1446398 - Show Google Calendar entry of event "created by" in Thunderbird Lightning

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Calendar :: Provider: GData, defect)

Description

[saj.saji]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/65.0.3325.146 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Installed Lightning extension in Thunderbird.


Actual results:

Google Calendar has been successfully synchronized, however one important issue is not displayed. Question: Is it possible to display in Thunderbird Lightning the name of the creator of a calendar event, just as in Google Calendar? In Google Calendar, when you click on an event, beside its title, date, time etc you also see the name of the person who created it. Can this information also be shown via Lightning?


Expected results:

Display the entry "created by" in Thunderbird Lightning

The organizer is displayed if this is a meeting:

- in calendar view, you can hover over the event and get the information displayed in the tooltip
- in event tab/window go to the attendee tab.

Thank you for your reply! However, both options you mentioned do not work. Neither after hovering over the event the information is displayed, nor in the attendee tab which is just empty in my case. 

The events are not necessarily meetings. Irrespective of that, in Google calendar under the calendar name (which is a team calendar containing a list of members with their email addresses), the information "created by" is shown after which the email address or name of the event creator is displayed. This information is not displayed in any element of Thunderbird Lightning extension. Please have a look again, I think this is indeed a bug.

I believe this needs support in Lightning first. There is no specific property I could map this to in the Provider for Google Calendar, so I am closing this bug. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
