See also: Calendar Plugin

Release History

Macros

{basic-calendar}

Details: Renders the calendar, along with any specified events

Parameters:

Name	Required	Description
month		The calendar month to display.
year		The year to display.

Examples:

For just a basic calendar:

{basic-calendar:month=3|year=2005}
{basic-calendar}

Or you can add some events to the calendar like this:

{basic-calendar:month=aug|year=2005}
3 - Complete some large task for a change.
11 - stuff to do
11 - more stuff to do
{basic-calendar}

Gives you:

Days with events will appear different than those without events. Placing the mouse over the days with events will popup the description for the event.

Known Issues

• mouse over pops don't work with IE. (not really sure why)

Also uses overLIB for the popup event display.

Requirements

• Confluence 1.4 or greater.

This plugin has only been tested on Confluence 1.4.1 and 1.4.2. I have no clue if it will work with earlier versions.

Downloading & Installing

First, start by reading the confluence docs.

Basically:

1. Download basic-cal-1.0.jar
2. Go to "Administration->Plugins"
3. Choose File and select the basic-cal jar that you download from this site.
4. Hit the upload button
5. Wait patiently...
6. You should have a "Basic Calendar Macros" Plugin in your list.
7. Go forth and have calendars...

Confluence 1.4.3 and earlier Users of Confluence 1.4.3 and earlier will have to manually install the plugin to get the popup functionality to work. (This is due to a path issue I haven't tracked down yet). To install the plugin manually, just copy the jar to: $CONFLUENCE_HOME/confluence/WEB_INF/lib/

Source: basic-cal-1.0.tgz
