What is wrong with this statement using Libsync::build_sync_packet(...)
@!Zap

This statement does not sync an "item" to the clone. Any idea, why?

Libsync::build_sync_packet(channel_id, array('items' => array(an item)));

I call it after I created the item and to update the item....

function syncPermissionItem() {

        // check and return
        $r = q("SELECT * "
                . "FROM "
                . "  item "
                . "WHERE "
                . "  uid = %d "
                . "  AND title = '%s' "
                . "  AND app = '%s' "
                . "LIMIT 1", //
                intval($this->owner['channel_id']), //
                dbesc("view_faces"), //
                dbesc("faces")
        );
        if (!$r) {
            logger('ERROR just befor to sync the permission item to clones. Item to hold permissions for faces does not exist. You should never see this message in the logs.');
            json_return_and_die(array('status' => false, 'errormsg' => 'Failed to sync permissions using item'));
        }
        logger('About to sync permission item to clones.');

        $this->acl_item = $r[0];

        logger(print_r($this->acl_item, true), LOGGER_DEBUG);

        Libsync::build_sync_packet($this->owner['channel_id'], array('items' => array($this->acl_item)));
    }

The log on the sender side is...

The log of the receiving side (clone) is...

)

Any idea?

@Zap I tried

Libsync::build_sync_packet($this->owner['channel_id']);

as well. No error messages. No item in in database of the clone. Hmm.

@Zap We translate items to a more generic format for syncing and the receiver will want to see it in that format. So on the sending side,

$item_to_send = encode_item($item,true);

@Zap @Mike Macgirvin Thanks.

Does not work for me if I send it

Libsync::build_sync_packet(channel_id, array('items' => array($item_to_send)));

I think, I miss something completly.

I (re)discoverd sync_an_item(channel_id, item_id);
but this does not arrive in the clones db. The logs show the sync activity without error (on both sides)

Strange.

Anyway, I could (wil) use the the hook 'identity_basic_export' that I have already.

@Zap @Mike Macgirvin I used table obj and the hook 'identity_basic_export'. Why? Table obj is fully compatible with Hubzilla, and it is a poor mans approch anyway.

Please let me know if you think this is a silly idea or something is wrong with it!

Now it is simple and WORKS. (I am very happy to be honest.)

I will keep your solution for the old ZAP wiki in mind. But first some changes will follow (take the permission for the image into account, export using dates for uexport, and some UI stuff,...) then - most important - the app should run stable for a while for ZAP and Hubzilla.

Thank you again for your help and your patience!
