Create tool that gets data from excel and insert in ReMine

Added by Jorge Luiz Rodrigues Teixeira over 9 years ago

Hi guys

I started using Redmine for 6 months and I am on a challenge and would like to know where you can get.
I want to create a tool that captures data from the excel and insert in Redmine automatically.
Could anyone help me telling me what language should I use for this challenge or how can I get more information on how Redmine works internally?

kind regards

Where do you want to insert the data from Excel? Do you want to create issues, wiki pages or news?
There's the REST-API...

You can use any language thanks to REST API - like Jan said.

Since Redmine is written in Ruby language it would be good idea to use it. Thus, you will be able to write a Plugin or external script that will do your work (which will be a lot faster than using REST API (due to HTTP overhead)).

Also, Redmine use Ruby on Rails framework. You should learn it to fully comprehend Redmine internals.
