||
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. |

||
32 | |||
33 | h2. Prerequisites |
||
34 | |||
35 | The plugin requires the "@tzinfo@":http://tzinfo.rubyforge.org/ gem to be available. If it does not already exist on your server, you can install it using a command like: <pre>$ sudo gem install tzinfo</pre> |
||
36 | |||
37 | h2. Installation |
||
38 | |||
39 | bq. General Redmine plugin installation information can be found "here":http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/Plugins. |
||
40 | |||
41 | The installation of this plugin can be done using two different methods: |
||
42 | * using @git clone@ (Git version < 1.5.3)<pre> |
||
43 | 1 | Eric Davis | $ cd {RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins |
44 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | $ git clone git://github.com/MischaTheEvil/redmine_google_calendar.git |
45 | 1 | Eric Davis | </pre> |
46 | 4 | Mischa The Evil | |
47 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | * using @git-rails@ (Git version >= 1.5.3 -- Because the @git-rails@ gem uses Git Submodules which were introduced in v. 1.5.3)<pre> |
48 | 1 | Eric Davis | $ sudo gem install git-rails |
49 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | $ git-rails install git://github.com/MischaTheEvil/redmine_google_calendar.git |
50 | 1 | Eric Davis | </pre> |
51 | 3 | Mischa The Evil | |
52 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | The plugin does not require a database migration afterwards. It does require a restart of Redmine after the installation before the plugin is detected by Redmine and useable. |

54 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | h2. Global setup |
55 | |||
56 | Before you can actually use the plugin within the preferred projects some setup has to be done first. |
||
57 | |||
58 | # Go to "Administration -> Custom fields" and create a Project custom field of the type "long text", named 'Google Calendar IFrame' for example. |
||
59 | 1 | Eric Davis | # Go to "Administration -> Plugins -> Google Calendar Plugin > Configure" to configure the Google Calendar plugin: |
60 | * select the project custom field which contains the Google Calendar-iframe; in this example select the newly created project custom field "Google Calendar IFrame" |
||
61 | |||
62 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | h2. Project level setup |
63 | 1 | Eric Davis | |
64 | 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. |
65 | The project level setup consists of the following two tasks: |
||
66 | 1 | Eric Davis | |
67 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | h3. Retrieve the embedding-code from Google |
68 | 1 | Eric Davis | |
69 | 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: |
70 | |||
71 | 1 | Eric Davis | # Click on "Settings" in the upper left hand corner |
72 | # Click on the "Calendars" tab |
||
73 | # Select the calendar you want to use |
||
74 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | # In the "Embed This Calendar" section, copy the entire <code><iframe></code> code from the text box |
75 | 1 | Eric Davis | |
76 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | (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.) |
77 | 3 | Mischa The Evil | |
78 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | h3. Configure the plugin per each project |
79 | 1 | Eric Davis | |
80 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | 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. |
81 | In the preferred Redmine project, go to the "Project settings": |
||
82 | 1 | Eric Davis | |
83 | 5 | Mischa The Evil | # On the "Modules" tab: enable the plugin-module by checking "Google Calendar". |
84 | # 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. |
||
85 | 3 | Mischa The Evil | |
86 | 5 | 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. |
87 | |||
88 | h2. Uninstalling |
||
89 | |||
90 | # Remove the directory _"redmine_google_calendar"_ from the plugin-directory _"../vendor/plugins"_ |
||
91 | # Restart Redmine |
