Full free/busy support

Open oparoz opened this issue 9 years ago • 14 comments

As a meeting organiser I want to be able to see if the meeting participants are available when I'm defining the time slot. It should work both in the web interface and on remote clients.

The server already provides Free/busy support afaik. Having a dedicated UI in the calendar app is something far away. Probably not before 1.x, x > 10

Thanks for the quick reply. Does it require a specific ownCloud version? Is there something special to configure on the server to support it (you can tell me to RTFM ;))?

It definitely requires ownCloud 9+ and I think it should work out of the box.

Doesn't seem to work in Thunderbird. Is there a client you would recommend for testing?

oparoz avatar Aug 12 '16 16:08 oparoz

Hm, I would have probably tried Thunderbird as well. According to http://sabre.io/dav/scheduling/ it's part of the Scheduling plugin, which in fact is loaded: https://github.com/owncloud/core/blob/master/apps/dav/lib/Server.php#L103

I guess it's related to core's ridiculously rigorous ACL rules. Mind raising an issue in core? :)

latest master allows listing of users, I think that was different for ownCloud 9

georgehrke avatar Aug 12 '16 16:08 georgehrke

Ah, so that could be the issue then. It would require ownCloud 9.1.

@georgehrke @raghunayyar we should try to make this workable soon. It’s an often requested feature and needed to achieve parity with other Calendar solutions people are used to. It’s one of the make-or-break features.

Okay, but let's not start yet another feature. We should finish public sharing, webcal and search first

georgehrke avatar Aug 12 '16 17:08 georgehrke

We should discuss this at the conf and collaborate on some mockups :)

@herrdeh Please use GitHub Reactions and don't spam issues with "+1", "me too", "mimimi implement it already" or something like this, thx 😉

👍 Hi, is there any progress on this? We would be also interested in having free/busy feature.

I'd like to be able to see list of all personal calenadars of my collegues. However I do not need to see all their event names, but only if they are busy. Similarly if I put an event into my calendar I want others to see that I'm busy at that time.

If there is such a feature, can you just give me some hint where to find it? Thank you

https://github.com/owncloud/calendar/issues/696#issuecomment-239490532 above mentions that "The server already provides Free/busy support afaik". If that is true, could someone please confirm it, and provide details of how it can be turned on, and what it looks like when operational? I am assuming that this means that clients such as Thunderbird can access this feature on the server?
