Thanks for the tips Adrian,
I'm only using sunbird while testing. For production we have a flex
developer who will be creating a flex UI for the calendar, we still have
many questions to answer such as whether to access the calendar
information using iCalendar, or to expose the workeffort services using
REST.
Many thanks,
Chris

It can be tricky getting things set up correctly, but once they are
everything should work as expected.
Some notes on using Sunbird:
1. Setting alarms on an OFBiz iCalendar means the alarms will be
shared by everyone accessing the calendar. So, if one user dismisses
the alarm it is dismissed for everyone. This has been reported to
Mozilla, and they are in no hurry to do anything about it.
2. If Sunbird attempts to refresh the screen and the OFBiz server is
temporarily unavailable, Sunbird will set the OFBiz iCalendar to
read-only mode. It must be manually changed back to read/write.

Hi Adrian,
I think I had to associate a child event to the iCalendar workeffort
before I could create events in Sunbird. - I can't remember exactly
I have tried so many combinations of things now!
Many thanks,
Chris

Chris,
Make sure Sunbird is authenticating to OFBiz and that the user has
the correct permissions. According to the iCalendar spec, in order
to update a calendar, the user must be the calendar owner or a
delegate.

When I use a calendar application (sunbird) to access my iCalendar
and create an event, the event doesn't show in the ofbiz calendar.
Looking though the ofbiz code, it looks as though the iCalendar
implementation only stores data in WorkEffortIcalData. I was
expecting to be able to see externally scheduled items appear in
the ofbiz calendar and vice versa.
Have I understood this correctly?
Many thanks in advance,
Chris
