h1. 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:
bq. URL: http://github.com/mully/redmine_google_calendar/tree/master
h2. To install from git:
(Git Version < 1.5.3)
<pre>
$ cd {RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins
$ git clone git://github.com/mully/redmine_google_calendar.git
</pre>
(Git Version >= 1.5.3 -- Because the "git-rails" gem uses Git Submodules introduced in ver. 1.5.3)
<pre>
$ sudo gem install git-rails
$ git-rails install git://github.com/mully/redmine_google_calendar.git
</pre>
h2. Plugin setup
# Install the tzinfo gem if it does not already exist on your server: <pre>$ sudo gem install tzinfo</pre>
# Install the plugin as described "here":http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/Plugins (this plugin doesn't require migration).
# Go to "Administration -> Custom fields" and create a Project custom field of "long text" string" type, named 'Google Calendar IFrame' for example.
# 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"
h2. Enabling Calendar at project level
h3. Retrieve the Google Calendar embedding-code (<iframe>)
Go to the Google Calendar you want to embed:
# Click on "Settings" in the upper left hand corner
# Click on the "Calendars" tab
# Select the calendar you want to use
# 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.)
h3. Add the Google Calendar embedding-code (<iframe>) in the Redmine project
In your project in Redmine, go to "Project settings" :
# On the "Modules" tab: enable the module by checking "Google Calendar".
# 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 the plugin setup under step 3. 1.
After that, a new item named "Calendar" should show up in the project menu. Click on this item to see your Google Calendar.
