[SOLVED] Thunderbird integration with KDE Digital Clock Widget

Is there a way to integrate Thunderbird's Lightning calendar extension with the KDE Digital Clock widget (default clock) so that clicking on it shows you your calendar events? Something similar like using the Evolution Data Server Mirror to sync with the GNOME Panel clock.

I have tried fiddling with various widgets, exporting iCalendars and importing with Personal Information settings, but nothing has worked so far.

Publish your calendar in Thunderbird as a local .ics file, and then add an akonadi resource pointing to it.

Hey arojas

While trying that, I saw the Akonadi Server was not running. After restarting the server and adding the .ics resources again, it worked perfectly. Thanks for the help.

Re: [SOLVED] Thunderbird integration with KDE Digital Clock Widget

Hello

I use these steps in Thunderbird 31:
"New Calendar" >> "On the Network" >> "iCalendar (ICS)"
and use the "file://" protocol for the "Location" and give it the path of iCalendar file I use in the Akonadi/KOrganizer, i.e: "file:///home/MYNAME/calendar.ics"
also check the calndar "Properties" and uncheck the "Read Only", if it is necessary.
