JIRA Calendar Plugin

Hello,

 We just installed the calendar plugin into JIRA Professional Edition, Version: 3.6-#153.  We are unable to import the iCal file into Outlook 2003.  We get a "Cannot import vCalendar file." popup warning/error from Outlook.

 
Any ideas?  We like the calendar idea, but the default rendering in HTML doesn't show the actual names.

Thanks!

Hello,

We just finished our first release tracking issues using Jira. The problem is that when I "publish" the release, I'm not longer able to list the tasks that were included on it when I click on the release icon in the calendar (it shows now as a closed package). This is because the associated filter has the condition Resolution = Unresolved, and I already resolved all those issues because we finished work on them.

I think it would be nice if when you click in the release icon all the issues associated with the release were returned, regardless of the resolution.

Thanks,

This is a most excellent plugin, thanks for your effort in putting this together.

This is a wonderful plugin. The only thing that I'd like to see is an option to only show unresolved issues. That way we can see right away not only something is due, but it's still unresolved.

I thiink it would make more sense, instead of adding an unresolved yes/no flag, to instead incorporate this plugin into the Filter view. That way you can search for whatever criteria you want, then show it in a calendar/iCal feed.

On that note, vote for it at JCAL-13!

Good day,

This Plug in Seems to be very helpful,

however - is there a way for me to select ( Hard coded - or by upcoming version of the plug-in ) the info/values to be used in the Calendar View?

 Reason:

Due Date is mainly used for tasks and not actual issues that require fixing ( Bugs etc. ). So we use a custom field called "Expected Resolution Version" - ( which has no alternative in JIRA - no "Due Version" etc. ) - i would like to see issues with Due Version / Resolution Version especialy with the ability to Tag/Untag "Resolved/Unresolved",

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I just installed plugin by copying the JARs to WEB-INF/lib and then restarted Jira but I couldn't import the iCal file into Outlook 2003. I read your comments upward. I tried downloading the ICal file manually from my browser and then importing the downloaded file into outlook acording to your suggestion. Downloaded file's name was calendar and type of file is only file (not *.ics). When I tried to import file, Outlook didn't notice the file. I choose all files type and select downloaded file but  I saw "input  file  may be corrupted"  message.  What is the problem with ICal?

Hi !

    Is the plugin compatible with Jira 3.7.x ?

The screenshots show various colored squares (red, green, black, etc.).  I assume that they mean certain aspects of the project missed their deadlines, some are in danger of being missed, some are going well, etc.  How do I use these squares in my calendar?  Right now all I see are Issues listed on the dates due.  For example, 1/15/07 displays ISSUES: 2.

Thank you.

does this work on 3.7.x?

Hiya,

Just wanted to ask if there was any other configurable view other than due dates on calendars? For example, if you have an issue/task that has duration of 10d and you start work on the issue and log time against it, can this be reflected in the calendar. It would be good to show time spent against time remaining/planned.

Thoughts?

Cheers

PS I have issues

Hello, i want to add the portlet to a confluence page using the RunPortlet functionality, is that possible. would you show me the parameters that i have to pass to the app?

Best regards

At first look the plugin seems to work also for Jira 3.8.1.

Cheers

I installed the plugin on Jira 3.7.4. The problem I am having is that the colorsquares for issues with Blocker or Critical priorities did not display. There doesn't seem to be an issue with these priorities in the "Project" portlet - there these priorities display as red. I had to reset the Status Color of these priorities. Now the colors display. Can anyone explain why this happened?

Hello, it seems the links http://svn.atlassian.com/svn/public/contrib/jira/jira-calendar-plugin/jars/jira-calendar-plugin-1.6.jar give us the version 1.5

I'm trying to use the project Tab, but I am finding that it is including Resolved (even Closed) issues. This makes it difficult to see what is on the schedule since they show as 'Due' even though they have been closed. Am I missing something here?

 I clicked on the "Current: jira-calendar-plugin-1.8.zip" link to download and install the calendar plugin.

Under JIRA 3.10.1 it is listed as Calendar - 1.6

Do I have the right version??

Thanks,

Dave 

Suggestion (what do you think?): We do not use the due date as much. But I thought that the calender could/should show issues that have been resolved based on their resolution date (shutdown value, I think this field is not standard and was created to support the charting plug).

Anyway, it could show issues based on due date or the shutdown date once they have it.

Thanks very much for this plugin.  We find it useful.

A couple of comments on versioning...

I downloaded jira-calendar-plugin-1.8.zip from the link near the top of this page, though above that link this page said the version was 1.7, and once I installed it in Jira 3.11 it reports itself through Jira as 1.6.

Also would be nice if this page indicated whether 1.8 is known to work with Jira 3.11.  The top entry in the Version History table on this page indicates 1.8 works with Jira 3.10.x.

I don't have any reason to suspect it isn't working, but thought I'd mention the discrepancy.

Thanks again.

Just to clarify, it does work with 3.11

Hi,

This seems to be a great plug-in.
I have installed it yesterday, on Jira Entreprise 3.11.

Sounds like I have a small install or config problem: the hyperlink on the number of issues due on a give date does not work. I got a

HTTP Status 404 - /secure/(Wed%20Oct%2024%2016:02:18%20CEST%202007)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message /secure/(Wed%20Oct%2024%2016:02:18%20CEST%202007)

description The requested resource (/secure/(Wed%20Oct%2024%2016:02:18%20CEST%202007)) is not available.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apache Tomcat/5.5.20

The hyperlink looks like this when I roll my mouse over it :

http://<server>:<port>/browse/(Wed Oct 31 16:10:20 CET 2007)

Do you know what is wrong?

Thank you for your help

Hi I got an error while importing the file, error says import failed file may be corrupted.

I am using JIRA 3.11 evaluation and outlook 2003.

Can any one please help?? Thanks

fyi, the version number still shows up wrong in jira for 1.8:

Calendar

Description: Implements calendar services for JIRA.
*Vendor:*Atlassian Software Systems Pty Ltd
Plugin Version: 1.6
JIRA Version: 3.5

Hi,

 Decidedly nice and funky plugin, thank you.

 
Is it intentional that issues in the .ICS file show up in Windows Calendar as scheduled events, rather than to-do items? I'd probably find it more useful if they were to-dos...

I am fairly new to Jira, so please accept my apologies in advance should I have missed something very basic.

I want to schedule an export of a project's calendar to iCal on a regular basis. Doing the export by hand works wonderful.Now I want to do this overnight so that interested parties have their .ics file updated automatically.

What is the recommended way to implement such functionality in Jira ?

Hi

Is it possible to start calendar week with monday? I read http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-9048 but looks like their solutions are for other calendars.

I have copied the JAR files into WEB-INF/lib, but the new plugin didn't appear in the list of Portles, any idea about that ?

Version 1.8 of the plugin (jira-calendar-plugin-1.8.jar) seems to display version 1.6 in the plugin administration page.

Will any of the versions work with JIRA 3.9.2?

Hi,

Can someone let me know if there is a way to get an iCal link to Jira dates that I can link to (not import!) into my Google calendar.

Regards,
Damon.

Is there any way to set up the calendar to provide an iCal feed, rather than having to manually update the calendar? I'd like to stream the calendar to several employees on their iPhones, etc.

Also, is there a way to automatically load the JIRA calendar into a Confluence calendar (basically use the feed to load it into a Confluence calendar plugin)?

I desperately need 1.9 version - there is a zimbra bug fixed which is needed for our deployment

Can you please email it to me to kayrat@gmail.com?

I assume referencing the above table, that version 1.9 is not compatible with Enterprise Edition, Version: 3.12.3-#302.  First, can you please confirm this is the case?

If so, what are the chances that we can get version 1.9 to work with version 3.12.3?  It would be pretty ridiculous if I had to update my entire Jira instance just to fix a very annoying logging bug in 1.8.

Great that it is possible to choose another date than due date. I've chosen custom field named startdate. I would like to show startdate OR duedate if no startdate is applied to the issue.

I've installed v1.9, but only see one of my many date or date/time field custom fields.  I've pointed it at project and filter, but can never see options for my other custom fields.  Can anyone explain why?  I'm using JIRA 3.13.

Hey guys, added a request to export time information in the ICAL files if you're using a date-time field.

JCAL-90

Not quite sure how the duration should work on these types of entries, so any comments would be appreciated.

Salutations,

Just a question, how do you change the "ISSUES" text in the calendar portlet? We are planning to use a different word instead.

Thanks in advance.

1.10 doesn't work with jira 4.0.

I downloaded the calendar plugin from https://plugins.atlassian.com/server/1.0/download/pluginVersion/13323; saved it at C:\Program Files\Atlassian\JIRA 4.0\atlassian-jira\WEB-INF\lib\

JIRA Calendar Plugin

Description: Implements calendar services for JIRA.
Vendor:[Atlassian Pty Ltd

The latest version of the plug-in for JIRA 4.0 did not work on IE7 for me.  Specifically, the edit screen where you specify which project/filter you want to show does not come up in IE7 (and all I can see is the "loading" bar).  It reports there's a javascript error in line 4 char 5376 "'type' is null or not an object".

I had to swtich to Firefox, setup the calendar, and then switch back to IE7.  Things work okay after that.

I just installed 1.10 on the newest install of Jira 4 and I cannot seem to get all of the issues on all projects to show up on the calendar. Instead I have to switch each calendar to see a calendar representation of the due dates. Please help!

I just downloaded and installed version 1.12 (latest at the moment) and installed it into plugins/installed-plugins but I do not see any calendars? I am running JIRA v4.0#466. 

I do not see it in my plugins list either? Do I need to do something to enable it?

Resolved. Helps if you use the appropriate HOME directory.
