I faced that after version 4.4.5 for me there is also an issue not showing birthday calendar on dashboard.

snagglewest · 2023-11-09T02:21:31Z

With the exception of the users personal calendar, no calendar events show in the web UI dashboard widget. That includes user created calendars, the birthday calendar and external calendar subscriptions.
My users used the feature every single day so it's a big deal for us. It just baffles me that this hasn't gained any traction.

SKB-CGN · 2023-11-11T10:24:15Z

Same here.
Before it was showing all calender events.
Now it's only showing my trash-calendar.

Can it be configured some how?

snagglewest · 2023-11-30T18:13:04Z

Not a real fix but you can get the widget working again by reverting to V4.4.5. These directions (Ubuntu 20.04/Apache2) work but you'll probably won't survive a NC upgrade. At least my users are happy again until a real fix comes along.


1. Disable the calendar app in admin settings

2. move to app directory
cd /var/www/html/nextcloud/apps

3. rename calendar directory to old or delete it completely
# sudo mv calendar calendar-old

4. download version 4.4.5 of calendar
# sudo wget -q https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/calendar/releases/download/v4.4.5/calendar-v4.4.5.tar.gz

5. Extract new version of calendar
# sudo tar xvf calendar-v4.4.5.tar.gz

6. change directory owner & group to www-data www-data (or whatever owner:group you use)
# sudo chown -R www-data:www-data calendar

7. re-enable the calendar app in admin settings

ralfbgithub · 2023-12-14T16:13:45Z

@snagglewes Thank you !!!
#5477 is now fixed for me

snagglewest · 2023-12-16T00:18:46Z

Still not fixed after upgrading to NC 27.1.5 & calendar 4.6.0

On the bright side the downgrade to calendar 4.4.5 kludge still works.

Just keep in mind that upgrading NC automatically upgrades calendar to 4.6.0 and the problem is back. If you're following the above downgrade instructions delete the old calendar folder rather than renaming it and keeping it. NC will complain about the old folder if it's still in the app directory when you upgrade NC.

drunktankpink · 2024-01-09T19:29:17Z

Thanks, @snagglewest this also worked for me.

Apologies if this has been noted, but I am unable to see events from subscribed calendars when downgrading. However, I can see these events from my mobile. Not ideal, but it's good enough for me.

scharmach · 2024-01-19T10:18:34Z

The widget is also not showing tasks anymore if you've set your calendar to show tasks within it.

Noticed this with 4.6.4 (released today), reverting to version 4.4.5 fixed this as well.

I'm really surprised about the state that the widget is in right now.

BaerHub · 2024-04-11T07:33:08Z

For those, who are running Nextcloud as LXC Container or with nginx:

Disable the calendar app in admin settings
move to app directory
cd /usr/share/webapps/nextcloud/apps-appstore
rename calendar directory to old or delete it completely
mv calendar calendar-old
download version 4.4.5 of calendar
wget -q https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/calendar/releases/download/v4.4.5/calendar-v4.4.5.tar.gz
Extract new version of calendar
tar xvf calendar-v4.4.5.tar.gz
(optional) change directory owner & group to www-data www-data (or whatever owner:group you use)
chown -R www-data:www-data calendar
re-enable the calendar app in admin settings

DeBaschdi · 2024-04-25T03:21:51Z

still not fixed in NC 29.0.0

BaerHub · 2024-04-25T07:30:09Z

can confirm, still NOT FIXED

kesselb · 2024-05-07T20:33:19Z

Thanks for your bug report 👍

I've worked on two patches, which are also scheduled for the upcoming releases of Nextcloud 28 (2024-05-23) and Nextcloud 29 (2024-05-23), to address some issues regarding the upcoming events widget.

Bring back events from subscribed calendars: Expose subscription calendars server#44752
Fix an issue with reoccurrence: CalDAV fix search with limit and time range server#45222

I've added a link to the second issue to close this bug report when the patch is merged.

I hope, but cannot say for sure, if those patches already enough.
Please log a fresh issue if your issue is still there with Nextcloud 28.0.6 or Nextcloud 29.0.1.

It's often helpful to let us know if the problem exists with your personal calendar, a shared calendar (by you or to you), or a calendar subscription. Moreover, exporting an ICS file is often helpful.

Thank you and stay tuned!

ralfbgithub · 2024-05-08T10:24:19Z

Thank you, Daniel.

I'll keep my fingers crossed ;-)

kesselb · 2024-05-15T18:07:08Z

@scharmach I'm afraid the missing tasks are not fixed by nextcloud/server#44752 and nextcloud/server#45222. I logged a new issue: nextcloud/server#45333.

kesselb · 2024-05-24T14:26:53Z

Please log a fresh issue if your issue is still there with Nextcloud 28.0.6 or Nextcloud 29.0.1.

I missed the merge window for 28.0.6 and 29.0.1.
They are scheduled now for 28.0.7 and ~~29.0.2~~ 29.0.3.

ralfbgithub · 2024-06-29T17:16:25Z

Calendar widget is working again with 28.0.7 for me
Thx :-)

BaerHub · 2024-06-29T18:44:04Z

same here, its finally working! Thanks guys!

DeBaschdi · 2024-07-01T11:11:08Z

Working in 29.0.3, thx
