WebTop calDAV sync for Tasks

[DavidG (David Gordon)]

NethServer release 7.6.1810 (final)
WebTop

Final trial of WebTop before I decide if I can use it…

I can synchronise Calendar and Contacts using CalDav and CardDAV with my desktop machines but not Tasks. Should I be able to sync with WebTop’s Tasks?

I know I can do this with SOGo!

Many thanks.

Is it possible?

Hi @DavidG,
i can confirm that in the current version, Task synchronization is only supported via EAS (ActiveSync) and only for Apple devices.

Because Android devices do not support tasks synchronization, unless via specific apps that must be configured separately and that can’t be trusted as an OS feature, we didn’t insist in supporting tasks on DAV.
If you feel this should be done, please add your motivations.

Not everyone uses Android! Having Tasks synchronise completes the set. Apple iPhone and iPad users as well as Mac desktop people could have Calendars, Contacts and Tasks. Usually the three work together.

I think if WebTop did have Tasks I would consider using it. But as it doesn’t I am using a different solution.

Thanks!

In Android, both Davdroid (davx5) and Dmfs CalDAV and CardDAV suggest to use Dmfs Opentasks to manage Tasks:

OpenTasks

An Open Source task app in Material Design. This app supports basic task management and provides user friendly user interface. To complete a task in the list view, just hold it for a moment and fling it from the left to the right. To edit a task fling it from the right to the left. NOTE: This task app doesn't support recurring tasks yet. You'll see recurring tasks, but you can not edit single instances. Any changes you make will apply to the entire series! Please keep that in mind. It works ...

Which are nowadays far more expensive and outperformed by competing products, only with the exception of iPad, the only “currently” performing tablet platform, hoping that iPad OS will provide what is still lacking from Apple iThings since the first iPhone: filesystem access.

Getting back to business…
Sync of tasklists and tasks are core business for Evernote, which lead Google to create Tasks and Keep, a mix of EverNote can do.
I agree that should be something standard for that, but currently on Android this feature is missing, provided by combined Calendar, Tasks, Keep.
Affordable tasks management applications which are WebDav-enabled are welcome

Okay, thanks, it’s clear WebTop is not for me, nor me for WebTop.

This seems to work with Activesync:
