PluginGoogleCalendar¶

A simple plugin to include 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 <iframe> if the user does not have a timezone selected.

Currently, the only way to install is using Git and GitHub:

URL: http://github.com/mully/redmine_google_calendar/tree/master

To install from git:¶

(Git Version < 1.5.3)

$ cd {RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins
$ git clone git://github.com/mully/redmine_google_calendar.git

(Git Version >= 1.5.3 -- Because the "git-rails" gem uses Git Submodules introduced in ver. 1.5.3)

$ sudo gem install git-rails
$ git-rails install git://github.com/mully/redmine_google_calendar.git

Plugin setup¶

1. Install the tzinfo gem if it does not already exist on your server:

   $ sudo gem install tzinfo

2. Install the plugin as described here (this plugin doesn't require migration).
3. Go to "Administration -> Custom fields" and create a Project custom field of "long string" type, named 'Google Calendar IFrame' for example.
4. Go to "Administration -> Plugins -> Google Calendar Plugin > Configure" to configure the Google Calendar plugin:
• select the project custom field which contains the Google Calendar-iframe; in this example select the newly created project custom field "Google Calendar IFrame"

Enabling Calendar at project level¶

Retrieve the Google Calendar embedding-code (<iframe>)¶

Go to the Google Calendar you want to embed:

1. Click on "Settings" in the upper left hand corner
2. Click on the "Calendars" tab
3. Select the calendar you want to use
4. In the "Embed This Calendar" section, copy the entire <iframe> code from the text box

(If this is a private calendar, you will have to replace the "src" in the <iframe> with the HTML found by clicking the blue "HTML" block in the "Private Address" section on the same page.)

Add the Google Calendar embedding-code (<iframe>) in the Redmine project¶

In your project in Redmine, go to "Project settings" :

1. On the "Modules" tab: enable the module by checking "Google Calendar".
2. On the "Information" tab: paste the <iframe> code, that you have copied to your clipboard from Google, into the 'Google Calendar IFrame' project custom field you created in step 1.

After that, a new item named "Calendar" should show up in the project menu. Click on this item to see your Google Calendar.
