Setup sync in Thunderbird

With mega_calendar, you can set up a sync which adds all the calendar entries to your Thunderbird calendar.

Keep in mind:
This sync is only one way, this means Redmine -> Thunderbird and not otherwise.
You need an API-key for your account and the API enabled, to get this sync working.
You need at least version 2.0.0 of mega_calendar to get this working.

• To set up the calendar open your Thunderbird and then the calendar within thunderbird.
• Click on "New Calendar..."
• "On the Network"
• "Next"
• Location: <Your Redmine URL>/calendar/export?key=<YOUR API KEY>
  • you can filter for a specific assignee if you add &assigned_to=<user or group id>.
  • you can filter for a specific time range if you add &time_start=<date>&time_end=<date>. Date format must be YYYY-MM-DD.
  • if you don't add a time range, then the time range will be today - (today + 2.years)
• Tick on "This location doesn't require credentials"
• "Find Calendars"
• Now there should be an "export" calendar found, click on "Subscribe" and you are done.

It should be not only work with thunderbird. The upper tutorial sets up a ical sync. So maybe you could use it in other applications, too.
