17 | h2. Description |
||
18 | |||
19 | The Google Calendar plugin is a simple Redmine plugin which provides the project-manager a way to include a Google Calendar iframe as a tab within Redmine projects. The calendar timezone will be user-dependent based off the timezone in your Redmine user account and defaulted to the timezone set in the <code><iframe></code> if the user does not have a timezone selected. |
||
20 | |||
21 | 1 | Eric Davis | h2. Compatibility |
22 | |||
23 | 7 | Mischa The Evil | This plugin is compatible with Redmine 0.8.x as well as with the current Redmine trunk. |

25 | h2. Prerequisites |
||

52 | 7 | Mischa The Evil | h2. Installation |
53 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | |
54 | 7 | Mischa The Evil | # Download the plugin from the available sources (see "Obtaining":http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/PluginGoogleCalendar#Obtaining) |
55 | # Install the plugin as described at: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/Plugins, according to the way you've obtained the plugin (this plugin does not require a plugin database migration) |
||
56 | # Restart Redmine |
||
57 | |||
58 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | h2. Global setup |
59 | |||
60 | Before you can actually use the plugin within the preferred projects some setup has to be done first. |
||
61 | |||
62 | # Go to "Administration -> Custom fields" and create a Project custom field of the type "long text", named 'Google Calendar IFrame' for example. |
||
63 | 1 | Eric Davis | # Go to "Administration -> Plugins -> Google Calendar Plugin > Configure" to configure the Google Calendar plugin: |
64 | * select the project custom field which contains the Google Calendar-iframe; in this example select the newly created project custom field "Google Calendar IFrame" |
||
65 | |||
66 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | h2. Project level setup |
67 | 1 | Eric Davis | |
68 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | After you have completed the global setup of the plugin you can select which projects will actually be able to use the feature brought by the plugin. Due to the way the plugin implements this feature it is also possible to configure which Google Calendar is actually being displayed on a project level base. |
69 | The project level setup consists of the following two tasks: |
||
70 | 1 | Eric Davis | |
71 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | h3. Retrieve the embedding-code from Google |
72 | 1 | Eric Davis | |
73 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | You should retrieve the actual Google Calendar embedding-code (<code><iframe></code>). Therefore, go to the Google Calendar which you want to embed and: |
74 | |||
75 | 1 | Eric Davis | # Click on "Settings" in the upper left hand corner |
76 | # Click on the "Calendars" tab |
||
77 | # Select the calendar you want to use |
||
78 | # In the "Embed This Calendar" section, copy the entire <code><iframe></code> code from the text box |
||
79 | |||
80 | (If this is a private calendar, you will have to replace the "src" in the <code><iframe></code> with the HTML found by clicking the blue "HTML" block in the "Private Address" section on the same page.) |
||
81 | 10 | Mischa The Evil | |
82 | For detailed help on how to obtain the calendar-information see http://www.google.com/calendar/embed/EmbedHelper_en.html. |
||
83 | 1 | Eric Davis | |
84 | h3. Configure the plugin per each project |
||
85 | |||
86 | Now the copied <code><iframe></code> code should be added to a Redmine project. At first we need to make sure the plugin is enabled for the project. |
||
87 | In the preferred Redmine project, go to the "Project settings": |
||
88 | |||
89 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | # On the "Modules" tab: enable the plugin-module by checking "Google Calendar". |
90 | 1 | Eric Davis | # On the "Information" tab: paste the <code><iframe></code> code, that you have copied to your clipboard from the Google Calendar you want to embed, into the 'Google Calendar IFrame' project custom field you created in the global setup under step 1. |
91 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | |
92 | 3 | Mischa The Evil | After that, a new item named "Calendar" will show up in the project menu. Click on this item to see your Google Calendar. |

94 | 12 | Mischa The Evil | h2. FAQ |
95 | |||
96 | # On the project overview tab I see the iframe code. Could that be removed? |
||
97 | 13 | Mischa The Evil | ** Yes, see Redmine patch #1746 which provides an option to project custom fields to hide them from the project overview especially written for this purpose. |
