are public calendars always read only?
hi,
i have just installed Davis and tried to create a public calendar. My goal is a calendar that I can edit and share to others who can only access read-only.
But so far when I set the calendar to public I lose the ability to edit the calendar at all. Thunderbird automatically sets that calendar to read-only. Kontact removes it completely.
Am I doing something wrong? How do you work with a public calendar?
Hi @shrippen
A public calendar is .. well ... publicly readable by anyone, but only the owner (the creator) can write to it.
Maybe reading this comment here might bring some clarity: https://github.com/tchapi/davis/pull/105#issuecomment-1783372325
I myself don't use public calendars in my setup, and don't use either Thunderbird or Kontact. @1Luc1, as sponsor of this feature, might be able to help maybe?
Hey,
right now we don't use this feature within production, but I tested it quite well and my I can help you with it. We don't use it in production, since we are waiting for the share feature for public calendars: https://github.com/users/tchapi/projects/1?pane=issue&itemId=54538491
So maybe check if this is also your case, why you can't edit public calendars anymore. If not, may I ask you to show us, how you setup the whole thing step by step.
So here is what i did.
- In the admin dashboard I have created a new user.
- Create a new calendar for that user.
- Add that calendar to thunderbird and kontact, logged in as the newly created user.
- add a new entry into that calendar.
- Set the calendar to public in the admin dashboard.
- Try to add another entry into the calendar. Brings an error message. 403.
I don't see how I can create a public calendar that is still modifyable by its owner.
Just tested it and I can confirm, that after setting the calendar to public, it is not possible to add another entry into the calendar as owner of the calendar. @tchapi my you have a look. I tested it with v5.1.3 (SabreDAV 4.7.0)
