| ==Alerts by email are not sent==
| | See [[:Category:Issues - Calendar]] |
| | |
| '''Issue:''' Email alerts are not sent.
| |
| | |
| '''Versions:''' Sunbird 0.2 and Calendar Extension 0.8.3 on Firefox.
| |
| | |
| '''Background:''' Sunbird 0.2 is built on a plain Mozilla core and the Calendar extension builds on a modfied core. As a result, some network services are not available. See [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ Calendar vs. Sunbird] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237148 Bug 237148].
| |
| | |
| '''Workarounds:''' Do not use the Calendar extension on Sunbird.
| |
| | |
| ==Some ICS files are not readable by Apple iCal==
| |
| | |
| '''Issue:''' Apple iCal will not read in some .ics files published by Sunbird or Calendar Extension.
| |
| | |
| '''Versions:''' Sunbird 0.2 and Calendar Extension 0.8.3.
| |
| | |
| '''Background:''' The problem is known to happen when there are long descriptions, which are wrapped to 75 characters in the ICS file using LF instead of CRLF line ends. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=283881 Bug 283881].
| |
| | |
| '''Workarounds:''' Instead, use one of the workarounds below:
| |
| | |
| * Use only empty or short descriptions, less than 75 characters, so no descriptions are wrapped.
| |
| * Use Export, which post-processes line ends to work around the problem:
| |
| ** Deselect other calendars in the calendars tab.
| |
| ** Select "View All Events" in the event list.
| |
| ** Select "All Events".
| |
| ** Select "File -> Export Selected Events".
| |
| ** Use Calendar file format (ICS, not VCS).
| |
| ** Publish the calendar using other means, such as manual FTP.
