Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 412971

(Calendar :: E-mail based Scheduling (iTIP/iMIP), defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.18.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Safari/533.18.5
Build Identifier: Thunderbird 3.1.4 Lightning 1.0b2

Currently there is no plug-in for setting up WebEx meetings from Thunderbird Events. We need to create them separately and copy/paste the details. Starting/Joining a WebEx meeting is also not easy and we need to copy/paste the url into a browser and start/join. It would be great if we could include a button and preferences to input WebEx settings and integrate with the calendar.

Reproducible: Always

Either Webex needs to send itip emails with correct information, or an extension needs to be created to use their API (if there is one) to create events from it.

This doesn't look like a bug on our side, maybe you could explain further.

Agree - ideally an extension needs to be created to use WebEx API. But at least url recognition would greatly help the incoming invites. The meeting invites that I get from others that have an url are not clickable. None of the extensions that allow text to url work too. This is not the case with iCal or Outlook or Entourage.

If I understand it correctly this is a duplicate of bug #412971. I think the rest is out of scope.
