h3. Text formatting

41
Formatting method applied to the "description" fields of the issues, news, documents...
42
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:
52
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/caching_with_rails.html#cache-stores

253
254
_Default: Yes_
255 14 Jean-Philippe Lang
256 3 Jean-Philippe Lang
You can disable this option and automate the call to Repository#fetch_changesets using cron to regularly retrieve the revisions for all of the repositories in the background.
257 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
Example:
258 14 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production</pre>
259
260 33 Alexander Menk
For Redmine 2.x:
261
262
<pre>ruby script/rails runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production</pre>
263
264 14 Jean-Philippe Lang
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.
265
Here is a tutorial for doing so with git: http://finalcog.com/remine-git-post-receive
266 3 Jean-Philippe Lang
267 18 Mischa The Evil
h3. Enable WS for repository management
268
269 21 Nick Fischer

270 18 Mischa The Evil
271 8 Jean-Philippe Lang
h3. Repositories encodings
272 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
273 21 Nick Fischer
This option lets you specify preferred encodings for repository files (multiple values allowed, comma separated). These encodings are used to convert files content and diff to UTF-8 so that they're properly displayed in the browser.
274 8 Jean-Philippe Lang
When entering multiple encodings, the first valid encoding regarding the file content is used.
275
276
For French users, this option can be for example set to:
277 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
278 8 Jean-Philippe Lang
  UTF-8, ISO 8859-15, CP1252
279 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
280
For Japanese users:
281
282 8 Jean-Philippe Lang
  ISO-2022-JP, EUC-JP, UTF-8, SHIF_JIS, WINDOWS-31J
283 18 Mischa The Evil
284
h3. Maximum number of revisions displayed on file log
285
286 23 Jean-Philippe Lang
It provides a way to limit the amount of revisions which are retrieved from the SCM for a certain, browsed path.
287 4 Jean-Philippe Lang
288 12 Jean-Philippe Lang
h3. Referencing issues in commit messages
289 4 Jean-Philippe Lang
290 9 Jean-Philippe Lang
When fetched from the repositories, commit messages are scanned for referenced or fixed issue IDs.
291
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.
292 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
293 9 Jean-Philippe Lang
Default keywords are:
294
295
* for referencing issues: refs, references, IssueID
296
* for fixing issues: fixes, closes
297
298
There's no default status defined for fixed issue. You'll have to specify it if you want to enable auto closure of issues.
299 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.
300 9 Jean-Philippe Lang
301
Example of a working commit message using default keywords:
302
303
  This commit refs #1, #2 and fixes #3
304
305
This message would reference issues 1 and 2 and automatically fix issue 3.
306
After a keyword issue IDs can be separated with a space, a comma or &.
307 30 Jean-Baptiste Barth
308
h3. Enable time logging
309
310
Allows time logging directly from commit messages. This only makes sense if you activated the "Time tracking" module in said project. In this case, you can add special words in your commit message to indicate the time you spent on an issue.
311
312
The basic syntax for doing that is : @@<time>@, where time consists in a number of hours or minutes.
313
314
Here's a list of many valid commit messages that would work if you want to say you spent N hours on issue 1234: <pre>
315
Implement feature #1234 @2
316
317
Implement feature #1234 @2h
318
319

335
Implement feature #1234 @3,25
336
337
Implement feature #1234 @3,25h
338
</pre>
339
340
h3. Activity for logged time
341
342
This is the type of activity that should be used when detecting there's a log time in a commit message (see above).
