43 24 Jean-Philippe Lang
h3. Cache formatted text (1.0)
44
45
Text formatting tranforms raw text to HTML and runs each time a formatted text is sent to the browser (eg. issue description, wiki page...). This process can be slow on large texts.
46
47
This setting lets you enable caching of formatted text. Cached text is stored in a cache store that can be configured with @config.action_controller.cache_store@. By default, this cache store is "MemoryStore":http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Cache/MemoryStore.html.
48
49
If you need to enable caching, it's highly recommended that you configure the cache to use another cache store like MemCacheStore or FileStore if memory is a concern.
50
51
You can read more about cache stores in the Rails guides:

Example:
247 14 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production</pre>

You can also call this task from your repository in a post-commit or post-receive hook, so that changesets are fetched after each commit.

h3. Referencing issues in commit messages
274 4 Jean-Philippe Lang
275 9 Jean-Philippe Lang
When fetched from the repositories, commit messages are scanned for referenced or fixed issue IDs.
276
These options lets you define keywords that can be used in commit message to reference or fix issues automatically, and the status to apply to fixed issues.
277 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
278 9 Jean-Philippe Lang
Default keywords are:
279
280
* for referencing issues: refs, references, IssueID
281
* for fixing issues: fixes, closes
282
283
There's no default status defined for fixed issue. You'll have to specify it if you want to enable auto closure of issues.
284 27 Larry Cai
If you want to reference issues without using keywords, enter a single star: * in the *Referencing keywords* (Administration/Repository) setting. In this case, any issue ID found in the message will be linked to the changeset.
285 9 Jean-Philippe Lang
286
Example of a working commit message using default keywords:
287
288
  This commit refs #1, #2 and fixes #3
289
290
This message would reference issues 1 and 2 and automatically fix issue 3.
291
After a keyword issue IDs can be separated with a space, a comma or &.
