Fresh installation: admin/plugins "No data to display"

Added by Manuel Rego almost 15 years ago

Hello,

I've just installed Redmine (revision 2824) and it's working.

When I access as admin to http://localhost:3000/admin/plugins I get the next message:

No data to display

I've seen that there're some plugins inside vendor/plugins/ folder.

Moreover, I've run: rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV="production

Even if I try to install on plugin, for example open_id_authentication, it said that is already installed.

$ ruby script/plugin install open_id_authentication
already installed: open_id_authentication (http://dev.rubyonrails.com/svn/rails/plugins/open_id_authentication/).  pass --force to reinstall

Am I missing something?

Any clue about why plugins aren't showed in that page?

Thank you very much,
Rego

Hi,

after install ruby-openid gem, I can activate OpenID from Settings -> Authentication.

So maybe the default plugins don't appear at Administration -> Plugins.
Is it true?

Thanks,
Rego

Yes, sort of. Only Redmine plugins which are registered in Redmine (using Redmine::Plugin.register) are displayed in the list at Administration -> Plugins.
The default plugins (including open_id_authentication in current Redmine trunk) in ../vendor/plugins are all not registered using Redmine::Plugin.register. They don't need to be either.

Regarding the openID thing: as documented at RedmineSettings the feature cannot be used (nor configured) while it's dependency (having an installed copy of the ruby-openid gem [not the open_id_authentication plugin]) isn't met.

HTH,

Mischa.

To follow up with Mischa's comment, there are two types of plugins for Redmine:

  • Redmine plugins - enhance Redmine in specific ways and show up under the Administration panel.
  • Ruby on Rails plugins - these are generic libraries Redmine uses to provide it's features.

Hope this helps clear a few things up.
