Email address not shown for person who booked an appointment

[Bubu]

Steps to reproduce

1. Offer bookable appointments
2. As a non-logged in user book an appointment
3. Click on the email confirmation link
4. As the person offering the appointments, look at the created calendar entry and try and find a contact address for the person who booked the appointment

Expected behaviour

Name and mail address are shown, perhaps with a mailto: link/button

Actual behaviour

No address is shown. You can downlaod the event and try and import it into thunderbird to see the address. (So it's in the event, just not shown).

the booking person is an attendee. have you checked the attendees?

[Bubu]

Yes, it's not shown there:

[Bubu]

Should I create another issue for the broken avatars on that view? (possibly related browser errors?)

[ChristophWurst]

The avatars are addressed by https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar/pull/3101. Related to https://github.com/nextcloud/calendar/issues/3099.

[ChristophWurst]

Yes, it's not shown there:

Okay, so you expected to also see the name and contact info in the event description, right? That's a valid feature request. Could you resubmit it as such?

[Bubu]

(Thanks for taking the time to walk through these issues with me, it's very much appreciated :-))

Okay, so you expected to also see the name and contact info in the event description, right?

I think I'm not asking for that, I think having it on the attendee screen is enough. What I would expect there though is for non-users of the instance you are on to show the something like Name <[email protected]>, if the info is in the event.

(I can still resubmit that as a feature request, if you prefer.)

[42ske]

I would have the same feature request: show email addresses on the attendee screen and add the ability to directly create a new manual mail to the attendee (maybe additional to all attendees also). The info ist already there it is just not displayed in the calendar via browser, if you sync your calendards with external calendar apps the the mailadresses can be seen (e.g. macOS Calendar).

[maximelehericy]

In Thunderbird, the email address of the person who booked is shown. It is maybe just a matter of display in Nextcloud Calendar :)

[maximelehericy]

BTW, this issue is also true for regular calendar invitations that do not come from the Appointment feature. However, it is especially painful in the Appointment feature as the main user often do not know who is the requester.

[ChristophWurst]

I suggest we put an action text component into the attendee actions (... menu) that shows the email address. That is easy to do and sufficient.

What is an action text ? (apologies for my non-dev noob questions 🙃)

[ChristophWurst]

A text entry in an actions menu

[maximelehericy]

hmmm, let's wait for the result :)

[ChristophWurst]

^ this is an actions menu. the first entry is a text. the rest are buttons.
