Get public birthday calendar as ICS

[mkriegl]

I am using a few calendars with a smart home dashboard. Therefore I made those calendars public and used the ICS download link at each published calendar https://<URL>/remote.php/dav/public-calendars/<some_cryptic_information>?export.
As the birthday calandar is listed at the subscribed calendars it is not possible to get or generate a public link. The only link I get is that one where I have to log in https://<URL>/remote.php/dav/calendars/<user>/contact_birthdays/
Could you please provide this functionality? I am also fine with a workaround to get a downloadable ics birthday calendar link without the need of the login data.

Thanks in advance .. Max

I did a hack and solved it by myself:

lists the shared calendars: SELECT * FROM oc_dav_shares;
add a new entry: INSERT INTO oc_dav_shares (id,principaluri,type,access,resourceid,publicuri) VALUES (<new_entry_numer>,'<principaluri_from_oc_calendars>','calendar',4,<id_from_oc_calendars>,'new_but_different_publicuri');
calendar can then be downloaded via: https://<URL>/remote.php/dav/calendars/<USER>/<publicuri>?export
it is more easy, when there is already a shared calendar in the table

I do not think that this is a duplicate of #1307 (which nextcloud/server#14717 links to) because in that issue there is no mention of the birthday calendar being required to be public.

Sharing includes publishing here :)
But let me add that to the description of #1307.

Alright, thanks for the clarification. In that case, I'll add a question over there. 😉
