===I don't get any alarms=== | ===I don't get any alarms=== | ||
This is probably because Sunbird isn't running. Suntray doesn't show any alarms, it just hides Suntray from your task bar. So do not exit Sunbird, only minimize it. If you close Sunbird, you won't get any alarms. Try running Suntray with " -warn" so you are warned when you close Sunbird. | This is probably because Sunbird isn't running.

===Webdav or Caldav: Which should I choose?=== | |||
Almost always Webdav. If you're subscribing to any of the holiday files from the project page, or creating an icalx account, these are definitely cases to choose webdav. Anything involving a .ics file is also grounds for choosing webdav. Webdav calendars also have the advantage of Sunbird's backup system. Future versions should be able to answer this question automatically for you. | |||
===Where are my backup files?=== | |||
Sunbird 0.3a1 provides automatic backup files for Webdav (.ics) calendars. These can be found in the 'BackupData' folder inside your profile directory. | |||
===I get a (javascript) error when I choose 'Refresh remote calendars'=== | |||
Errors that look something like this: | |||
<tt>Error: [Exception... "'Method not implemented' when calling method: | |||
[calICalendar::refresh]" nsresult: "0x80004001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)" | |||
location: "JS frame :: file:///E:/sunbird/components/calCompositeCalendar.js :: | |||
anonymous :: line 303" data: no] | |||
Source File: file:///E:/sunbird/components/calCompositeCalendar.js | |||
Line: 303</tt> | |||
occur when you have a caldav calendar in your list. At this point, support for caldav is still being implemented. Please see [[Calendar:FAQ#Webdav_or_Caldav:_Which_should_I_choose?]] to make sure that you really want a caldav calendar in this case. | |||
If your error does not involve <tt>calICalendar::refresh</tt> and <tt>NS_ERROR_NOT_IMPLEMENTED</tt> please consider reporting it. | |||
===I get a (javascript) error when I try to add/edit/delete an event=== | |||
Your calendar may be in read-only mode. If Sunbird experiences an error working with an ics calendar, it automatically places the calendar in read-only mode to prevent further damage to the data. It should also alert you that this has happened. Alternatively, you can manually place your own calendars (of any type in read-only mode. You can check whether a calendar is in read-only mode by double-clicking on the calendar in the calendar listbox (in the top left, behind the small calendar) and examining the appropriately labeled checkbox. | |||
If your calendar is not in read-only mode and you still experience an error, please consider reporting it. | |||
