hi there,

I imported calendar.ics of Mozilla suite to Sunbird. It did not show any
error, however... No tasks are imported or they are not viewed in
Sunbird. "Events" are o.k.

why?

TIA,
yo

I have the same error, then i see that in error console in tools menu i
get a lot of errors in line 803 of component file "calDavCalendar.js". I
move it out and then start Sunbird, all was fine then.

But the question is: What exactelly does "calDavCalendar.js"? It is
really needed? What was wrong in line 803? Can u help me?

P.D: Extract of errors in console:

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/calendar/providers/caldav/calDavCalendar.js#803
That's line 803. This error is caused by installing Sunbird 0.3 into
the same directory as a previous installation, without first
uninstalling the old version (the release notes explicitly say that you
need to uninstall).

Let me also note that unless you are sure you should be using calDAV,
you really want to be using iCalendar.

I'd love to see a testcase calendar file containing a single task that
refuses to be imported. That would help dramatically in identifying the
problem.

hello Joey,

I attached a test file. This calender file was originally created by
Mozilla Calendar 2004040813-cal. (extention 200404813 under Mozilla
1.7.13 os/2) It should include following tasks and an event.

===========================
Tasks
Title: testing
Location: iowa
Start: 10/01/06 10:30
Due Date: 10/01/06 11:30

Title: Future
Location: iowa
Start: 10/21/06 8:30 am
Due Date: 10/21/06 3:30 pm

Events
Title: birthday-test
Start: 10/21/2006 10:30 pm
End: 10/22/2006 11:30 pm
============================

I imported it under Win2K Mozilla Calendar 2005011112-cal. Its import
function worked perfect. In Sunbird 0.3, however, "tasks" were not
imported. (At least nothing is seen in the list of tasks, everything is
ok i the list of events.

Further I tested newer versions of Calendar extensions in Mozilla 1.7.13
Windows 2000 such as 20051231.xpi; 20060106.xpi; 20060121.xpi.
None of the three worked under Mozilla 1.7.13 in Windows 2000. No
calendar file was shown. Even clicking for functions for creating new
calendar, Version info, etc. did not work. Zero response by the clicking..

Hope the above info can bring some positive ideas..
yo

Another test was done for newer versions

MozillaCalendarTEST01.ics

Gee. One way you're lucky. I don't get any error, but it just does not
work....

thanks,

Hello,

I tested your attachment. If I open the *.ics file directly via
File->Open the tasks are displayed fine.

After import to internal calendar I can see that the task are
successfully stored in database file. So the import was OK.

But the tasks are not displayed in the task list as you noticed. I
guess there is a problem with the query used to load the items from
database file. The only difference to other tasks I see is the use
of 'floating' times.

Would be nice if you could file a bug about this issue.

/Stefan
