You should have the following clearly visible in the initial description for this plugin - "This version of the Provider for Google Calendar REQUIRES Sunbird/Lightning 0.8." -
Otherwise, people like me who install it will be left wondering why it doesn't work, and the uninformative message displayed is "Requires additional items'
Thanks.
I guess its different when on the Thunderbird page, but if you are on the Sunbird page, then it says "Works with 0.8 - 0.8". I'll see what I can do on the Thunderbird page.
Is the display of version numbers your only gripe? Personally I don't think that justifies a 2 star rating.

Well done. I love this. An useful extension. There's a same one in Thunderbird add-ons, and it doesn't work at all. (s.t wrong?)

Hello, thanx for excellent plugin!
If you include support of choice SMS and EMAIL as remind method (as in web-interface) plugin functionality great rising!
Rated 4 out of 5 stars
Excellent !
Will be a lot better with multiple alarms / SMS reminders support though.
Please everybody, don't forget to vote for these enhancements in Bugzilla !
There are a lot of people complaining here, but only 3 and 5 votes in Bugzilla ! That is nonsense !
Use default alarms defined in Google Calendar, or add support for SMS alarms :

Only one alarm can be defined per event (multiple alarms wanted) :

It has been said before, and I'll say it again: what a great add-on. I can now access my gmail AND my gmail calendar without having to open up a browser. I love having everything in one place, which is why I was using gmail and the gcal together. When I found I could use gmail with TB I was excited, but wished I could do gcal too. Now I can.
I know, what a waste of a review. Sorry. But don't you just love it when something just works?

Brilliant, Brilliant, Brilliant....
Need I say more. Together with this I am starting to get a complete online everywhere accessable and sync calendar for both work and home...
Thanks a lot for some great work!!!!!!!

Works great under Windows, falls flat on its face under Linux.

I can't get this to work on my Mac OSX 10.4.11 it always gives me an error. It works "AWESOME" on my PC's, but the Mac "Not so much" - Please if you have any solutions. Also the SMS thing. Great work so far...

Szalenie przydatne rozszerzenie. Mam dostęp do swojego kalendarza gdzie chcę, jak chcę i kiedy chcę.

Fantastic Idea! Just need to get the kinks worked out.
As for just making changes to your own Google calendars it appears to work well. However from time to time it "forgets" passwords. On the other hand when using it to view and or make changes to another persons non public Google calendars, even thou you have permissions to view and or change, it seems to "forget" the login and passwords every 30 minutes. Sometimes reprompting you over and over and over again within seconds of typing the password and using the remember passwords feature. Eventually you can make changes/add events to another's calendar for which you have permissions. But the password prompts seem to be never ending.
There is a sync system for Outlook that seems to remedy this issue. However for those of us who hate using "Out Broke" I would much rather get this terrific Thunderbird add-on up to par.
Without an SMS option it looses substantial power to be used as a valid com tool.
Overall this add-on has the potential to be a fantastic Google powered Lighting enhancer. Look forward to new releases soon.

Thank you very much for this add-on. I have a problem with synchronisation when I add events from TB's calendar. Events do not appear in Google's Calendar, whereas Google Calendar events do appear in TB's Calendar. Can I ask why? TB's Calendar allows me to choose whether the new event should be marked as HOME or GOOGLE. Only GOOGLE events that are created through TB's calendar can be also seen on Google's Calendar.

Some mentionned it before, and i totally agree.
SMS functionality is a must... would come in so handy !!
Hello Sicom IT and others,
I am working on multiple reminders support for Lightning/Sunbird in general. I am nearly there, just a few bits missing. Please check out [1] for the bug on multiple alarms, which also implements SMS and EMAIL alarms for Google.
There is already a Lightning xpi for Linux that supports multiple alarms linked there for testing. Please backup your profile before using this version though. I cannot give support since its pre-pre-release.

I use this provider with lightning ad it's ok, but for me there's a big problem: the SMS notification! I use mostly this notification and i'd like to know how it's possible to enable it!

Great idea; lousy implementation - far too buggy. Worked ok for a day (but slow). Then the multiple password requests started and never stopped. I had to uninstall it. Hopefully, a later version will fix the bugs. This has the potential to be a great add-on. Time will tell...

I think one of the most important features of Google Calendar is SMS Reminder and with this extension you still need to start a session in google to change the reminder because it's not possible to select reminder type from Sunbird through the extension.
This reduces drastically its functionality.
