Boards / Forum topic history + forum message extra filed

Added by Krzysztof Dryja over 10 years ago

Hi,

I'm using Redmine 2.1.4. I would really like to have:

1. Full forum topic history.

2. Extra field in forum topic for link to related issue or other integration with issues.

Any ideas how to do this? I'm not Ruby expert but want to try doing it.

Can you explain what you mean?

2. Extra field in forum topic for link to related issue or other integration with issues.

All information belonging to a certain issue can be added to the issue itself using (private) comments.

I.e. date & time & who modified topic or title.

My clients have access to forum but not to issues. I have some data in issues and related topics in forum. I would like easily switch between forum and related issue. For example client add new reply in forum, I need to check something in related issue so I just click on the link somewhere in topic description. The only thing is that I do not want client to see the issue link.

Solution would be an extra text field?

This is not implemented, AFAIK. It would be look like a custom field of issue type, belonging to forum object, with permission support about its visibility.

Krzysztof:

I assume that your client has a different role.
  1. Then the simpliest solution would be Private Comments as Jan indicated.
  2. Next solution would be to use issues in the same project, but assigned to Client.
  3. Other solution would be to use issues in a seperate client project.

Take a look at Roles and Workflows.

Overall, wahtbI'm suggestimg is that issues is the way to go, not forums, for what you want.

Thank you. That makes sense however using Forums is simpler than Issues for my clients. I will think about it.

1. Full forum topic history.

Do you guys know if these days this is in some todo list or is there any plugin for this?
