ColdSync Conduits

ColdSync Conduits

Most of these conduits require the p5-Palm Perl modules.

Some of these conduits don't list .coldsyncrc entries. That's because they use a newer version of the conduit Perl module.

To find out what to add to your .coldsyncrc, install the conduit, then run

/path/to/conduit -config

Abook conduit
A conduit by Carsten Ehbrecht for synchronizing the Palm Address Book with Abook.
TimesheetMate
a program/conduit that creates excel files from a Timesheet1.5.3 application, by Johan Van den Brande.

memo-tidbits
A conduit for uploading small memos. Useful if you have cron jobs to automatically fetch today's weather forecast, quote of the day, or some other bit of text that doesn't warrant its own application. By JD Smith.

LDAPfetch
LDAPFetch is a conduit for ColdSync that will update a PalmOS address book with addresses from an LDAP server.

Eyemodule
A Perl module for manipulating Eyemodule photo databases.

phpgroupware palm sync
A set of coldsync conduits syncing phpgroupware and palm pilots.

kab-dump
A perl script to dump the Palm AddressBook database in the format used by kab, the KDE address book.

To use this, add

	conduit dump {
	        path: "/path/to/kab-dump";
	        type: addr/DATA;
	}
to your .coldsyncrc file.
kab-fetch
A perl script to fetch the contents of the kab address book. In conjunction with kab-dump, implements two-way syncing.

To use this, add

	conduit fetch {
	        path: "/path/to/kab-fetch";
	        type: addr/DATA;
	}
to your .coldsyncrc file.
todo-kjots
Dumps all memos to a KJots file.
mh-aliases
A conduit to synchronize addresses between the Palm Address Book and an MH-style alias list.

Warning: This is intended as a tutorial conduit. It is unstable, and horribly incomplete. If you use this for real, very bad things will happen to you!

philcon
This isn't actually a conduit. It's just a script that I whipped up to add the program for Philcon 1999 to the Datebook.
Want to write your own conduits? Great! It's not that hard, but you should read the documentation first.

If you write a useful conduit and would like to share it, please send mail to arensb@ooblick.com
