@Bade, to get your TBird cal entries up to Google Calendar: In Thunderbird, right-click over the calendar you want to sync to Google. Select 'export calendar' and save the calendar somewhere memorable. In Google Calendar: Calendar Settings -> Calendar -> "Import Calendar". Select the file you just saved from Thunderbird. Boom. Done. Then set up a new Calendar in Thunderbird with the Google Provider extension and sync it with your Google Calendar. At this point, you'll have two identical calendars (hopefully) and the non-Google-synced one can go. Simple and very handy.

Excellent plugin. Simple to use. No problems here! Running Tbird 3.1.2 with Lightning 1.02b on Ubuntu Lucid.

Nice work.

===
To set it up I used:
in Thunderbird/calendar pane, right-click and click "New Calendar", "On the Network", "Google Calendar" paste in private address from Google Calendar Settings to get the private address (XML)
hope this helps to get going quickly

In the FAQ it talks about options to toggle event invite functionality. This is the ability to click accept on event invitations typically sent from Outlook.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:GDATA_Provider#Why_can.27t_I_configure_any_options_in_the_Extension_Manager.3F

However, no combination of changing the advanced options enable this functionality. I need some means of accepting the events then syncing them to google calendar but there seems to be no way of doing that.

Otherwise, the addon is good, it just doesn't do what I need.

Great add-on.
It would also be great to have a quick-add option, just like in google calendar.

Working great for me with TB 3.1.2, Lightning 1.0b2. I have six google calendars with the experimental caching on, plus one local calendar for entering events when offline - once online I change the calendar across to one of the online ones and it all works very smoothly.

AWESOME! I can finally update my calendar from Lighting again.
Just for that, 5 stars (any bugs are minor compared to not being able to edit my events from my desk)

Thanks!

Funciona muy bien, una vez configurado sincroniza los calendarios de google y thunderbird perfectamente.
Si usas thunderbird con lightning, es imprescindible para mantener tu calendario online y poder acceder desde todos tus ordenadores.

An additional feature that would be great is if this ext would handle webcal, ical, etc and send it to Thunderbird/Lightning or Sunbird or even via gCal

I always use "security -> password" in Thunderbird to passwordprotect my e-mail. But since I installed the (exellent) add-on "Provider for Google Calendar" Thunderbird always asks for the password twice. Is there anyway you can solve this bug? Otherwise the program syncs my Google Calendar perfectly! Really a great add-on in combination with "Lightning" (add-on).

You can find a version that works with Sunbird 1.01b here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4631/

It is version 0.6b that you want for 1.01b.

Once installed and configured it works like a charm. I was little stumped at first because I'm still new to Thunderbird. Thunderbird opens my Firefox to get the plug in and then Firefox tries to install it into itself.

Once I found the way to install into Thunderbird it installed just fine.

Then I had to figure out how to link my Google calender. Following the instructions on the http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:GDATA_Provider site helped me to configure the plug in for my calendar. The https tip worked great and allows me to edit my Google calendar without having to launch a browser.

Great plug in.

I love this addon, it is almost a requirement for lightning, however some changes have bothered me.
This forces me to send invitations from the gmail account associated with my calendar for some reason. I keep my work calendar on gmail, and people that I invite to events find it strange that I am not using my work email to send them an invite. There appears to be no way to select the account to send invitations from. This plugin needs some options.
Thanks for fixing the google calendar invite-link crazyness, it now is back to sending a good ol' invite attachment.

Major bug with TB 3.1, lightning 1.0b2 and Provider 0.7 - no alarms will work.

Editing the event won't save any details (Category, Alarm, etc).

I did try deleting and re-adding the calendar, still no alarms...

Still giving 5 stars because when it works, it works very well...

Help!!!
