[Usability] CalDAV/CardDAV link

[laryllian]

Hey all, I have just discovered, why I can never remember, where to look for the CalDAV/CardDAV links exactly:

To find the CalDAV url for a specific calendar:

• Go to the Calendar app
• Click the "Calendars" icon on the upper right (NOT the cogwheel, right of it)
• Click the round, "world"-like icon next to the calendar you need the URL for

But to find the CardDAV url for a specific address book:

• Go to the Contacts app
• Click ON the cogwheel below the contact list
• Click on "More"
• Click on the round, "world"-like icon next to the address book you want to access.

This is a usability no-go! Why do I click on the cogwheel for the contacts link and not on the cogwheel for the calendar link? I think this is confusing, at least for me it was - a lot. ;)

Happy greetings and thx for the good work Laryllian

@jancborchardt something for you?

@laryllian we are aware of this. In the current dev version @georgehrke combined the calendars and cogwheel popover. In a future version, the calendar will also move to the new sidebar layout with settings on the bottom left.

Sorry for the confusion. We’re still in the phase of figuring out which design is best, and moving forward with all apps in unison is quite difficult.

Hehe, no hard feelings, I just wanted to point it out, because I, too, want to see OC succeed. =)

BTW: Do you have Usability guys on that subject or are just tech guys doing it? ...if I may ask. =)

Yep, I’m a usability person and often discuss with the other team members. Everyone has some level of knowledge of how to design simpler and more usable, and it’s getting better. :)

@laryllian and by the way, this should also just be way easier in the current dev version (to be released as ownCloud 5). Just in the settings inside the app there are the CalDAV/CardDAV addresses, as well as for individual calendars.

Is it picky to point out that the calendar and contact options (sharing, link, etc) are still inconsistent in terms of their order in both places? ;-)

@laryllian as said before: »In a future version, the calendar will also move to the new sidebar layout with settings on the bottom left.« Which hopefully means ownCloud 6. @georgehrke will you merge the rework soon so we can double down on that?

Well, there's still a lot of js work to be done. — Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub.

@georgehrke then what are you doing checking your mails? Get to work! ;) But seriously, will you use the apptemplate or appframework or something like that? cc @Raydiation

Yeah, I port the current code to make use of the awesome appframework. cc @Raydiation
