h3. Cache formatted text (1.0)
52
53 50 Go MAEDA

55 43 Ben Blanco
This setting lets you enable caching of formatted text.
56 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
57 63 Go MAEDA
The storage to be used to store cached data depends on the configuration of a cache store. The default cache store is "FileStore":http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Cache/FileStore.html. It stores cached data as files in @tmp/cache@ directory.
58 43 Ben Blanco
59 64 Go MAEDA
You can configure to change the cache store to other one such as "MemoryStore":http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Cache/MemoryStore.html and "MemCacheStore":http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Cache/MemCacheStore.html by adding a setting like @config.cache_store = :memory_store@ to your  @config/environments/production.rb@, for example:
60 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
61
62 72 Toshi MARUYAMA
<pre><code class="ruby">
63 63 Go MAEDA
Rails.application.configure do
64
  # Settings specified here will take precedence over those in config/application.rb
65 43 Ben Blanco

There's no default status defined for fixed issue. You'll have to specify it if you want to enable auto closure of issues.

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.

Example of a working commit message using default keywords:
481
482
  This commit refs #1, #2 and fixes #3
483
484
This message would reference issues 1 and 2 and automatically fix issue 3.
485
After a keyword issue IDs can be separated with a space, a comma or &.

The keywords are caseinsensitive and at least one blankspace or colon is needed between the keyword and the first hash to produce 
488
a match. More examples that will produce the same result as the example above:<pre>
489
This commit refs:#1, #2 and fixes #3
490
This commit Refs  #1, #2 and fixes #3
491
This commit REFS: #1, #2 and fixes #3
492
</pre>

h3. Enable time logging
495
496
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.
497
498
The basic syntax for doing that is : @@<time>@, where time consists in a number of hours or minutes.

h3. Activity for logged time
527
528
This is the type of activity that should be used when detecting there's a log time in a commit message (see above).
