I love the app so far. I had issues with the reminders with the google version of sync for Sunbird. Thanks, Philipp.
The reason I'm writing this tho', is to clarify the "Accessing your calendar" instructions for newbies like me. I had no idea what Philipp was trying to convey until I went to google's site (http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=37648) and read their instructions.
In order to obtain your calendar's "private address" follow step number one as Philipp advises, but then...
As suggested by google:
1. In the calendar list on the left, click on the down-arrow button next to the appropriate calendar, then select Calendar settings.
2. Select the XML or HTML button on the calendar's settings page. A pop-up window with your calendar's private URL will appear.
3. Use this URL to access your calendar data.
Personally, this was a lot easier to comprehend than Philipp's directions. But like I said, I'm a newb! Thanks again Philip.

It took me a little, but this is very cool and once setup very stable. Good job!
It's a combination of this add on
Enable a public share of your calendar.
Copy the URL of your calendar.
Follow the directions at Google Help for "Get Started with CalDAV"
You can even export your default "Home" Calendar and import it into Google.
Once you play around with the public vs private viewing it's all set. So now you can use Gcal as the host and Mac/iPhone/blackberry/PC whatever as reader clients.

Les notifications ne sont que des alertes.
Si vous voulez avoir les alertes correspondant à votre configuration sur "Google Agenda" (sms, mail, ...), modifiez le fichier "calGoogleUtils.js".
Recherchez la ligne :
entry.gd::when.gd::reminder += gdReminder; // ligne 405 pour la version 0.6b1
Ajouter la ligne suivante juste avant :
gdReminder.@method = "all";
Et voilà !

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand the need for this add on. Sunbird and lightning already have this ability. If you don't know how to do it just go to your Google calendar and click on "Sync" in the upper right hand corner of the screen and follow the instructions.
I've been syncing multiple calendars with Google for some time now with no problems using Google's sync instructions.
If this add on does something more, then please indicate that in the description.

I'm using thunderbird to retrieve emails in my workplace. The meeting invitation sent to my work email doesn't appear in my GCal automatically. I must drag the invitation to lightning to make it sync to GCal so that I can receive alerts on my android phone. My understanding is that I duplicated the invitation to my GCal by the "dragging". It will be helpful if there's some way to route the work invitations to my GCal.
Anyway, I love it.

Incompatible with Sunbird!
"Provider for Google Calendar 0.6b1 could not be installed because it is not compatible with Sunbird 0.9"

A very useful add-on. Used it with TB 2, I'm downloading it for TB3.
Does this version support offline access to your GCalendar?
If the download link doesn't work for you ("Add-on not found"), try the Sunbird page:

Mark L: "This extension allows Sunbird and Lightning to read and write events to a Google Calendar."
Somehow, I feel, that this implies that either Sunbird or Lightning is required.
Also, I got this to work by following the instructions on the listed homepage. I first tried to your instructions on Google's page, but this resulted to infinite update loop when adding items to calendar (bug perhaps somewhere).
Worked quite well so far (although my testing has been a bit limited)

It would seem it is possible to sync Google Calendar with Thunderbird. You WILL require the Lightning Add-On. It sure would have been nice if someone published the answer instead of the vague "I know but you don't" reply...
So here it is:

Substitute Thunderbird for Sunbird, and the directions work fine.
PS. Save your $10 Provider support fee for a beer.

Sehr nützlich, die Passwortabfragen via CalDAV zum google-Kalender sind einfach unerträglich, dieses Problem ist hiermit gelöst.
Very useful to bypass the many password requests when using CalDAV access to google calendar instead.

Talk about useful! I needed this a long time ago.
Only one problem: Lightning supports Tasks, Google (well, Gmail, I guess) supports Tasks... so why doesn't my Google-imported calendar support the creation of tasks? Adding that capability would be a really good addition to this addon.

Mea Culpa
The problem was not with Provider. I reverted to an older version of Lightning and Provider started working again. Currently using Lightning 1.0b1 and Provider 0.6b1 and it works with 3.0.3
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Update: I decided to install 3.0.3 and they were correct lightning and google provider do not work with 3.0.3. Do not upgrade if you like Google Provider.
I can either see if I can revert to 3.0.2 or live without calendar function until an update is written. I loved provider when it worked.

Does Provider work with 3.0.3 - some say yes, others say no. When I clicked to download the update, I got a message saying that provider and the nightly updater will not work with 3.0.3. What I have is working, I don't want to mess it up. Any thoughts?

Like David0422 I cannot get Google Sunbird Addon 0.6b1. I now work with the latest nightly built 1.0b2pre for Macs. I guess I will have to wait for the addon to be upgraded. I probably upgraded too fast. Now I cannot connect to my Google Calendar anymore..

Provider for Google Calendar 0.6b1 не может быть установлено, так как оно не совместимо с Thunderbird 3.0b3.
