I removed this add-on, restarted Thunderbird, installed this add-on, restarted Thunderbird, removed the calendar, removed the password from the "options", restarted Thunderbird and added the calender again. It does not ask me for a password. Is this because I used the old reference from Google?
Kind regards,
Kelly

the solution doesn´t work for me.
I am stuck at:
Add a new calendar, "Google Calendar, paste the XML Link, click next, give it a name and a color, click "next" and nothing happens. I can click a gazillion times on "Next", but nothing happens.
TB 31.2.0
Not sure where you got those instructions, but the xml link is no longer required. Just enter your email address when asked. If you have the Thunderbirthday extension enabled please disable it temporarily.
I have yet to update all documentation.

I had been struggling with the same issue. This is THE solution what was written by an other user (gegmar) on 15th of Oktober 2014:
"Since I read a lot of ratings complaining about issues with Google's Authentication service, I want to share my solution to this problem:
After updating to version 1.0.1 my calendars stopped syncing. So I first uninstalled and reinstalled the addon and then deleted my google password from the thunderbirds known-password-list (Extras->Settings->Security->Passwords->saved Passwords).
Then - after deleting all remained old google calendars - i added a new google calendar. The Addon asks for Authentication and then provides a list of your available calendars.
I hope it helps some of you with this issue. I really like this Addon because I have not found any other solution, that allows me to write to an online calendar (very useful for calendars used on muliple devices)"

I love it.
Here is a bug.
Preferences->Security->Passwords->User master password
This conflicts with the addon and makes thunderbird almost unusable. I had to remove the add-on, remove the master password and reinstall the add-on.

Hello,
the new events are synchronised with google but the old one disappeared. So I export them from google agenda and reimport in thunderbird. All is OK now. I think is due to a change in the google agenda API.
So I continue with the module.

I had to remove this and lightning, update TB and reinstall. Lightning is installed, but this gives the message that something wrong happened, try again, when I try to download.
Since I cant even download, I cant use any support form or mail to the developer...
Can you please help? Please send help via nummerskivan(at)gmail.com too, since I can't find it here if there comes to many new refs.

Hello All,
I was also searching solution after Google change the API URL and after this module comes some problem.
I build up one own cloud server (for example synology not soo expensive) which is support as well CalDaV ( and another very useful services), and very easy to set up. Now it is working well without google all of my calendars storing now there. With TB the synchronising working without problem.
So if anybody else would like to change from google calender, I offer this solution.
For publishing the calendar there is also some easy solution for example phpcalendar or the CMS system (drupal, wordpress) mainly giving module for publish calendars.

Works again - but Offline-Support not available
Thank your for the great add-on. The new versions works again on my computer. But the proble is, that the offline-support of the calenders are not available. Is theire a possibility to get it back?

bye bye google!
Thank you for this great addon, which I used until google changed their API.
Instead of reconfiguring all our computers to point to the new Google URL, we decided to switch to a self-hosted caldav server (like baikal, owncloud or radicale...).

After Google changed their API, the addon had some problems. However it seems that the developer has worked really fast, fixing the bugs related to the new API.
I have been using this addon for more that a year, and it works most of the time really great with all my google calendars (I blame googles old API, when there were problems).
Happy to see that the developer keeps working on the project.

Had nothing but trouble with ver. 1.01 - kept losing sync with Google calendar, events disappearing in Thunderbird, repeating event parameters garbled, etc. Rolling back to ver. 0.32 fixed everything.

Reverted back to Ver: 31.1.2 and this add-on is working again. CalDAV option can't compete with this one.

Its disappointing to see that this software is not working. But the nearest possible alternative i found is ThunderCal 1.1 which helps you open your gmail calendar in thunderbird just as Lightning does. Hope this helps
