Description
This plug-in puts a dynamically updated calendar into any page. The calendar stores its data in iCal format and allows incoming and outgoing calendar subscription.
The plugin offers day, week and month views. You can have multiple calendars per page. And your items can link to other pages for elaborating details.
 | Possible Bug Users have reported that some accounts cannot see scheduled events. We recommend that you notify your users about the risk until we can fully re-test the plugin. |
Downloading & Installing
 | Due to changes in Daylight Savings Time laws in the US, it is important to update your JDK if you are having issues with dates after March 11, 2007. See the following page for details: http://java.sun.com/javase/tzupdater_README.html |
| Due to changes in Confluence, there are separate versions for Confluence 1.4.4, 2.0 and 2.1. Uploading the plugin is only supported from plugin version 2.3 onwards. |

Examples
Creating the basic calendar
Creating a calendar is a two-stage process. Firstly, you have to define where the calendar will appear on the page. Edit a page in Wiki Markup mode:
Below is my vacation calendar.
{calendar:id=vacation|title=My Vacation}
By specifying the title, a new calendar called 'My Vaction' will automatically be created for you. It should look something like this:
You can add events to this immediately.
Adding Events
To add a new event, hover your mouse over a day on the main calendar display and click the 'add event' icon which appears:
Next, a panel asking which calendar you want to add to will appear:
Select 'My Vacaction' and click next. Enter the details for the event:
Click 'Add' to finish the job.
Adding a new calendar
Alternately, you might want to add a new calendar, either one allowing events to be added via Confluence, or one which subscribes to an iCal file elsewhere on the Internet.
Firstly, click the 'Add a calendar link'. If more than one type of calendar is available, you will have to select the calendar type:
Then, enter the calendar details:
The example above is subscribing to the 'Australian Holidays' calendar. You can subscribe to it yourself by entering the following URL as the subscription location:
http://icalx.com/public/rohanl/Australian32Holidays.ics
If you want to be able to add events through Confluence, set the location to 'Local'.
Another option is to create a calendar through an uploaded iCal file. To do this, click "Attachments" under "Page Operations," then upload the .ics file. Return to your calender page, click "Add A Calender" and select "Attachment" as the location. Use Wiki Markup language in the form box to reference the attached file: ^mycalendarname.ics.
Timezones
With version 2.1.10 of the plugin, you can now specify both specific event timezones as well as the display timezone for the main calendar.
Adding events in different timezones
Setting the timezone for an event is simple - just change the the option below the event time. Note that all-day events do not have a timezone - they apply to the whole day on the specified date, regardless of the timezone. An example is below:
Viewing the main calendar in a different timezone
You can change what timezone you view calendars in. Note that you must be logged in for this to work, and the setting will apply to all calendars on the site. You can change the display timezone at any time.
To do so, simply click on the name of the current timezone in the top-left of the calendar display:
You will then be asked to select a new timezone. Choose the one you want and click 'Save'. You will be returned to the page you came from.
Note: In Confluence 2.3+, this now uses the standard user-set timezone, available in the user's preferences.
Publicly Available Calendars
There are numerous public calendars for things like holidays, regional events, etc. One of the best repositories can be found at http://icalshare.com/.
Custom Themes
If you are using a custom theme, you need to ensure that some javascripts are included in your theme (or create a user macro to get them included on your page). This is also important to ensure that other Confluence features like labels are correctly supported.
The scripts are prototype.js and effects.js - both of which can be obtained from http://script.aculo.us
These scripts are usually included with Confluence 2.x standard themes.
Internationalization
The plugin is mostly internationalized. 95% of the text has been put into a properties file (CalendarMacro.properties. Other languages can be added by creating modified versions of this file and saving them with the appropriate language code (eg. CalendarMacro_de.properties, etc.)
How this file is linked into Confluence depends on the version of Confluence you are using.
Confluence 2.3+
The files must now be loaded into the plugin to work, although alternately a separate plugin can be created for additional language files if this works out to be simpler. In the meantime, the German translation has been added to Calendar 2.3. Please feel free to supply translations into other languages.
- In Confluence 2.3 (using Calendar 2.3+), the locale will be that specified by the user themselves, or the server default if they do not have one. If a translation is not available for the current locale, it will display the default English translation.
Also, feel free to contribute any translations you produce here and they will be added to future versions of the plugin. Contributions so far are listed here:

User contributed information
 | Performance Advisory This is one of the best plugins for Confluence, however it's also one of the most system and database intensive and is susceptible to users inadvertently creating calendar pages that can consume massive amounts of system resources while rendering the page. |

Does this mean that if I create a new page with a calendar in it, add a calendar macro with the same id as another existing calendar, and then copy the database row, substituting the new page's CONTENTID for ENTITY_ID - it should work?
I'm trying it but am strugging with copying the clob data using SQL - my query completes with "success" but the clob data does not copy:
update WIKI."OS_PROPERTYENTRY" set WIKI."OS_PROPERTYENTRY".TEXT_VAL = (select TEXT_VAL from OS_PROPERTYENTRY where entity_id=315 AND entity_key='
confluence.extra.calendar:mycal') where WIKI."OS_PROPERTYENTRY".entity_id=311;

update OS_PROPERTYENTRY
set OS_PROPERTYENTRY.entity_id = 311
where OS_PROPERTYENTRY.entity_id = 315
and OS_PROPERTYENTRY.entity_key = 'confluence.extra.calendar:mycal'
As always, please take a database backup before playing around with it.

I ask because I am in search of a Calendar Plugin that can be used instead of MS Project. It would be especially nice if this plugin would allow me to add an event, for say QA testing over a period of two weeks, and another event, say Release to Lab test that has a target date that depends on the QA testing event to be completed. So if the QA testing slips a few days, the Release to Lab event will be dynamically updated. Any info is appreciated, thanks.

That said, the plugin is built to be flexible, and it may be that another calendar/event format might be able to do that. It would mean building the format from the ground up however, so it's unlikely to happen quickly.

However, I can say that the Calendar plugin will never be a complete replacement for Microsoft Project, unless you use only the most simple functionality of that application.
You're probably better taking a look at Jira, and the Calendar portlet and plugins that come with that. I'd say there's a better chance of finding a plugin to track and update your 'dependent tasks' in Jira than in Confluence.

I could be misreading this but CAL-80 is more about event alarms than putting a calendar on watch.
I do not require notification at a predetermined time prior to a calendar event, i just need the ability to put a calendar on watch so whenever it is updated (event added or edited) a watch notification is sent out.
Is this possible?
Cheers

To my understanding, you meant to say that you would like to watch a calendar so that whenever an event is added/edited/deleted, you will be notified? If that is the case, I am not aware that the Calendar plugin provides such feature. Hence, you may want to add comments to the existing CAL-80 to reflect your idea of watch and notifying the watcher.
If the above is not an option to you, feel free to raise your idea(as a new Feature Request) in the plugin's Issue Tracker:

Set up Outlook to export iCal and then publish where Confluence can see it This ...Set up Outlook to export iCal and then publish where Confluence can see it
This is my setup for exporting my Outlook calendar so I can add it to my other Confluence development calendars for the various projects.
First Install: outlook2ical
Create a publish work directory and save the .js file from this site into your working folder:
Next install the Outlook Redemption (allows you to read the body of Outlook calendar items)
Now you have the software you need. The general idea is to create a batch file that will call the js script and then copy the resulting .ics output file to a webserver that confluence can see. In my case I create the .ics file locally and then pscp (secure copy from PuTTy) to my linux server that runs apache and confluence. (htdocs/dusty-calendar.ics).
Once the JS file is updated. Then create the batch file to run this script and send the file to where you want it. I scheduled this as a Windows Scheduled Task (Control Panel) to run each night at 5:30 after I leave from work.
Good Luck!
In your batch file you could just create the file into a local apache directory or ftp the thing somewhere.
Here is a copy of my batch file contents:
Before you run it you need to configure the JS file a bit
You need to do 2 things before the js file will work
function createEvent(item) { var event = "BEGIN:VEVENT\n"; event += "UID:" + item.EntryID + "\n"; //*<----Add this Line!* if (item.alldayevent == true) { event += "DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:" + formatDate(item.start) + "\n"; if (item.isrecurring == false) { event += "DTEND;VALUE=DATE:" + formatDate(item.end) + "\n"; }Sep 28, 2006
Dustin Pearce says:

I have a project home page for each of my development projects. Customers, bosses, etc can go this page and there is a calendar setup there for all the development related events. When will I be working on what, when things are due, when are scheduled releases, etc, etc. Each project team then has their own project calendar.
Then I create a rollup calendar. One for myself. I have my own space in Confluence and I have my personal calendar on the home page of this space. I go to each project calendar and then copy the link for download. I add a subscribed calendar for each project in my home calendar. (be sure to add the os_username=[yourusername]&os_password=[yourpassword] to the end of the calendar url. Each project gets its own color and I can see all of my project dates, meetings (see outlook setup above), release schedules, etc, etc in one central calendar. I give my immediate boss access to see this calendar. He almost passed out when I showed him what we could do with confluence.
I also created various roll-ups for PMs or Execs that want to track various projects. Each project also has a jira list (in confluence) and a blog (added to by the project teams). These can also be rolled up on the various levels of managment or on your personal space.
Finally, if you want to see your Confluence development calendars in Outlook you can do so if you installed the outlook2ical Outlook extension mentioned above. Copy the download url for one of your Confluence urls and then paste into the "Calendar URL" field when you click "Subscribe to New Calendar" on your Outlook toolbar. (outlook2ical installs a nifty new iCal toolbar for you.)
Hurray for iCal and Confluence!

I managed to make subscription work with a calendar on a different page on my local confluence installation.
However, testing this on our company wiki (Confluence 2.5.3), which uses https, fails with errors:
This is a difficult one for me to solve. Any help would be appreciated.
Another thought I have: shouldn't is be a a lot easier to subscribe to a calendar in the same Confluence wiki? It should be sufficient just to supply space, page, page calendar id (the one specified in the macro) and the internal calendar.
I might overlook something here, but is could be more user-friendly, in my opinion.

It will be fixed in the next version, hopefully out in the next few weeks.

There are two different concepts called "calendar", right? One is the object created by using the macro in a markup. The other is a collection of events within a calendar object, created by using the Add Calendar option?
Assuming that's right, there doesn't appear to be a way to filter a view of collections within an object to just display some and not others, correct? I also can't coerce a view of a calendar to draw from two calendar objects. We have a variety of interesting things to calendar - employee vacations vs release dates vs customer milestones, for example. If we set these up in one calendar, it gets swamped, but there are different combinations of collections that would be great to see in one place: vacation days and release schedules; release schedules and customer milestones, etc.
Am I on track? ...thanks

I was unable to come up with better terminology, unfortunately.
Currently, you can't filter events out based on their 'event group', but that is high on the priority list for future versions. There is a feature request for that here.
As for the second part, I'm not fully clear on what you're asking, but are you talking about having calendars on completely separate pages, and then another calendar which combines them all together on a different page? This is somewhat possible now, but it's a kind of roundabout solution which doesn't work in all Confluence environments. That is, your 'collator' calendar subscribes to the ICAL subscription URL for the other calendars. A better solution is also on the todo list, but hasn't been started yet.
Hope that helps, or at least answered your questions...

as for the secind part - i tried to subscribe to an internal calendar but didn't succeed. It always gave me an authentication error, though my user/password were set correctly. After debbuging i found, that the request header was not set correctly. The URLSource class used BASIC instead of Basic.

That said, be aware that 2.1.11 includes an updated version of the iCal parser, which is much stricter than the previous version. While this is great for new calendars, it means that some older calendars were allowed to break the rules, and the new parser doesn't let them load. I am investigating ways around this for the next release. More information can be found here.
If you find your calendar breaks, you can safely downgrade back to 2.1.8-DR3 using the same process.

I was actually looking into just getting a list of the events without having to display the calendar at all.
So for example if an upcoming week has 2 events, I want to be able to just display these 2 events without the need to display the calendar in weekly or daily view.
I hope that made sense.

A friend added a remote calendar into his calendar plugin page. However, now that page fails to render. It just hangs. We figure that it's hanging on trying to connect to the remove server. The load on the box isn't high, the page just (so far) never renders. This is with the latest version of this plugin in Confluence 2.2.9.
Of course this raises another issue: how do you delete a page that can't render?

The theme is not applied, and do not have access to the usual links like "Edit".
I have Confluence 2.3.1 and Calendar plugin 2.3.
I used to have Calendar plugin 2.1.7 as it worked with Confluence 2.3.1.

I have the same "problem". But the reason is that you have to provide a parameter to the macro. Because the macro doesn´t know which events it should display.
If you just write {calendar-events} you will get a NullPointer for the missing parameters.

But is there any possibility to choose for example just one calendar and list the events of it? My problem is that I have a team holiday calendar, a project calendar and a calendar subsription of public holidays to coordinate team holidays. All calendars are part of {calendar} on one page. And if I use the {calendar-events}-macro all events are shown - including the public holidays I don´t want to show.
