Redmine

I wanted to use this immediately, so I wrapped it in a redmine plugin. There was a small trick needed, so here's the relevant code to be put, for example, in redmine_wt/lib/wt.rb and called from redmine_wt/init.rb using require_dependency.

 1# Dependency loading hell. http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/166578#new
 2require 'dispatcher'
 3Dispatcher.to_prepare do
 4  Redmine::WikiFormatting::Macros.class_eval do
 5
 6    # wiki template macro
 7    desc "Replace token inside a template. Example:\n\n !{{template(WikiTemplatePage,token=foo,token2=bar)}}." 
 8    macro :template do |obj, args|
 9      page = Wiki.find_page(args.shift.to_s, :project => @project)
10      raise 'Page not found' if page.nil? || !User.current.allowed_to?(:view_wiki_pages, page.wiki.project)
11
12      @included_wiki_pages ||= []
13      raise 'Circular inclusion detected' if @included_wiki_pages.include?(page.title)
14      @included_wiki_pages << page.title
15      out = textilizable(page.content, :text, :attachments => page.attachments)
16      @included_wiki_pages.pop
17
18      args.collect do |v|
19        v[/(\w+)\W*\=\W*(.+)$/]
20        key = $1
21        value = $2.strip.gsub("<br />", "")
22        out = out.gsub(key, value)
23      end
24      out
25    end
26  end
27end

I've not published this plugin, since it's so simple, but thought I should at least comment on this issue. Basically the above code is 90% Vianney's wiki_template.txt file, with a small wrapper based on code I saw in the init.rb of the task-board plugin by Dan Hodos.

Thanks for the plugin, I didn't know that we can add new macro with plugin (it's my first redmine and ruby hack), it's nice.

Hi Craig,

Could you explain a bit more how install your little plugin ? In my redmine init.rb is only in plugins.

So, which should be the content of init.rb.

How could I add this plugin to plugins directory ?

vendor/plugins/redmine_wikitemplate/{init.rb, wt.rb}, any file more ?

Thank you !

This seems quite useful, any chance we could get something like this integrated? Perhaps "custom parameterizable macros"?

Wiki templates are a huge deal, we should have some official support for them.
