'

   ),

   'strict' => array(

       'object_id',

       'owner_id',

       'object_type',

   ),

   'export' => true,

   'browse' => true,

   'use_shares' => true,

);

Here is a first migration script, nothing spectacular nor perfect but better than nothing :

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_firstname VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_nameprefix VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_homecity VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_homeprovince VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_homepostalcode VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_homecountry VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_workcity VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_workprovince VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_workpostalcode VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_workcountry VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_pager VARCHAR(25);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_role varchar(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_category varchar(80);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_photo blob;

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_blobtype varchar(10);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_bday varchar(10);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects ADD   object_url varchar(255);

//Replace name of the "full" field (definitively not perfect)

ALTER TABLE turba_objects CHANGE object_homeaddress object_homestreet VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects CHANGE object_workaddress object_workstreet VARCHAR(255);

ALTER TABLE turba_objects CHANGE object_name object_lastname VARCHAR(255);

Turba with an LDAP backend

The default LDAP configuration does not include a mapping for the firstname attribute. Fortunately the LDAP schemas do provide such a field. Simply add the following to the field maps in your sources.php to any LDAP source definitions:

"firstname" => "givenname",

One caveat: Since the LDAP driver stores contacts using their full name as the object key, this will necessitate duplicately entering information in Turba. You will see that three fields, First Name, Last Name, and Name are all required fields. SyncML will handle this properly and automatically (by concatenating the users two name fields), but web users will see all three fields blank. There may be alternative workarounds to this issue depending on your environment.
