Sharing contacts in freshly installed v0.44 not working #1747

Open ThFenske opened 4 years ago

ThFenske commented 4 years ago

Hi all,

during the upgrading tasks to Ubuntu 18.04 I probably found a bug in v0.44. When you set up a fresh MIAB installation v0.44 you cannot share contact lists to other local user. Only the user root and the group admins are offered/accepted in the input field.

So I upgraded the existing database step by step from v.26 => v0.40 => v0.41. Until v.41 everything seems to be fine. After the upgrade to v0.42 (Nextcloud 15) the list of offered/accepted users is shrunken.

After restoring to v0.41 (Nextcloud 14) everything works as expected.

So there seems to be a bug in Nextcloud 15 and above or a problem in the user synchronizition between MIAB (admin console) and Nextcloud in the MIAB v0.42 an above.

Anyone else facing this issue?

Regards

Thomas

I'm not sure if you're using iPhone. This may not be related to your problem, but wanted to share just in case. There seems to be an issue with default Account URL set on iPhone when setting up the account. I opened a another issues just now: https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox/issues/1756

The problem is not related to the mobile device. The error occurs in the contacts browser app of NextCloud. When trying to share a contact list, you have to select a user. But only some (as written in the original post) are offered.

I don't know if it will work with contacts, but the workaround I found for sharing a file was to create a group, share the file with the group, & add users to the group.
