Get CMS in your Redmine and build web pages.¶

This plugin adds CMS functionality to Redmine and allows you to build websites using templates, menus, and snippets written in the HTML and Liquid language. To see what you can achieve, see our website: RedmineUP and RedmineUP Blog. It has been built using only Redmine and CMS plugin.

Read more about the possibilities in our blog post about CMS plugin features.

Requires Redmine CRM plugin (at least Light version) -> http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_contacts

Liquid is a template engine which crafted for very specific requirements:

• It has to have simple markup and beautiful results. Template engines which don't produce good looking results are no fun to use.
• It needs to be non-evaling and secure. Liquid templates are made so that users can edit them. You don't want your server running code that your users wrote.
• It has to be stateless. The compile and render steps have to be separate so that the expensive parsing and compiling can be done once; later on, you can just render it by passing in a hash with local variables and objects.
• It needs to be able to style emails as well as HTML.
