Description Marco Zanon 2007-05-07 07:17:26 UTC 
Is it possible to make Clock bind to a different calendar source? Actually it only supports Evolution, but I'd like to switch to Mozilla Sunbird.

Thanks,

MZ

I'll second the request: I'd like to be able to select an alternate calendar for the gnome panel clock. It seems like the clock could pull from anything that generates an ICS panel and launch whatever calendar you tell it to, so what would it take to add this to the preference choices?

Thanks!

There's also an Ubuntu bug about this, here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-applets/+bug/153364

I agree and urge you developers to enable Gnome Clock support for Mozilla Sunbird calendar too.
Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2008-01-08 19:52:01 UTC 
I guess asking the sunbird developers to add support for GNOME clock applet is also an option here.
Comment 5 aldeby 2008-04-10 08:48:44 UTC 
Filled a bug report to mozilla too:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428265

However a joint effort would give better outcomes than pointing at others.
Support for this feature would still be really appreciated!
Thanks!

This would be quite useful. I'm marking a dependency on 384783 which allows the clock to open different applications.
Comment 7 Ofir 2008-11-22 22:36:58 UTC 
I also will be glad to see the clock applet integrated with other calenders (Sunbird, Google Calender etc.)

So, +1 from me!
Comment 8 Philip Withnall 2009-07-07 16:42:14 UTC 
Clock applet bugs live in the gnome-panel product. I'd be tempted to mark this as a duplicate of bug #338110, and have that as a master bug for adding support for other calendar backends.
Comment 9 Vincent Untz 2009-08-11 17:46:09 UTC 
The panel side is really bug 384783, which is fixed now. The interface to set the client is bug 171871.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 171871 ***
Comment 10 Vincent Untz 2009-08-11 17:50:26 UTC 
Hrm. Actually, I completely missed the backend side of things. Sorry.

So I highly doubt that we want to do this in the clock applet itself -- that's why we have e-d-s, actually. Sunbird should put its data in the same store as e-d-s. Let's track this in bug 338110, as Philip suggested.
