This is a casual reminder that groups in Zap are very different from forums in Hubzilla. You can post to them either with a wall-to-wall post or a DM (as I've done here).

Notifications in Channel Clone

el chava

Mon, 26 Aug 2019 13:54:49 -0700

Logged in to channel at cloned location and noticed many old notifications not viewed/cleared. Most had already been cleared at primary channel location. This includes pending connections that had previously been accepted.

Should this be something that syncs between primary and clones?

Wondering if bug, as-intended, or otherwise.

Then I suspect the non-sync'd connections might just be an issue on the hub hosting the clone channel. I see duplicate connections on here as well... perhaps a localized db issue. No biggie.

Hmmm... Is a Zap hub called a "hub" as in Hubzilla? Should it be a zub or a zite perhaps? haha

I created a project specific vocabulary mostly as satire only because years ago everybody else was doing it. It was a joke.

Call it what you want. Maybe a clump or zapwad or sac or swarm or coven/covey. As a plural of an electrical discharge maybe it should just be called a storm.

Ok, I'm back. I've tried accessing caldav with cadaver, and all I'm getting is 404 errors, which is new and different from davx, which gave 404s but only listed files under <base URL>/cdav/principals/<channel name>.

Is it possible there is some kind of permissioning error I'm not aware of? The server access log shows a 401, and then a 404 error when accessing.

hz.macgirvin.com is on dreamhost and using the default .htaccess file supplied by Hubzilla. I get similar results with Zap (also on Dreamhost using the default .htaccess) except that I do not have any created or active caldav calendars in Zap. I do however see the default home,inbox, and outbox when accessing my calendars in zap but they are empty.

I understand that you've only had results when connecting to principals but once again I'll suggest that if you want to access calendars you should probably access calendars and not principals (people). We've never really populated the principals with anything - the entries under principals only exist to allow sharing.

After reading Einer and Mike, I tried cadaver at the <base url>/cdav level, and I could log in! The caldav response shows nothing is listing in the directories where I should expect to find files. Again, that makes me wonder what is going on, because I have a default calendar /cdav/calendars/bill/default and a test calendar /cdav/calendars/bill/<long id is long>.

After some more testing, I found that the phone app aCalDAV from the FDroid repository works just fine for syncing calendar data. The problem was that the prior DAVX app was making a lot of assumptions about what it had to see. Able to sync calendars just fine with my phone now.

Note for future explorers in this space: should probably log what accesses DAVX makes so we can ultimately give it whatever it wants to see.

Bill Albertson

Wed, 07 Aug 2019 21:08:23 -0700

DAVx simply wouldn't sync with an empty caldav directory either. I set one up under dreamhost, separate from my zap instance. It errored there as well. Apparently DAVx was expecting specific structures and methods of access to be in place, from what I could read in the logs. I can provide testing logs for both if you want, probably can do it on Saturday when I have more time.

Blocking sites from the directory view

I've noticed some spammers setting up shop, especially from o.mindblast.space. Is there any way to block them from being viewed in the directory, based on site name or keywords?

I've pre-emptively blocked public stream communications and communications in the admin-security panel.

I looked just now and there's a new entry that's borderline. It's certainly permissible to have a social profile representing a company, even if it's a slightly sleazy company or business venture. I'm going to leave this one alone. This is completely different from setting up hundreds of spam profiles for the same company or link.

It checks git and pulls if there's an update avail. Normally we don't have to log in again but i think after the most recent major update i had to log in again. Depends on what changed I guess

I'm using the webauthn plugin that only allows one simultaneous login per account, so possibly that got reset. Or i was logged in on my phone.

Article Permissions [Zap]

Tue, 16 Apr 2019 14:40:24 -0700

I don't see "Public" option when trying to set permissions for an article on one of my channels.

The channel role is Social-Restricted.

I should be able to do this, shouldn't I?
Any ideas?

Also, posting here because I wasn't sure if there is a dedicated Zap Support Forum similar to the Hubzilla one on Zotadel.

Thanks.

Sorry, it turns out to be a bit more complicated and may take a few days to fix. The Articles app re-uses the 'pages' permissions from Hubzilla, but Zap doesn't have 'pages' permissions. It did when I ported the app but doesn't now so this is going to get messy.

It may be fixed now. You will have to uninstall the articles addon and re-install it to pick up all the changes.
