| ==Day View and Week View date format does not match system==
| | See [[:Category:Issues - Calendar]] |
| | |
| '''Issue:''' In Day View and Week View column headings, the date is displayed as
| |
| month/day, not in the operating system format, even though elsewhere
| |
| dates are correctly displayed in the operating system format, such as
| |
| day/month/year.
| |
| | |
| '''Versions:'''
| |
| * Sunbird 0.3 (11 Oct 2006)
| |
| * Lightning 0.3 (11 Oct 2006)
| |
| | |
| '''Background:'''
| |
| * Fixed in development builds as of 20 October 2006 ([https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345643 Bug 345643] "Short date display in dayview and weekview are not localizable").
| |
| | |
| '''Workarounds:'''
| |
| * Use '''month/day/year''' as [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Date_display_format#Configuring_the_date.2Ftime_system_settings_on_your_computer date/time system settings on your computer] so format is consistent everywhere, or
| |
| * Use a '''nightly build''' newer than 20 October 2006. (See developer builds section on [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/download.html Sunbird download page] or [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/download.html Lightning download page])
| |
| | |
| ==Alerts by email are not sent==
| |
| | |
| '''Issue:''' Email alerts are not sent.
| |
| | |
| '''Versions:'''
| |
| * Sunbird (all versions)
| |
| * Calendar Extension extending Firefox.
| |
| | |
| '''Background:'''
| |
| * Sunbird is built on an application base similar to Firefox: it includes http and ftp but does not include email services.
| |
| * The Calendar extension extends the base application to which it is added (Firefox, Thunderbird, or Mozilla Suite): email services are available on Thunderbird or Mozilla Suite, but not on Firefox.
| |
| See [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ Calendar vs. Sunbird] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237148 Bug 237148].
| |
| | |
| '''Workarounds:'''
| |
| * Use Thunderbird, and either Calendar Extension or Lightning.
| |
| * Use Mozilla Suite or SeaMonkey, and Calendar Extension.
| |
| | |
| ==Some iCalendar (*.ics) files are not readable by Apple iCal==
| |
| | |
| '''Issue:''' Apple iCal will not read in some iCalendar (filename.ics) files published by Sunbird or Calendar Extension.
| |
| | |
| '''Versions:'''
| |
| * Sunbird 0.2.
| |
| * Calendar Extension 0.8.3 extending any base application.
| |
| | |
| '''Background:''' The problem is known to happen when there are long descriptions, which are wrapped to 75 characters in the iCalendar (filename.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:
| |
| | |
| ''Workaround 1:'' Use only empty or short descriptions, less than 75 characters, so no descriptions are wrapped.
| |
| | |
| ''Workaround 2:'' Use Export, which post-processes line ends to work around the problem:
| |
| * Deselect other calendars in the "Calendars" tab.
| |
| * View "All Events" in the event list filter (drop down field), and clear the "contains" search field if necessary.
| |
| * Select all events: Click in event list to focus on it. Type control-a (or click "Edit -> Select All"). Background behind selected events will be highlighted.
| |
| * Click "File -> Export Selected Events...".
| |
| * Choose a local filename.
| |
| * Format: Use "Save as type" of "Calendar Files", not "vCalendar Files".
| |
| * Click "Save".
| |
| * Publish the file to your server using other means, such as manual ftp.
