WebDAV folders are not displayed (as books)

Werner, December 09, 2010 11:14

When I create folders (collections) on the server they are not shown as books after synching.

When I press sync, I see in the log on the server that a PROPFIND is done for all collections and collection content. Non-collection resources are retrieved with individual GET operations. A corresponding dialog is displayed on the iPad listing the files being downloaded. However, when the sync has been finished, the downloaded folders and files are not shown in notebooks.

What has to be done to make folders created on the server available as books in notebooks?

The best option to see what is going on would be to take a look into Notebooks' log files as well. Here is how you enable it:

- at the top level of Notebooks, create a new note with the title "Notebooks Log" and restart
- when you now sync, Notebooks writes its status information into this log file

You can take a look at it and see if you can find anything unusual yourself, but you can also send the file to notebooksapp@me.com and we will analyze it.

Support analyzed the log file. I use a webdav server based on apache slide (open source CRM openCRX). The log showed that the server did not return the attribute getlastmodified for folders. Thus newly created folders were ignored by Notebooks. I fixed the problem on the server side. Now it works like a charm. Many thanks.
