alfred westerveldFor a long time I have been looking for a rock solid calendaring system. I’ve gotten too used to working for companies who have Microsoft Exchange (or, God forbid, Scalix) installed which allow me to edit and update a calendar from multiple locations and even sync it with my Mobile Phone. When I first heard of Google Calendar I hoped that I would be able to enjoy such benefits again, but I am not a great fan of web-apps, and prefer a nice, solid desktop client to do my email / organisation from.

Wytze KoopalLightning, the calendaring extension for Thunderbird which brings the desktop email app one step closer to becoming a viable alternative to Microsoft Outlook. Works great. Now, if only we would also have an offline calender... It is worked at at Google.

I tried this and although I can see and edit gcal whilst connected to the internet it doesn’t let me see or edit when I am offline. Am I missing the point or have I missed a step?

Hi Gordon, No, unfortunately you are correct on this one and I jumped the gun by presuming it would cache the calendar data for offline use, which it does not (damn). Maybe this would be an interesting bit of code contribution (if I had them time / skill). I have removed the mention of Offline capability from the article - sorry for getting your hopes up :(

After u posted this you got me wanting my google calendar in sync with a nokia s60 phone calendar over the air waves. Scheduleworld.com
is a useful way of doing it. It is pretty buggy, and make sure you back up your calendars before trying to use this, but if you get it working its very satisfying having your google calendar on your phone and able to add events while taking a dump/down the pub :) -

I’m having troubles scheduling recursive events thriugh Lightning + GCal Provider. I’m trying to schedule a yearly event (such as a birthday/aniversary event) but the “recursive part” of the event doesn’t appear on GCal.
Thanks.
-
There is a perfect way to connect to Google Calendar and still being able to make changes in offline mode.
It doesn’t use the mentioned GCal Provider but instead does the syncing via .ics file.The Programm is called GCAL Daemon - website:
http://gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net/
And there is a setup guide for mozilla lightning/sunbird amongst others….

This is very cool, however I wanted to be able to view the public calendars in gmail within lightning, since I cannot log into the gmail account for a public calendar, and there does not appear to be any easy way to copy a public calendar into my gmail calendar, i am a little stuck. Anyone got any thoughts on how this could be done?

I guess this is why we should think a little harder before we blog… after posting my last comment, i found gmail does offer an ical link, simply creating a new calendar, then selecting the iCalendar(ICS), and copying the ICAL link in the public calendar settings in gmail give us the public calendar in lightning.
-
Very nice extension. However, I miss one thing: Alarms and Reminders seem not to be compatible. So if you set an reminder in Google Calendar, Lightning does not take it as an Alarm. That would be very useful.
I also figured that repeat e.g. every year can not be deleted or updated from Lightning. Maybe not a bug, but a feature to protect these events?
-
@Holch: Alarms and reminders are on its way for the next version. See the Provider WIKI for bug numbers to track the issue. Repeating events are also not fully implemented (there are some other bugs that are keeping me from easily implementing it)
-
@Siggy: Attendees are not implemnted yet. See the WIKI for the bug number. Basic support has a patch in hand
-
@Dustin: The upcoming version 0.5 of sb/ltn includes auto-refresh support. Feel free to download the latest nightly of sunbird/lightning.
-
he correct url form is of course:
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/
{google email or HASH@groups.google.com
email}/{public or private or private-HASH}/{public or basic, optionally with a .ics at the end}The {} are of course not part of the url.
-
I saw the comments about public calendars and lack of password to access these. The suggested workaround is using the ICS feed, not Google Calendar
How about Google calendars that are owned by others, and shared with me? On the Google Calendar interface I see these, and both Spanning Sync and Calgoo see these and make them available when they log in to Google Calendar. But when I try to add these calendars to Lightning/TB, I’m asked to provide the owner’s credentials, which I do not have.
Is there a way to add calendars to Lightning that have been shared with my Google Calendar?
-
I’ve got the same issue with it only working with my primary calendar. It would be great if it worked with all calendars, it would allow us to use TB/Lightning for collaboration at work
The format of the xml link is quite different for the non-primary calendars - I’m guessing this has something to do with the issue. The password is refused when trying to create the calendar
-
I have a question though: I can synchronize my private calendar (the one created the first time I used Google Calendar). I added a new one but the XML link doesn’t contain my gmail address (the one I use to log in to my Google calendards) but is like:
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/@group.calendar.google.com/private-/basic
Therefore when I try to add it in Lightning, it asks me for the password for @group.calendar.google.com. I changed this “e-mail” address to my gmail address and entered my password but it doesn’t work.
Any idea? -
am having a problem, though. The extension worked very well for several days then it randomly stopped working and started rejecting my password. I’ve tried reconfiguring it and also tried it on a few computers, but it’s still rejecting my password. It stopped working about 4 days ago, then worked fine on Thursday, then stopped again after that. Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Are there any known causes? Thanks.
-
@Craig, you are not the first who complains. I am not sure what the issue is though. Are you using a non-default calendar maybe? Are you sure you also entered your google username instead of the randomhexcharacters@group.calendar.google.com username? Are you maybe running openDNS?
-
@BlueLander: Are you running openDNS? I have heard there were issues with them in the google calendar dev newsgroup. The calendar does not have to be public. I am using a private login in any case.
-
@Theseus: You are doing everything right. Are you getting any errors? You could also try to turn on debugging, set calendar.debug.log to true in about:config and watch your error console.
-
Great extension, thanks xFallenAngel, and I just got the update to v0.2. I couldn’t see much point to Lightning before, but your extension makes it simple to have shared calendars accessible and usable by a group and without having to visit web pages.
There is a discrepancy between Lightning’s categories of Private/Public/Confidential and Google’s categories of Private/Public/Default. For my Google calendar I don’t want things to be Public (which it seems to me is the default for Lightning), so I want the Google ‘Default’ setting to be the real default in Lightning (as I understand it, Google ‘Default’ means hidden from the world at large but open to anyone who I have invited to view my calendar).
‘Default’ is not an option when using Lightning, but if I use the Lightning ‘Confidential’ Setting then in the Google (web-based) calendar none of the options (Public/Private/Default) are set. Maybe this means this the same as Google ‘Default’?
Also there is no way to make ‘Confidential’ (or ‘Private’) the default choice in Lightning, it always defaults to ‘Public’. And it always defaults to appointments being for one hour from midnight to 1am, I would prefer an ‘all day’ default. I appreciate these are issues with Lightning not the Provider for Google Calendar, though.
If anyone knows or has any alternative suggestions I’d be grateful to hear!
-
I spent the last two weeks fighting with the Google login. I couldn’t make Google understand who I was; it would try twice, then go away - without showing the GCal info in Lightning. I couldn’t figure out what was causing it. Even after (re)reading all the above comments, I couldn’t see. Then, for reasons unknown to me, I changed the “view” on T-bird (Lightning), et voila, there was my Google calendar in Lightning, and I could now set the username and password in the Google login so it no longer bothers me.
Anyone want to hazard a guess? I’ll certainly take the result. Looks very good, and the whole process of only updating ONE calendar is a real winner.
