RTx::Calendar(3pm)

💖 RTx::Calendar — the manual, but make it make sense 💖

Okay bestie, gather round, because this is RTx::Calendar from the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the universe, and it's about to become your new fave. ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

RTx::Calendar — a whole calendar for your RT due dates. It's giving "never miss a deadline again." 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this RT extension? It serves up a full-on calendar view of your tickets and your reminders, so you can literally see when your next due ticket is looming. No more surprise deadlines, no more chaos, we love to see it. 🎀

You'll find it hanging out in the menu at Search->Calendar.

And there's a portlet you can park right on your home page, too — peep Prefs/MyRT.html for that one. 🫶

---

✨ INSTALLATION ✨

Run these, in order, like the main character you are:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

• The make install step may need root permissions, so if it's acting up, that's why. 🔥

Then edit your /opt/rt4/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm 💜

If you're on RT 4.2 or greater, add this line:

Plugin('RTx::Calendar');

For RT 4.0, add this line instead:

Set(@Plugins, qw(RTx::Calendar));

…or just add RTx::Calendar to your existing @Plugins line. Whatever's easiest, honestly. 🌈

Clear your mason cache — say bye to the old vibes:

rm -rf /opt/rt4/var/mason_data/obj

Restart your webserver. Yes, actually restart it. It's not a suggestion, it's a lifestyle. 💀

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

⭐ Base configuration

To use the MyCalendar portlet, you gotta add MyCalendar to $HomepageComponents in etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm. Like this:

Set($HomepageComponents, [qw(QuickCreate Quicksearch MyCalendar
   MyAdminQueues MySupportQueues MyReminders RefreshHomepage)]);

⭐ Display configuration

Wanna see the owner in each day box? Add this line to your etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm and boom, owner info everywhere:

Set($CalendarDisplayOwner, 1);

And you can change which fields show up in the popup display when you mouse over a date, also in etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm:

Set(@CalendarPopupFields, ('Status', 'OwnerObj->Name', 'DueObj->ISO'));

Customize away, bestie. It's your calendar era. 🦋

💜 USAGE 💜

There's a lil help section waiting for you at /Prefs/Calendar.html if you get lost. It's short, it's sweet, it's there for you. 🍓
