Comments on: Sync Google Calendar to Outlook http://blogs.bungeeconnect.com/2008/03/06/synch-google-calendar-to-outlook/ Feed for the Bungee Connect Developers Around the World Mon, 07 Sep 2009 05:15:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Ted Haeger http://blogs.bungeeconnect.com/2008/03/06/synch-google-calendar-to-outlook/#comment-571 Ted Haeger Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:37:16 +0000 http://bungeeconnect.wordpress.com/?p=161#comment-571 @Stefan: WideLens <i>can</i> synch one calendar to the other, but it is not an automated process. The user must initiate the process. There are two reasons why it's not automatic. First and foremost is that WideLens was created to be both a reference application, and a source code sample from which current and prospective Bungee developers could derive their own applications. Second is that, as a platform, Bungee Connect was designed for making excellent end user interfaces rather than back-end services. At present, Bungee Connect is not ready for hosting something like an always-running synch service. That will change, but there are still many things that we want to refine about the platform's current capabilities. If you're a developer, then you still might want to take a look into the WideLens source code in order to see how we implemented the different API's used by WideLens. Thanks for your question, and please feel free to ask follow-ons. --Ted @Stefan:

We have a calendar interface in our MelbaFresh CRM program (LAMP) to present some of the entered activities. Still there is a need to sync with outlook/exchange as some of the users want to use Outlook as there user interface. There is alsow a need to sync with mobile devices and therefore the databases have to sync. But can WideLens sync? = transfer the calendar data from one calender (db) to the other.
