Thunderbird - synchronize addressbook and calendar
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
Addressbook
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
As someone who is new to Nextcloud and new to CardBook here is what you need in excruciating pithy detail to make this work:
|
|
|
|
- `Thunderbird <https://www.thunderbird.net/>`_ for your OS unless it comes with your OS distribution (Linux)
|
|
- `CardBook <https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/cardbook/>`_ (a Thunderbird contacts add-on.)
|
|
|
|
Once you've installed CardBook and Thunderbird do like this:
|
|
|
|
1. In the bottom left of the Contacts View (in Nextcloud contatcs) look for a little impeller symbol that looks like this:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ../images/contacts_link.png
|
|
|
|
which will display and URL that looks something like this:
|
|
https://cloud.nextcloud.com/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/daniel/Thunderbird/
|
|
|
|
2. Cardbook is found in the upper right corner of Thunderbird:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ../images/cardbook_icon.png
|
|
|
|
3. In the Thunderbird Cardbook add-on:
|
|
|
|
- "Adressbook > New Adressbook **Remote** > Next
|
|
- Fill in your information
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ../images/new_addressbook.png
|
|
|
|
4. Validate your settings and click Next, then choose the name of the addressbook and click Next again.
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ../images/addressbook_name.png
|
|
|
|
5. Once installed, synchronize your addressbook by clicking "Synchronize" in the top left corner of CardBook.
|
|
You'll see your address book populate from Nextcloud!

Calendar
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
- `Thunderbird <https://www.thunderbird.net/>`_ for your OS unless it comes with your OS distribution (Linux)
|
|
- `Lightning <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/lightning/>`_ (a Thunderbird calendar add-on.)
|
|
|
|
Once you've installed Lighning and Thunderbird do like this:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your Nextcloud Calendar and click on the 3 dotted menu for the calendar that you want to synchronize which will display and URL that looks something like this:
|
|
https://cloud.nextcloud.com/remote.php/dav/calendars/daniel/personal/
|
|
|
|
2. Go to the calendar view in Thunderbird and right click in the calendar menu to the left (where the names of the calendars are) to add a **New Calendar**.
|
|
|
|
3. Choose **On the network**
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ../images/new_calendar.png
|
|
|
|
4. Choose **CalDAV** and fill in the missing information:
|
|
|
|
.. image:: ../images/CalDAV_calendar.png
|
