h2. Installing a plugin

11 117 Go MAEDA
1. Copy your plugin directory into @#{RAILS_ROOT}/plugins@. If you are downloading the plugin directly from GitHub, you can do so by changing into your plugin directory and issuing a command like @git clone git://github.com/user_name/name_of_the_plugin.git@.

2. If the plugin requires a migration, run the following command in @#{RAILS_ROOT}@ to upgrade your database (make a db backup before).

h2. Migrating Plugins
37 92 Terence Mill
38 94 Terence Mill
There are changes in Plugins API or new Rails requirements which need to be considered if you want to use plugin from prior version of redmine.
39
In any case it's proposed to update and migrate redmine core system first without plugins and then if stable try to drop in one by one, to know where problems come from if any.

Consideration towards plugins which *overwrite views* completely because of bad coding style or there is no "hook" available shall be made in any case. Maybe you can collect and write down plugin references here which are of this type.

* routes.rb which defines url to controller (parameter, action) mapping must be created in <plugin>/config/routes.rb
50
* @ARCondition@ is gone with no replacement
51
* @TabularFormBuilder@ is now @Redmine::Views::LabelledFormBuilder@
52
* defining your own context menus now requires @helper :context_menus@ in the respective controller
53
* of course, @returning@ is deprecated in favor of @tap@
54
* if you're doing anything with repos check it twice, because there can be multiple repos now per project

* @Project#visible_by@ is deprecated and replaced by @Project#visible_condition@
