See if #6513 solves this for you, I think it's the same issue.

I followed the suggested solution in #6513. However, an error message is thrown whenever the modified 'link_to_if_authorized' method is invoked:

Mmh, do you serve redmine on a sub-URI? If yes, have you set the configuration accordingly?

Oh, and what server, what rack/rails/ruby versions, and so on ;-)

I am running redmine on a RedHat EL5 Server with the following packages being installed:

• Ruby 1.8.7
• Rails 2.3.5
• Rack 1.0.1
• Passenger 2.2.15
• Apache 2.2.3
• MySQL 5.0.77

Redmine is indeed being served on a sub-URI. I configured passenger accordingly (following the guide on http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide.html#deploying_rails_to_sub_uri which is also referenced from the redmine wiki). In fact, there are two redmine installations being served on two different sub-URIs.

For testing purposes, I additionally added a 'Redmine::Utils::relative_url_root = "/xyz"' to my config/environment.rb. But I am still running into the above mentioned error message.

Adding news (in exactly this environment) was possible 6 months ago... Of course there have been notable changes in trunk since then.

Any ideas are welcome.
Cheers,
Claus

Just to make sure: you did restart your redmine each time after applying the patch and adding config and all?

yep, I did a full restart of apache

Felix, in the meantime I switched back to branches/stable-1.0. Without changing anything else, the "Add News" button is available again.

The same is true for the "Add new file" button (see issue #6627). "Move" and "Copy" buttons (see issue #6513) are only available after applying the patch for #6513. So this patch works fine for branches/stable-1.0 but not for trunk.

Do you know whether I will run into troubles because the database layout for trunk and branches/stable-1.0 is different? Can a 'RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate' be used to downgrade? I am not familiar with ruby and rails, so any feedback is appreciated.

Claus

Odd, as IIRC I supplied it for trunk…

There's a "down" migration (look it up from rake -D), though you'd need to apply it before downgrading the code (the down migrations are defined alongside the "up" migrations). The only migration I know that might cause trouble (it has no down) is the one changing stuff in the email notification options.

I'm having this same issue and it occurs on files as well. How can I go about downgrading so that I can have these features?

Nevermind. I just used svn switch http://redmine.rubyforge.org/svn/tags/1.0.2/ and it worked fine.
