TEBE Lives! - Tech. Discussion & Bug reports

Great news!

If I can be of any help, please let me know. Is there anything you need to get started? Have you written extensions before?

Hi,

recently I tried TEBE extension to backup my Thunderbird data.
It all went fine until I tried to connect TEBE with Box.com account.
Here I get the message you can see in the attached screenshot. Am I doing something wrong or has something at the box.com side changed?

I am using Ubuntu, Thunderbird 31.8.0 and TEBE beta (20130106_REJIG). If you need any further information please let me know.

Any ideas?

Box.net support was discontinued a while back. See for more information.

Hi,

thanks for the link.
Still considering to integrate Dropbox over WebDav? I saw that it was mentioned for FEBE but it would be nice for TEBE too.
If not than I'll just do it manually.

Cheers!

It is my hope that TEBE will support any WebDAV type location (Google drive, Dropbox, MS Onedirve, etc.). (spaceShot9) has taken over TEBE development but I will mention it to him next time we talk. FEBE already has that functionality so it is most likely that TEBE will also.

Hi.
I've been using TEBE for ages, and was extremely happy to see it was taken up again and resurrected.

I'm running the latest versions of both TB and TEBE (38.3.0 & 20130103_REJIG). I've been unable to run any backups since March. The automatic backups do not run, and neither does a manual backup. I don't get any errors - it just goes on as if nothing happened.
Can anyone give me a hand, or idea as to where to even start looking for a result?

[cbaker_admin]

You say you don't get any errors. Are you checking the Tb error console in Tools > Error Console (Ctrl-Shift-J)?

I use TEBE every day for a scheduled backup and it runs fine. I do get some TEBE related errors in the console (complaining about an observer) but the backups still complete. I have the same versions installed as you do.

Unfortunately, TEBE is now. That said, I still use TEBE to do a daily scheduled backup and it seems to be working fine. (I do get the error about the 'observerService', but it doesn't seem to affect the backup.)

If TEBE is copying itself with a read-only status, it might be because the original is read-only. Check the permissions of /extensions/tebe@guid.softwarebychuck.com.xpi and make sure it has the appropriate settings.

Also, make sure you are using the .

Thanks so much, Chuck! I checked and, yes, the .xpi file was set as read-only. No idea why that happened. I ran some tests and it's working fine now.

It is a pity that TEBE is undeveloped. The amount of time both TEBE and FEBE have saved me in the past is incalculable. I'd love to help, but have no experience whatsoever in extension development.
