Calendar:FAQ
A FAQ in the Wiki. - Mostly questions from news://netscape.public.mozilla.calendar
The official FAQ is at: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/faq.html
Files
Where is my Calendar file?
Select the "Calendars" tab in the upper right area of the screen (above the "Tasks"-list). Right click on the calender and select "edit Calendar". The file name and path are shown in the label next to "Lokal File Location".
How do I save my Calender-file on a FTP
It's tricky at first to figure it out but this is the way to proceed:
- Create a local calendar.
- Add an event and exit calendar.
- Copy the new calendar file to the FTP server (under another name if you wish).
- Return to calendar and fill in the "remote server URL" field of the new calendar. (ftp://user:pass@domain/filename)
That's all! It should work now!
The trick is that at least one event have to exist in your new calendar, otherwise, the file is empty and seen as "invalid".

Installation
How can I install calendar in my current Version of XY? It doesn't work.
Download the most recent calendar.xpi. Open it with your favorite zip-program. You might need to rename the .xpi to .zip. But don't forget to rename it afterwards. Extrakt the install.rdf and edit the var <em:maxVersion> of the Application you want to use to the Version you are using. I.e. 1.0 -> 1.0+ or 1.0->1.1 or whatever. Repack the install.rdf. Now you should be able to install it. Warning: This shouldn't do no harm, but don't do it if you have no idea what you are doing.

TB / FF crashes / shows an error after installing Calendar
This is a bug. It will happen each time you do someting withh your extensions (install, delete, update). The next time you start TB/FF everything is fine.
Suntray
As there are quite a few Questions about Suntray I'll add them here.
Suntray does not start Sunbird
Put Suntray in the same folder as Sunbird and start it with " -start".
I don't get any arlarms
This is probably because Sunbird isn't running. Suntray doesn't show any arlarms, 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 arlarms. Try running Suntray with " -warn" so you are warned when you close Sunbird.
