I woudl like to know how to view my calendar in Thunderbird. I tried with ICS import, and CalDAV.

But, it asks for a name and password each time.

I used the user name and password, and no luck.

Thanks for any pointers.

Maybe you’re getting this?

https://github.com/salesagility/SuiteCRM/issues/4399

Broken in 7.8.7, fixed in 7.8.8 (I think), but I don’t know which version you’re running…

#3

I just upgraded to 7.9.7.

#4

Sorry, do you mean that you had the bug, and then upgraded to 7.9.7, or that you are now on 7.9.7 and you’re still getting the bug?

#5

I mean that I was using SuiteCRM with out trying to use TBird to see the calendar, and when I upgraded it, I decided to use the calendar, and it does nto work.

My previous version was 7.7.x, but not sure exactly which version.

So, I do not know f I had the bug before, but I have it now.

Maybe you can try posting on that Github Issue…

#7

I ma not using GitHub for install of upgrade. Does this mater?

I download the upgrade file and apply it from with in SuiteCRM.

Besides, I have no idea how github works or dealing with issues associated with it.

Thanks

I meant just post there as a regular user, offering your experience so the developers know that it’s not 100% fixed yet.

I don’t mean you need to contribute on the technical side.

You can try a simple test first, to make sure your problem is the same.

Go into your User profile, Advanced, and copy your iCal integration URL, which looks something like this:

http://your.server.com/ical_server.php?type=ics&key=bb75fc86-749e-7248-b089-54c74ba5f934&email=you@there.com

Now go into this website and paste that URL there as a GET command:

https://www.hurl.it/

If you can get a result showing your events (in text format), without authentication (user+password), then your calendar URL is working fine, you just need to tweak your Thunderbird settings. If it asks you for a password, then you have the bug.

Hello,

I tried your idea and I realized after looking at the URL you told me to get that it was an iCal format.

I was using the other two URL formats. I noted this in my initial question.

It is working:)

Thanks

I found a strange behaviour:
If I use a short password to protect my calendar I get an authorization problem,
While if I choose something similar to: “3b2ba89b-fee0-ac89-56d6-5a2e59f3ee24”

It works properly.

Hope this help,
Carlo Bruno

@araneus that’s an intereting find.

Can you please explain better which connection you’re using (iCal URL?) and what error you get when it fails?

Thanks

I was trying to view my suitecrm calendar in Gcalendar so i’ve entered a short password into “my profile” in order to let the system generate an Ical but I always get the authtorization request.
I’ve updated SuiteCRM to 7.9.7 version in order to solve the problem, but with no success. :frowning:
Then I’ve noticed that on a fresh installation (that I’ve set up some days ago to show a demo) the default password was quite longer, so I’ve tried to use that password into my instance and…

… It worked :slight_smile:
