I am new to these calendar programs, however, and I do not understand how the system works. I want the calendar visible on my web page. Which calendar would appear on my web page, the Google calendar or the Sunbird calendar? I want the Sunbird calendar to appear on my web page. How does one add items to or remove them from the calendar, and which calendar do I make the changes on? How do I post the changes to my web site? I would like to be able to use alarms on the web page that people see, which is why I chose Sunbird. How do I set alarms?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679714.post-87532590287047893372008-07-03T20:44:00.000-04:002008-07-03T20:44:00.000-04:00oh my gosh, this info is amazing. i have seriously...oh my gosh, this info is amazing. i have seriously spent hours trying to find an easy way for two people to edit and view a calendar.<BR/><BR/>thank you so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679714.post-58184961869107566782008-05-02T14:29:00.000-04:002008-05-02T14:29:00.000-04:00> Any ideas?Nope.Eventually there will be offline ...> Any ideas?<BR/><BR/>Nope.<BR/><BR/>Eventually there will be offline versions of the Google applications, and that's when offline Calendar management will be possible, I would say.Stephen Downeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140591903467372209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679714.post-50057625132572799552008-04-30T01:38:00.000-04:002008-04-30T01:38:00.000-04:00Really nice post.

I used Sunbird/Lightning with Google Calendar for a bit, but ran in to some issues (granted I was also sync'ing with Outlook and a Palm PDA), some things just didn't sync predictably.<BR/><BR/>I switched to Firefox and Thunderbird in 2003 and haven't missed Outlook a bit. BUT my prevous employer and some current clients insist I use Outlook on their machines.<BR/><BR/>Other in this situation might consider Plaxo which will sync across Outlook, Thunderbird, Google Calendar and iCal (or any combination). It also has a mobile calendar available in the premium version. Plaxo has gotten less annoying than they used to be with insisting on updates for your contacts too. See www.plaxo.com<BR/><BR/>Others needing PDA sync, might try GooSync (www.goosync.com). It works with Palm Treo, Nokia, Windows mobile and dozens of other mobile phones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11679714.post-54257525858504663002007-09-11T00:11:00.000-04:002007-09-11T00:11:00.000-04:00Thank you, Stephen.

I have it setup similar to what you describe. My only complaint with it is the lack of ability to sync with my PDA. <BR/>It seems that your instructions are not separate for Sunbird and Lightning however they are two independent apps. They do the same thing however lightning is just Sunbird integrated into Thunderbird and it does not require Sunbird be installed. You only need one or the other not both.Ryan Nicolsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07343906389831467970noreply@blogger.com
