Next Calendar Test Day: 17 October

In light of the recent 0.3 release, we’ve seen quite a few bugs coming
through as people try to load data into Lightning and Sunbird from their
favorite clients. We’re going to have an entire test day focused on
interoperability testing on Tuesday. Among other things, this means:

Testing For Lightning:

  • Test receiving email invitations from other clients and adding them
    to a Lightning calendar

  • Test importing and exporting Lightning calendars to/from other
    calendar applications

  • Test how Sunbird works with published calendars that were generated
    from other applications

  • Test how Lightning works with WCAP data from Sun WCAP servers
    (requires Lightning WCAP extension)

  • Are there other interoperability tests you can dream up for Lightning?

Testing For Sunbird:

  • Test importing and exporting Sunbird calendars to/from other calendar
    applications

  • Test how Sunbird works with published calendars that were generated
    from other applications

  • Are there other interoperability tests you can dream up for Sunbird?

Since we need the ability to test against as many other calendar
applications and calendar servers as possible, we need your help.

Each of us has access to certain clients that others may not have access
to. So, any test you can think up that measures the interoperability of
your specific calendar servers and clients with Sunbird/Lightning will
be appreciated.

Once again, our friends at Linpro AS (http://www.linpro.no) will be
sponsoring the prizes for this test day.

Hope to see you in #calendar-qa on Tuesday, October 17. For more
information on the test day, please see:

Thanks for the help!

  1. Is it likely this test cycle will result in a v0.3.1 release, or will the fixes simply roll into v0.4?

  2. hey, I have a win2K machine running Sunbird .2. I updated to .3 release and Sunbird never starts? Lightining runs fine,but no sunbird :-(

    Uninstall previous Sunbird version. Ensure that program folder is empty. Install new Sunbird version. See also comments in http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/calendar/2006/10/sunbird_lightning_03_released.html#comment-360800

    I have a remote calendar in OpeneXchange that is loaded via HTTPS and it works fine. But if I add “Tasks” in OX or Lightning it won’t upload (data error) or doesn’t show any remote calendar data from OX. I guess it’s some parsing problem then.

  5. I forgot where the sunbird theme is. Could someone please tell me where the theme source is?

  6. @Andy Burns
    It is unlikely that there will be a separate 0.3.1 release.

  7. Love the calendar, and for me it’s only missing one thing. I would like to be able to print in weekview. This is imperitive for me in a working calendar application because I use it to work in my “open space time”. I can’t visualize that in list or month print views. iCal does this, but I don’t have an Apple + i love Mozilla. So please implement a few more print settings for us users :)

  8. Where can I find a lighting version for thunderbird3.0a?

  9. I dont know if this is a feature suggestion or a bug. But, when i have 1 or more events at the same time on different calendars all the events of that day are reduced to a partial width of the day (in week/day view).
    This is confusing because it could easily be misinterpreted as there being events at those other times that just arn’t appearing.

  10. count me in for tomorrow

  11. Any chance this thing can run on XulRunner?

  12. Are there other interoperability tests you can dream up for Lightning?
    Yes, this one is not working correctly anymore. (Worked fine with calendar.)

  13. What a great, functional and useful extension! Thanks for developing it.
    For making it even better, I would add in-place editing (ajax style or whatever works), so that creating a new item (event, todo ..) does not involve so many clicks, prompts, and windows. The current way of entering things sort of dates and ages the software. This extension can be lightened up both in the number of choices and by in-place editing of at least the title of an event or todo. This removes the burden of opening so many windows.
    Thanks again for a great extension.

  14. hi,
    there is one BIG bug i hope its no feature :))!
    make an event from day x to day y. then change starting day x to e.g. one day before (x-1). then sunbird changes the ending day by one day also (y-1)!!! because of this bug (or “feature”?), i missed several event-endings. i have to change starting or ending dates or times very often, but only ONE of them. why is there an automation?
    is there anybody out there planning with fixed time-slots? i don’t think so. you always plan or change a starting OR an ending date.
    thanks,
    tichy

  15. I was curious when the ability to send meeting invites would work? I love the new ability to receive meeting invites and have it automatically add them to the lightning calendar, but I was just curious when I could send them.

  16. Sorry to get to your posts rather late. I will address several items in one massive reply. I’ll try to be more on top of this next time.
    *Sending meeting invitations will be ready in the next release. Add yourself to the CC list of 334681 to watch for progress on that
    * Tichy: I think this is a reported bug, you might want to check bugzilla to be sure, and file a new one if this issue isn’t addressed.
    * Ricardo: thanks, we’ll check out mobical
    * Galik: there was some work on a XULRunner based system a while ago. I don’t think anyone’s built it in a while. You can ask in #calendar or you can try building it yourself and let us know what you get.
    * zsdr: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/lightning/nightly/latest-trunk/
    * spnorth: printing a week view was just reviewed. It should land in a nightly within a week or so: see bug 332063
    * Matt: the theme source is at: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/calendar/sunbird/themes/
    * Martin, please file the openXChange issue in bugzilla. I think we can track it better there.
