showing events in plasma calendar

Thu Mar 03, 2011 4:44 pm
Good day all,

Sorry to be pain, if this is an FAQ I apologise

I cant for the life of me work out how to show events I put into korganiser, in the plasma calender that pops up when i click the clock in the bottom right of the screen.

I'm sure I've read on blogs and other sites that its possible to do, but I just cant work it out

any ideas please??

Which version of KDE are you using? This may only work seamlessly if you are using an Akonadi enabled calendar....

For now, it seems only to work if you:

1. Use a akonadi-based calendar as bcooksley says

AND

2. Use KDE SC 4.5.x.

I have as yet been unable to get the plasma-calendar to show those events in SC 4.6.0 but they showed without a problem in 4.5.x. I think (can't find the post now though( I saw someone mention that it's a regression that is supposed to be solved in 4.6.1 so I hope that's correct.


OpenSUSE 11.4, 64-bit with KDE 4.6.4

I'm actually using 4.6.1, and just the standard clock in the bottom right of the screen, is that akonadi enabled? or do I need a different one?

I have put a couple of events and todo's in korganiser, are they just meant to show up automatically or do I need to enable something?

Thanks

I wonder can anybody recommend an Akonadi enabled calendar I can use on my desktop?

I do not know if that is possible yet. However there is the eventlist plasmoid, which lists events and their dates. I would link to it, put kde-look etc. seem to be down at the moment.

edit: It seems you are right there are some blog posts, e.g. http://vizzzion.org/blog/2010/08/demystifying-akonadi/ but it probably needs kdepim >= 4.5.

Thanks for the info on that eventlist plasmoid, there is even an F14 x86_64 rpm for it which is exactly what I use, unfortunatly when I right click on it and click "select shown resources" it crashes my plasma-desktop :(

I might try and compile it from source.

but anyway I guess I'll wait for the clock calendar to start working again in future releases.

Thanks again guys

Martin
