no view for existing resources

[mokkin]

I managed it finally to activate the app, create building, story and some rooms. I can even search and add those resources in the participants dialogue while adding an appointment.
Unfortunately the resources are not displayed in the calendar menu nor are they visible via CalDAV by third party software such as Thunderbird or an appointment booking system.

The left sidebar in Calendar only shows calendars. A calendar is not a resource.

For Thunderbird I can't tell if they actually support this. A quick internet search gives me the impression Thunderbird/Lightning is simply unable to work with any CalDAV resources. This is not a back-end issue.

Just for understanding: Can you tell how can a user view the resources then in Calendar if they are not displayed like a calendar?

[ChristophWurst]

What do you mean? How do you display a resource? Do you want to see its availability? More infos about the resource? Anything else?

[ChristophWurst]

I think you're referring to a feature like this nextcloud/calendar#3185

FYI I've tested Nextcloud CalDAV resources with Thunderbird. They work if you know their email address. Free/busy overview shows when the resource is already taken. It's not possible to find resources, though. I assume this is a limitation of Thunderbird's resource implementation.

Hi, maybe one way to solve this point is:

1. create a NC Contacts group named Resources
2. create entries in this group, such as for instance "Meeting Room 1" with the email address you've used when creating this room resource with calendar_resource_management
3. in T-Bird, install, setup and use the "Provider pour CalDAV & CardDAV" extension
4. after a while (until NC Contacts are synchronized with your T-Bird) you should find the Resources group (here named Category) in the Contacts...

That's an interesting idea!

Just for reference, we achieved to share the calendar (similarly to @mokkin 's request) by manually adding a caldav share in database.
Not sure if it's a good idea regarding future update or whether Sabre likes it, but in test environment it seemed to work.

Here is what we did:

SELECT * from oc_calendars WHERE oc_calendars.principaluri LIKE "%resource%";

to find the id of the resource calendar we want to share

INSERT INTO oc_dav_shares(principaluri, type, access, resourceid) VALUES ("principals/groups/MyGroup", "calendar", 3, ID);

Replace:

• "principals/groups/MyGroup" by the group or user (principals/user) you want to share it with
• 3 by 2 if you want the share to be write-enabled instead of read-only (I also tested access 4, which is used for public URI and allows re-sharing - not sure it
• ID by the id of the resource you found in the first step

Use a your own risks ;-)
