Set up projects in batch

Added by Bert Van Vreckem about 13 years ago

I want to use Redmine to host student programming projects at the college where I teach. We're talking about hundreds of students in dozens of projects that have to be set up at the beginning of a semester. I'm not going to do that manually... Is it possible to do that in batch, e.g. starting with a CSV file (or something similar) with user/project information?

Cheers,

bert

You could either use the REST API, but I'm not sure whether it allows all you need yet, or use a custom "redmine script" to do that.

What I call a "redmine script" is a script written to work against #!/path/to/your/redmine/script/runner. Such a script is a ruby script from which you have complete access to all redmine objects, such as projects and so on. If you have someone knowledgeable with rails around, it shouldn't be too big a problem.

Ich könnte da evtl. behilflich sein, ist im Forum aber immer etwas mühsam, schreibt mich mal an die hier hinterlegte Adresse an, damit wir da eventuell telefon/skypen können.

I haven't looked into it further. I'm don't know Ruby/Rails. I tried to get some students to work on it, but no luck there. ;)

I would also be interested in a more detailed description of how to get a redmine script going for project creation...
