CalDAV/iCAL Support for Roundcube Calendar

This repository was forked from roundcubemail-plugins-kolab and contains a modified version of the Roundcube calendar plugin that enables client support for CalDAV and iCAL calendar resources. We added a feature branch feature_caldav with the modified calendar plugin and we try to frequently merge the latest release tags from upstream. You can find further information and a short introduction to this plugin on our website.

Requirements

• Roundcube 1.0-RC or higher
• Optional: Kolab 3.1 or higher

Installation

• Clone this repo and checkout the appropriate tag from the feature_caldav branch or the head of the feature_caldav branch for the latest version:

  $ cd /path/to/your/roundcube/
  $ git clone https://gitlab.awesome-it.de/kolab/roundcube-plugins.git plugins-caldav
  $ cd plugins-caldav 
  $ git checkout feature_caldav

• Assuming that there is already a compatible version of the Kolab Roundcubemail Plugins installed (e.g. if you checkout roundcubemail-plugins-kolab-caldav-3.1.11-r1, roundcubemail-plugins-kolab-3.1.11 or similar should be installed), you must only replace the modified calendar plugin as follows:

  $ cd /path/to/your/roundcube/    
  $ mv plugins/calendar plugins/calendar.orig
  $ ln -s plugins-caldav/plugins/calendar plugins/calendar

  If you use Roundcubemail without Kolab, you should put all plugins from the feature_caldav branch into your plugins folder. Please note that this is only rarely tested and we won't offer any support for this right now.

• Copy plugins/calendar.orig/config.inc.php to the new plugin folder and modify accordingly:

  $ cp plugins/calendar.orig/config.inc.php plugins/calendar/config.inc.php
  $ vi plugins/calendar/config.inc.php

  If you replace existing Kolab Roundcubemail Plugins as described above, make sure to copy the configuration files of those plugins to the new plugin folders!

• The calendar setting calendar_driver now accepts an array with calendar drivers you want to enable:

  $config['calendar_driver'] = array("kolab", "caldav", "ical");

  Note that the very first array value is used a default driver e.g. for creating events via email if no calendar was chosen. Further you can drop the Kolab dependency of the calendar by remocing the kolab driver.

• It is always a good idea to set a new crypt key to be used for encryption of you CalDAV passwords:

  $config['calendar_crypt_key'] = 'some_random_characters`;

• Update Roundcube's MySQL database:

  $ mysql -h <db-host> -u <db-user> -p <db-name> < /path/to/your/roundcube/plugins-caldav/plugins/calendar/drivers/database/SQL/mysql.initial.sql
  
  # For CalDAV support
  $ mysql -h <db-host> -u <db-user> -p <db-name> < /path/to/your/roundcube/plugins-caldav/plugins/calendar/drivers/caldav/SQL/mysql.initial.sql
  
  # For iCAL support
  $ mysql -h <db-host> -u <db-user> -p <db-name> < /path/to/your/roundcube/plugins-caldav/plugins/calendar/drivers/ical/SQL/mysql.initial.sql

• Make sure that the calendar plugin is enabled the Roundcube config e.g. /path/to/your/roundcube/config/config.inc.php:

  $config['plugins'] = array(
      // ...
      'calendar',
      // ...
  );

• You should now be able to select one of your configured drivers when creating a new calendar.

Troubleshooting

Enabling debug mode in config.inc.php will output additional debug information to /path/to/your/roundcube/logs/console:

$config['calendar_caldav_debug'] = true;
$config['calendar_ical_debug'] = true;
