At work we use Mozilla Thunderbird with Lightning plugin to manage our calendar, and I want to sync with my Google Calendar account.
The problem is that in my Google Calendar account, I have 3 specific calendars, and I just want to sync one of them.
If I use the XML option in Lighting I can't accept any invite.
I tried the iCal mode, but it didn't worked.
So I tried to use the CalDav and it worked, but it syncs all 3 of my calendars.
The Google Calendar API suggests to use this link to connect the CalDav:
https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/yourID/events
I want to sync just a single calendar of my Google Calendar Account with the Lighting plugin in Thunderbird.
Can I have some CalDav url to set just a specific calendar instead of all 3 calendars?
Thuderbird 24.5
Lightning 2.6.5

Use the URL you suggest,
https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/yourID/events
, but rather than usingyour.cool.username@gmail.com
as the substitute foryourID
, put in the calendar name instead.To find that name, start with a Google Calendar window, then go to Settings->Calendars and click on the name of the Calendar you care about. Now scroll down to the "Calendar Address" row and look to the right of the XML/ICAL/HTML links to where it says "Calendar ID". This should look like an email address with a bunch of random-looking letters and numbers followed by
@group.calendar.google.com
. That whole thing is what you substitute foryourID
.
