The issue you are facing:
I would like to use a calendar for my family to see all appointments of everyone of us in different colors and be able to make changes or to write appointments to the children’s / my wife’s calendars.
All the puzzle parts i think i have together, but i don’t understand how they should work together.
I have set up nextcloud and installes the contakts and calendar app in it. Then i createt 4 users (no 5 is the admin in the admin group) in the family group, then i shared the calendars of every member of the group family to the group family with write permission. Then i put some dummy appointments to everyone to to have a test for my mobile device. Than i installed the nextcloud app and the davdroid app on my mobile device. In devdroid i put in the server and my account. And then i saw in the calendar app on my mobile devices my own appointments, but only them and not the dummy appointments of the others.
So what do i have to do to be able to see the appointments of the others in my calendar app on my mobile device (android)?
What i have to do to see them in different colors?
What i have to do to be able to change entries in the calendar of the others?
What i have to do to be able to create events in the calendars of the others?
Many thanks,
Sil.K
where did you setup your family-group? don’t mix it with “circles”… groups are set in “users”
do you see the dummy-appointments in your personal calendar in nc?
i have exactly this set-up and it works like a charm. so your idea seems to be correct.
just set a colour for each calendar (it might be helpful doing that under the users-account
usually you should be able to open an event and tell which calender it should belong to. (at least that’s the case on android, thunderbird and outlook)
Yes, i set up the users in the user menu and there i put them to the group “family”, that i set up prior.
I see in nc 4 personal calendars and if i click on them then i see my appointments and the appointments of the clicked personal calendar of the other person.
Should I delete the personal calendars of all and use only one calendar?
so… it’s not clear to me how your nc-view of your calendar looks like. could you add a screenshot, maybe?
and… you looking at your calendar - just click anywhere and open a new event… right underneath you should be able to choose which calendar to put it in. i just tested in with my calendar.
:-# Computers hate me! After adding colors to the persons calendar in nc and having deleted my account in DAVdroid on my mobile device the 5th time, now it works … by magic. Thanks for help, now i will watch for a good open source calendar app for my android mobile.
ummm. this seems to be a totally different topic. i hope you wouldn’t mind to open a new thread for your question (which i simpy can’t answer - except for… try to access the original URL your outlook is syncing against)
Thanks, I tried simple calendar, but it seems that it does not support different colors for my family members, so i use Etar now (don’t know if it’s good or bad, but it works).
