General FAQ

How do I set up Team Calendars?

See Licensing and Installing Team Calendars.

What version of Confluence do I need to run Team Calendars?

Team Calendars is compatible with Confluence 3.5.x and later versions.

Why are you charging for this plugin?

There are a few reasons:

We feel we can solve a lot of specific problems with the combination of events, people, projects (JIRA) and content. Atlassian sees this plugin working alongside your personal meeting or events calendar.
Not every customer needs a team calendaring solution. Hence, by not bundling Team Calendars with Confluence, it doesn't increase the cost of Confluence for those customers who aren't going to use it.
The old plugin was not maintained or supported. In contrast, Team Calendars is maintained and supported moving forward.

What's happening with the old Confluence calendar plugin?

The old calendar plugin was never officially supported and as such carries no support from Atlassian. It is currently available as an open-sourced component, available on plugins.atlassian.com for use with legacy versions of Confluence (3.4 and earlier). The old calendar plugin does not work with Confluence 3.5.x or later versions. There are currently no plans to continue development on the old calendar plugin. If you are currently using the old plugin, there is a manual migration path to Team Calendars available by importing your iCal files.

Where can I give you feedback?

To give the Team Calendars team feedback, raise an issue in the TEAMCAL project on studio.plugins.atlassian.com.

Can I integrate Team Calendars with our company's Google Apps Calendar?

Yes you can. Learn more about this here:

Why is my Calendar only working in read only mode?

This usually indicates that something is wrong with your license. Check that it is properly installed by checking 'Confluence Admin' > 'Team Calendars License'. Also, log into https://my.atlassian.com and check the status of your license.

When does your promotional pricing end?

The promotional pricing will end on the August 31st, 2011

Is Team Calendars available for Confluence Clustered?

Yes. Note that a separate Team Calendars license is required for each Clustered Node of Confluence. Learn more about Clustered Node licensing

Is Team Calendars available for Confluence / JIRA hosted and Studio?

We hope to make Team Calendars available for our hosted products soon. You can track this issue and provide more feedback here: TEAMCAL-93.

Features FAQ

Can I map out custom issue date fields from JIRA?

As of Team Calendars 1.0, you can only map out issue due dates. We are tracking the feature request to map out any custom date field in JIRA here: TEAMCAL-126

Does Team Calendars work on my iPhone?

Although this is not officially supported, it does work on the iPhone. All you have to do is select "subscribe" from a specific calendar menu and login using your Confluence details. iOS should automatically attempt to add the calendar to your iPhone.

Can I add more than one person to an event for my people calendar?

At the moment you cannot do this, we would love to hear your feedback on how this will be helpful for you here: TEAMCAL-86

Is Team Calendars available in my local language?

As of Team Calendars 1.1, the plugin is available in English and the bundled Confluence languages (French and German). We hope have this plugin also available on translations.atlassian.com for other language support. You can stay updated on this issue and provide feedback on this issue.

Can I change the date/time format (E.g. mm/dd or dd/mm)

The date format is dependent on the users language settings and automatically adjusts accordingly - this is a Confluence user and global setting. An admin can set the site default language (see Choosing a Default Language) and a user can also set their preference (see Edit Your User Settings).

Can I change the starting day of the week?

The Team Calendars follows per user language preferences to decide which day is at the start of the week. For example, if you want to make the start of the week to Sunday (US Calendar), you would need to install the US Language pack and edit your Confluence user preferences to choose US English. To do this, click User name > Settings > Edit > Language and then choose US English.
The Confluence default is to Automatically detect browser settings.

Can I subscribe to Google Public Calendar from Team Calendars?

Currently, it is not possible to subscribe to Google Public Calendar from Team Calendars. This is a known issue with Google Calendar. It appears that Google Calendar Public .ics file does not contain the data/event that can be read by Team Calendars to display events. Only Google Private Calendar can be subscribed from Team Calendars for now.
