Re: [libreoffice-users] Using Lightning with Google Calendar | How to | Thunderbird
Oh, so now I think I understand. As I said in a previous post, I have just been creating duplicate calendars on both Google and Lightening. So - my two tabs for Calendar (local) and Google Calendar (Google) each show just "their" calendars, which happen to be pretty much the same since I have been making dual entries. To make my life easier and just need one entry per event, I can close the Google Calendar tab and just use the Lightening Calendar tab if I create a network calendar in the Lightening Calendar tab and give it my Google address - which should then make it a Google calendar. THAT is why the instructions for the Provider add-on described how to find the Google calendar URL ! OK, now I think I understand. Before I can change to just the one tab though I guess I need to re-think how I organize my calendars. That should not be too difficult. Thank you for explaining.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Using Lightning with Google Calendar | How to | Thunderbird
Hi :) I really like the sound of all that. Really tightly integrated and that 'should' make it much easier for my colleagues to understand. Hopefully even easier than outlook which is looking more and ore clunky compared to what you are describing. I've only just about got Evolution working but might switch over to what you describe in a couple of weeks. The one or 2 bits i am having trouble with in Evo are things i can't ask about on their lists anymore. I really shot myself in the foot over there! :( Regards from Tom :) - Original Message - From: James Knott To: users@global.libreoffice.org Cc: Sent: Tuesday, 1 October 2013, 14:02 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Using Lightning with Google Calendar | How to | Thunderbird Ruth Ann wrote: > I am curious as to how the Provider works. > Thank you for telling us about it. > I installed Provider in Thunderbird last night and see that I now have > a tab for Google Calendar next to my tab for Lightening. > My Google calendars display, and I was able to add an event to Google > calendar from the Thunderbird window, but it is not showing up in the > Thunderbird/Lightening calendar.

I'm not sure how you got that. I have a calendar tab next to the tab. The calendar shows my own personal Google calendar, along with that for a group I belong to. I don't have a separate "Google Calendar" tab. Lightning syncs with both my own and the group calendar. I'm not sure what you did wrong. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to remove the provider & Lightning and start over. -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Re: [libreoffice-users] Using Lightning with Google Calendar | How to | Thunderbird
I am curious as to how the Provider works. Thank you for telling us about it. I installed Provider in Thunderbird last night and see that I now have a tab for Google Calendar next to my tab for Lightening. My Google calendars display, and I was able to add an event to Google calendar from the Thunderbird window, but it is not showing up in the Thunderbird/Lightening calendar. The "synchronize" button is now active on the Lightening tab, but nothing seems to happen when I click it. So I guess what I am asking is does the Provider add-on just let me see/update Google Calendar in a tab in the Thunderbird window, or is there a way to use it to synchronize the Google calendars with the Lightening calendars?
