Version: 1.1 (using KDE 3.4.3, Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.6 (Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie-8.7.8) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.11-gentoo-r11 Hello, Some time ago, I downloaded SVN version of 3.5 branch of kdepim, including kontact. It built without problems and works, however, no matter what I try, the birthday notication in summary view just disappeared. It is listed in the configuration dialog, but does not show in the screen, with it's checkbox checked or not. I even tried to look what writes kbuildsycoca. It complained about some non-defined services, but nothing related to kontact & friends. Can it be because I installed the SVN one "over" the one from packages? Is it a bug or is it my fault? Thank you.
The Birthdays and Anniversaries summary has been removed in KDE 3.5. It has been replaced by the Special Dates summary. So, please use the new Special Dates summary instead. This is probably something we need to emphasize in the KDE 3.5 release announcement.
Hm, maybe I was confused by similar icon. However, the birthday.. does not appear even in the config and my first message is about the special dates, it is not there (it is in config, not in the actual view)
Alright, I will try to make it more clean. I have the 'special dates' view checked in the configuration dialog, but nothing appears in the actual view. I tried to create a contact that had birthday 2 days, and still nothing showed. In the first message, I named it wrongly as I knew there showed bithdays and I had seen the name somewhere before. So, basically, the first message is right with the exception it does not concern 'birthdays & aniversaries' but 'special dates'. I hope this one is clear.
you don't even see the gray "Special Dates" bar in the summary view? or do you see the bar, but without any birthdays listed? Do you have $KDEDIR/lib/kde3/libkontact_specialdatesplugin.* on your system? Do you have $KDEDIR/share/services/kontact/specialdatesplugin.desktop also?
I do not have the gray bar, that's why I think it is odd. I have /usr/kde/3.4/lib/kde3/libkontact_specialdatesplugin.la /usr/kde/3.4/lib/kde3/libkontact_specialdatesplugin.so and /usr/kde/3.4/share/services/kontact/specialdatesplugin.desktop I tried logging debug messages, but it did not contain a single message about the special dates pligin, however, I noticed this part: kontact (core): Loading Plugin: Mail kontact (core): LIBNAMEPART: libkmailpart kontact (core): Loading Plugin: Feeds kontact (core): LIBNAMEPART: libakregatorpart kontact (core): Loading Plugin: Contacts kontact (core): LIBNAMEPART: libkaddressbookpart kontact (core): Loading Plugin: Calendar kontact (core): LIBNAMEPART: libkorganizerpart kontact (core): Loading Plugin: News kontact (core): LIBNAMEPART: libknodepart kontact (core): Loading Plugin: Notes kontact (core): LIBNAMEPART: kontact (core): Loading Plugin: Weather Service kontact (core): LIBNAMEPART: kontact (core): Loading Plugin: To-do List kontact (core): LIBNAMEPART: libkorganizerpart kontact (core): Loading Plugin: Summary kontact (core): LIBNAMEPART: kontact (core): Added plugin <<<< I mean this kontact (core): Added plugin kontact (core): Plugging new_mail kontact (core): Added plugin kontact (core): Plugging new_contact kontact (core): Added plugin kontact (core): Plugging new_event kontact (core): Added plugin kontact (core): Plugging new_todo kontact (core): Added plugin There are two added plugin, but only one shows. Does it mean it fails to actually load it, but it tries? Is this of any use to you?
Um, I sorted it out. It was my configuration fault, I enabled it in the summary view components, but I did not in the kontacts komponents. Now it works, sorry for this.
