Calendar invite accept/reject screen improvements

[jancborchardt]

When you accept or reject a calendar invite from an invitation mail, the screen looks a bit bare. Some things we can improve:

• Insert the details of the calendar event in there, so that it looks more like the email itself (or the event popover)
• Show the statuses of the other people as well

This way you know what it actually is referring to and get more useful context.

@nimishavijay this would go great together with the design update of the event mails and ics embed – could look much the same, just including all details, and attendance statuses.

Show the statuses of the other people as well

Note we currently hide this by default in the e-mail, following the invitation_list_attendees app config. #17456
We might want to put the default for this setting to 'yes', but anyhow the display should follow the setting as well.

The "Organizer" might want to keep "Attendees" from knowing which other "Attendees" are participating in an event or to-do. The "Organizer" has the choice of sending single iTIP messages with a full list of "Attendees" or sending iTIP messages to each "Attendee" with only that "Attendee" listed.

I would still like to see improvements to the accept/reject screen.

1. Display meeting information, should be the same as the email sent to the user
2. Allow ICS file to be downloaded/added to Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.
3. Remind the user to add the meeting to their calendar of choice
4. Follow the above settings to display other attendees.

It can look the same as the invitation card for an event in Mail, with an extra button to download the event, and a change in the wording, instead of "You have been invited to an event" it would be "You accepted the invite" or "You declined the invite" with an appropriate icon.

Hi, I really like your input and have only two small suggestions:

1. Rather to have the button say „Download“ I suggest to name it „Add to Calender“.
2. If attendees replied already, have their response (accept ✅, declined ❌) shown aside their name.

Rather to have the button say „Download“ I suggest to name it „Add to Calender“.

Unfortunately (same instance) registered users would expect this button to add the event to their Nextcloud calendar, but:

1. They already have it
2. It will download the file and do nothing else
