<p>One of my users has reported that could not create issues using Redmine Java API: <br /> org.redmine.ta.RedmineException: Priority can't be blank<br /> at org.redmine.ta.RedmineManager.sendRequest(RedmineManager.java:270)<br /> at org.redmine.ta.RedmineManager.createIssue(RedmineManager.java:167)<br /> at org.redmine.ta.Simple.tryCreateIssue(Simple.java:90)<br /> at org.redmine.ta.Simple.main(Simple.java:48)</p>
<p>I was trying to reproduce the problem on several different Redmine installs with Postgresql, MySQL, different Redmine versions, ...</p>
<p>It turned out the user didn't have a "default Issue priority" set in his Redmine administration panel.</p>
<p>A <strong>good</strong> solution here is for REST API to provide a list of existing priorities with IDs so that remote clients can use them. This is requested in <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Defect: Make possible to obtain issue_priorities and issue_statuses via RESTful WS (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/8596">#8596</a>.</p>
<p>A <strong>minor easy fix</strong> would be to improve the error message: change it from</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Priority can't be blank</p>
</blockquote>
<p>to</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Priority can't be blank. No default priority is set in the Redmine server settings. please use menu "Administration -> Enumerations -> Issue Priorities" to set the default priority.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Users will really appreciate nice error messages!</p>

<p>We regularly use the $Rev:: $ keyword substitution in SVN, such that documents are identified with their current SVN revision when printed or supplied to customers. This substitution is performed by the SVN client on opening the file.</p>
<p>The repository browser in Redmine does not handle keyword substitution.</p> Redmine - Defect #8837 (New): RSS feed reports anonymus and the correct (named) user is in the ch...https://www.redmine.org/issues/88372011-07-18T15:39:24ZJan Völker
<p>I had a look in my mailbox and found</p>
<p>Issue <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Add mail notification for Adding News (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/411">#411</a> has been updated by Anonymous. <br />• Status changed from Neu (New) to Gelöst (Resolved)<br />• % Done changed from 0 to 100<br />Applied in changeset <a class="changeset" title="r17045@gaspard (orig r916): nbc | 2007-11-18 19:51:48 +0100 * add Redmine.pm to authenticate wi..." href="https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/svn/revisions/1788">r1788</a>.</p>
<p>and wondered, why it said Anonymus - because this is not allowed on the Repository. When looking at the corresponding changeset in Redmine the correct information is displayed:</p>
<p>Revision 1788<br />Von jvoelker vor 1 Minute hinzugefügt [added 1 min ago]</p>
<p>[my text], closes <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Add mail notification for Adding News (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/411">#411</a></p>
<p>So the rss-Entry should have display jvoelker instead of Anonymus!</p>
<p>Installation data:</p>
<p>MySQL 5.1.48-community<br />ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i386-mingw32]<br />Rails 2.3.11<br />svn, Version 1.6.6 (r40053)</p>
<p>There was no error in the log and the changesets are processed automatically. The only active plugin is</p>
<p>Redcase Test cases management plugin for Redmine QA Project 1.0 alpha 0.144</p>
<p>which doesn't interfere here - I guess.</p> Redmine - Defect #8657 (New): CSV export fails when issue has too much texthttps://www.redmine.org/issues/86572011-06-21T10:32:21ZChris Kilner
<p>Large issues created either by filling the maximum description length a few times, or from REST issue insertion can break the csv output.</p>
<p>The symptom is that the text of the description overflows into the first column, breaking the one row per issue assumption of csv.</p>
<p>Manually editing the issues to move the excess text into attachment works around the problem.</p>
<p>[ Many thanks for an otherwise great product ]</p> Redmine - Feature #8598 (New): links to email for any userhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/85982011-06-13T19:57:21ZWim De Pril
<p>It would be helpful is any user that is referenced could have some link associated with the name to mail them through the redmine mail engine.</p>
<p>e.g. - if the assignee is set to user1. It could have a little envelope icon next to the name. When the icon is clicked it would open up a text editor that allows the user to enter subject and message body. When you click submit, the email is sent to the user, user1 and is automatically tagged to the associated issue.</p>
<p>Reason: When users have to ask questions about issues they have to transfer out of redmine into their mail client and never tag the issue. So all the communication related to the redmine issue is lost in individual mailboxes as opposed to being attached to the issue.</p>
<p>BTW: great product you guys have created!!!</p> Redmine - Feature #8595 (New): Standards Adoption / Contributionhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/85952011-06-12T06:37:12ZTJ Baker
<p>Forgive me if I'm overstepping my boundaries here, as I am still new to Redmine and the project's goals etc. <br />Our company has recently adopted Redmine as our internal project / bug tracking solution, and we love it. We've also adopted Zendesk as our public facing customer service solution. Zendesk along with other partners has recently launched a new initiative to develop open standards across many solutions in order to provide better customer service, and I am curious if Redmine would be a candidate for joining the initiative, and adopting / integrating solutions provided by the organization.</p>
<p>More can be read here: <a class="external" href="http://networkedhelpdesk.org/">http://networkedhelpdesk.org/</a></p>
<p>A Ruby Gem has been released as well: <a class="external" href="https://github.com/zendesk/ticket_sharing">https://github.com/zendesk/ticket_sharing</a></p>
<p>Admittedly my efforts in posting this ticket stem from a desire to see Zendesk integrated with Redmine, and I do not personally posses programming skills to make this happen, however, I am more than willing to lend my years of experience providing customer support, managing a dedicated team of support providers, and limited hacking skills to this endeavor :)</p> Redmine - Feature #8567 (New): Move to capistrano for automation of installation/upgradehttps://www.redmine.org/issues/85672011-06-09T00:46:52ZFabio Napoleoni
<p>What do you think about that? These are my point of view:</p>
<ul>
<li>Manual procedures are very prone to errors</li>
<li>Especially for upgrade it's a little annoying to move all those files around the filesystem (files, plugins, themes and so on)</li>
<li>Upgrades happens once in a month and every time I need to read the walktrough on the site</li>
</ul>
<p>Wouldn't be nicer if the install procedure would be as simple as <code>cap redmine:install</code> (or <code>cap redmine:upgrade</code> for the upgrade)?</p>
<p>I made a <a href="http://www.codewithstyle.eu/2011/06/09/installing-redmine-using-capistrano/" class="external">proof of concept</a> of this and I used that to upgrade my installation from 1.1.2 to 1.2.0 and everything has worked. I tried to make things as generic as possible and I think this could be easily integrated directly in Redmine as an alternate method for installation/upgrade.</p>
<p>Otherwise if you're not interested it can be developed as standalone gem/project, but I think that if this is integrated directly in Redmine it could be more robust with supervision of developers.</p>
<p>Just my two cents.</p> Redmine - Patch #8109 (New): Support for global permissions in acts_as_attachablehttps://www.redmine.org/issues/81092011-04-08T21:09:39ZAndriy Lesyuk

<p>On the bufferbloat.net project there will be developers spread across a minimum of three continents - Europe, the USA, and Australia. The latencies for accessing a site based only in the USA are already quite high.</p>
<p>I am curious what it would take to make redmine more of a "read-mostly" system, where the primary database connection could be served locally (updates streamed from the main postgres database), and edit operations only served from the main site?</p> Redmine - Feature #7558 (New): Built-in critical data backuphttps://www.redmine.org/issues/75582011-02-06T01:49:36ZFrank DeBoer
<p>Requesting a built-in data backup functionality that can be preferably configured with a cron like syntax. The goal would be to create an archive that later can be imported so for that per instructions we need a copy of the data as well as copy of files. Personally I would add a flag for whether to include local files on disk as those are typically snapshot already. Similarly we need a capability for an admin to import the data from a previous snapshot.</p> Redmine - Feature #7441 (New): Need of charts bugs reporthttps://www.redmine.org/issues/74412011-01-25T13:48:41ZHarris Ratsimba

<p>I need a quicker access for public pages, requested from anonymous users.</p>
<p>I can not use a caching reverse proxy because the web proxy does not know when a page is requested from a registered user, or when the page is requested from an anonymous user.</p>
<p>In this patch the Ruby/Redmine application controller returns a page from the cache with ~ 10x - 20x speedup respecting normal pages. The caching is applied only if the user is anonymous (not logged) and only if the page does not contains forms with an authenticity token.</p>
<p>The cached page is different according the locale of user, so different pages for different locales are returned correctly.</p>
<p>The Redmine administrator can configure the cache refresh rate using the main Settings form.</p>
<p>The caching is performed using the caching method specified in the config/additional_environment.rb file. I added something like</p>
<pre>
config.action_controller.perform_caching = true
config.action_controller.cache_store = :file_store, File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), '../tmp/cache')
</pre>
<p>I tested the patch on version 1.0.5, but it is not yet on a server in production.</p>
<p>The patch can be applied to <a class="changeset" title="Fixes wrong Polish translation of "blocks" and "duplicates" (#6895)." href="https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/svn/revisions/4595">r4595</a> or Git commit:6659c630b264325</p>

<p>Hi,<br />I am using Redmine - 1.0.4 (2010-11-28) with Mysql 5.1 on Windows XP machine.</p>
<p>To replicate this issue follow the steps below.</p>
<p>1. Create a sample Project "Template 1" <br />2. Add a new Tracker called "Task" via the administration options<br />3. For the Project add Issue Categories e.g. Project Meetings<br />4. Create a new issue For the Project. For this new issues select the Tracker as "Task" and Category as "Project Meetings".<br />5. Now on the Issue Filter Options in Add Filter dropdown select "Category". <br />6. For this Category select Category "is" + "Project Meetings" <br />7. Apply this filter. Now you will see only issues with Category "Project Meetings" <br />8. Save this as query as "Project Meetings". When saving the Query mark it as "Public" and select the Status as "All" and save the query.<br />9. In the Administration select "Projects" Copy the above Project to create new project. In the Copy option select <br />Issue categories, Issues, Custom Queries, Members, Wiki pages, Forums.<br />10. Select the new created Project. Click on Issues Tab. Now in the Custom Queries when you select "Project Meetings" it does not list the correct issues.</p>

<p>Hi !</p>
<p>I'm an occasional Jira user, and there is a little feature that I really appreciate. Here are the details :</p>
<p>Imagine a little arrow just near the Projects link (on the very top). Clicking this arrow would load the projects list in a list (AJAX is my friend), then I could jump to a project quickly instead of having to load the entire page.</p>
<p>Having this would be a great pleasure. I know it's a detail, but such details make life easier isn't ? ;)</p>
So, if your holidays are boring, here is a little plus that would make it awesome :
<ul>
<li>Highlights projects the users is working on by splitting the list in two parts : "My projects", "Other projects". On a large list, I assume users often switch between a few projects, so it wouldn't be necessary to scroll.</li>

<p>Tried this with Safari and FireFox. Also tried with IE in a VM, but not sure that's so conclusive. All three were broken in slightly different ways. Reporting on Safari here, though.</p>
<ul>
<li>When I <em>left</em>-click the rectangle on the right side of a subtask list (what is that rectangle <em>for</em>, anyway?) Safari changes my cursor to the context-menu cursor. It stays that way until I hit ESC. Things are otherwise normal</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>When I <em>right</em>-click (or control-click) inside that rectangle, I get Safari's regular context menu (e.g. with "Back" and "Reload Page")</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>When I right-click (or control-click) anywhere outside that rectangle, it will bring up the Redmine context menu, but it seems only to notice my mouse position when I either click to select a menu item, or, for an instant, when I press the control key again. That makes it impossible to select items in submenus until you notice that you can get the menu to wake up when you press control, because the submenu won't be displayed otherwise.</li>
</ul>
<p>I tried to get some of the information requested at <a class="external" href="http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/SubmittingBugs">http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/SubmittingBugs</a>, but you may have seen my other issue.

When a iterate over all repositories it gives an exception on the first git repository. This occurs because respond_to_without_attributes? is not defined on git instances. This only occurs in the runner, not in the a plugin.</p>
<p>I can work around this by wrapping lines 1652 to 1660 with <br /><pre>
if object.respond_to? :respond_to_without_attributes?
</pre></p>
<p>The side-effect of this workaround is that the type of the git repository objects is not <em>Repository::Git</em> such as <em>Repository::Mercurial</em> but just <em>Git</em>.</p> Redmine - Feature #6808 (New): first class citizenry for all types of fields in Redminehttps://www.redmine.org/issues/68082010-11-02T18:31:29ZAlbert Rosenfield
<p>I think that core fields, plugin fields and custom fields should all be part of the same structure in the database and internals.</p>
<p>The goal: to treat each kind of field equally well everywhere in the Redmine interface.</p>
It would help with various stuff all around:
<ul>
<li>allow functionality to be segregated into separately maintainable plugins (eg. Gantt)</li>
<li>fix the inability to sort the order of some fields (eg. the placement of built-in timelog fields as opposed to custom ones)</li>
<li>fix various problems where columns are missing from output (eg custom fields in timelog detail view)</li>
<li>fix various problems with excess filtering options (eg. due-date when calendar+gantt+etc is disabled)</li>
<li>fix various problems with too little filtering options (eg. custom fields)</li>
</ul>
<p>Lots more, the point is that it would generally be a good thing.</p>
<p>(As a subsequent issue, at a hypothetical point in time where the above has happened, I'd also like to see a Permission automatically created for each field, so that an administrator can decide that fx. the Assignee field of an issue is only editable by some users. Ie. those who via various bindings have the automatically created "Edit <field>" permission.)</p> Redmine - Patch #6807 (New): internal hostname included in back_urlhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/68072010-11-02T18:17:33ZAlbert Rosenfield
<p>Hi</p>
<p>The documentation recommends that Redmine run behind a reverse proxy such as nginx for doing SSL and caching.</p>
<p>Is it on purpose that the internal URL ("localhost" in my case) rather than the external URL from Administration --> Settings --> General --> Host_name is exposed in this configuration?</p>
<p>Every time a user hits a page and is redirected to the login page, the back_url parameter in the query string contains the host "localhost".</p>

<p>In the version detail page of project with sub-projects for example 'http://redmine.example.org/projects/parent-project/versions/1' in the 'Issues by category' section it shows all categories of sub projects.

<p>I'd like to see a button in Redmine to atomically make a person the "active handler" for an issue.</p>
<p>Background:<br />-----------<br />When Redmine is used more as a support ticket system than a software development system, there is often a necessity for answering issues quickly after their creation. (In industry parlance, I think it is called a "guaranteed response time"?)</p>
<p>A couple of handlers may be on duty to respond to issues. Whenever a new issue pops up, they receive it on their dashboard (whatever screen they use for that), and start replying to it.</p>
<p>The problem is that two or more handlers often start replying with more or less the same response to the same issue, wasting their time.</p>
<p>Proposed solution:<br />------------------<br />A plugin or option that, when enabled, adds a "Grab" button to the issue list, for any issues that do not currently have a handler.</p>
<p>When clicked, the button just makes sure that noone else has already clicked the button, and when not, it atomically assigns the case to the user that clicked it.</p>
<p>(If another user pressed Grab first, a message is displayed to that effect, optimally with the user name of the person who got there first.)</p>
<p>How this solves the problem:<br />----------------------------<br />Now, handlers can first click the "Grab" button, and only when they receive a confirmation from the system that the case is now their responsibility, will they start to update the issue.</p>
<p>--</p>
<p>I have too little experience with Redmine to know if this is possible to implement as a plugin. If anyone could mentor a bit and tell me what the main things necessary for constructing a plugin (or patch) to do the above would be, maybe I could work on it myself.</p>
<p>Help much appreciated :-)</p> Redmine - Feature #6643 (New): real prioritieshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/66432010-10-12T14:08:13ZAlbert Rosenfield
<p>Hi</p>
<p>This is a slightly complex issue, but I wanted to air it anyway.</p>
<p>I'd like to see support for real priorities.</p>
<p>I don't mean the kind of priority that everyone else has, which is actually a severity level (1 thru 5, or named but similar levels).</p>
<p>With "real", I mean that if you take any two items on a prioritized list, one of them is always more important (= has higher priority) than the other.</p>
<p>Just like in the real world, when you create a prioritized list, every item has exactly one place on that list. No two items can reside at the same location in the prioritized list. (This is important.)</p>
<p>[Technically, in a database table, the priority-ranking column would be UNIQUE, so that there are as many values as there are issues.]</p>
<p>The same concept from the real world should be possible to perform in an issue tracker. Project coordinators (or another role) would have access to prioritize items, with the only limitation being that an issue cannot be prioritized above an issue which it is dependent upon (as obviously the dependency needs to be fixed first, thus the dependency must reside higher on the list of priorities).</p>
<p>Developers on a project would likely also have access to prioritize items, and any conflict should be resolved in the real world (or over irc, jabber, skype, etc) with the system's only responsibility being to send out an email to all involved parties when priorities have been changed.</p>
<p>[GUI-wise, prioritizing is best performed from a screen where the entire list of issues is present, such as <a class="external" href="http://redmine/projects/PROJECT/issues">http://redmine/projects/PROJECT/issues</a>.]</p>
<p>[Example GUI layout: a click on an issue line brings out a button panel in a margin reserved for this on the right-hand side of the issue list. The panel contains the buttons "move up", "move down", "move before..." and "move after...". Clicking move up/down does the obvious, while clicking the "move before/after" buttons would pop up a dialog layer that asks which item to put the item before or after..]</p>
<p>I hope this makes sense (English is not my native language!), if not I'd be happy to try and explain better.</p> Redmine - Defect #6583 (New): Separate non-subURI Redmine instances on the same machine cannot be...https://www.redmine.org/issues/65832010-10-06T01:37:04ZPierce Morton
<p>This problem is trivial to reproduce.</p>
<p>Create two separate Redmine folders from the 1.02 package.</p>
<p>Initialise both as Redmine instances using the standard procedures, and run them with WebRICK or Mongrel on two different ports (so one is on machine:1234 and the other on machine:3000 )</p>
<p>Log into one, move around a bit, then log into the other. Switch back to the first one and click a link. You will be taken to the login screen.</p>
<p>Apparently the original 'setcookie' specification ignores ports, so one instance clobbers the other's session cookie.</p>
<p>Proposed resolution:<br />I took a look at the Redmine code. The session seems to be always set with a name '_redmine_session' and a randomly generated secret.<br />What I propose is this:<br />Edit the rake task in 'initialisers.rake' to accept a single argument for an identifier for the instance. This identifier is appended to the '_redmine_session' string during code generation. Thus each Redmine instance doesn't stomp on the other's cookie even if they are hosted on the same machine.</p>
<p>This also provides a cleaner solution to <a class="issue tracker-3 status-5 priority-5 priority-high2 closed" title="Patch: session cookie path does not respect RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/3968">#3968</a> that avoids hand-editing code.</p> Redmine - Feature #6380 (New): filter in reporthttps://www.redmine.org/issues/63802010-09-13T12:32:59ZJerome Millon
<p>Hi, could you allow user to choose different filters in report (tracker, spent time, estimated time, due date, resolution %, priority, subject, etc.) ?</p>
<p>In my factory, managers need the following indicators by week, month and trimester for each person and for each task :
* time spent,
* initial estimated time,
* % done,
* remaining time,
* due date,
* category,
* resolution,
* affected version.</p>
<p>That's why those filtered values are very valuable for managers who can follow activity by week or by month.</p>
<p>Thereby we can compile a kind of changelog between two revisions with filters "affected version", "resolution" and "category".</p>
<p>Thank you.</p> Redmine - Feature #6369 (New): Add custom format field type that is Resolvershttps://www.redmine.org/issues/63692010-09-12T04:51:10ZBurt Culver
<p>I want to make a custom field that is a list of the resolvers on a project. This would allow the developer to "assign" a code review to a particular person without losing Assigned To status. We tried reassigning the issue to the code reviewer but it ended up confusing people watching the issue and you had to check the issue history to really understand who its really assigned to.</p>
<p>I could do this by hard coding a list of users in a List custom field, but since redmine already has the smarts to make the list of Assigned To: people, I should be able to use that list to assign a user to a custom field.</p> Redmine - Feature #6367 (New): Shorten links to tickets in comments to #1234 format on save https://www.redmine.org/issues/63672010-09-12T04:39:19ZBurt Culver
<p>If a user enters a link to a ticket in a comment like <a class="external" href="http://www.redmine.org/issues/6363">http://www.redmine.org/issues/6363</a>, redmine should shorten the link to <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Defect: NoMethodError causes HTTP 500 error (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/1234">#1234</a> so that readers can get the title hover effects of the shortened link.</p>

<p>When an issue does not have an end date assigned, but it does have a version assigned, and the version does have a date assigned, then the end date of the associated bug should be implicitly assumed to be the release date.</p>
<p>I think it's a misfeature to want the upper bound of an existing end date to be clamped to the release date, so I'm explicitly not asking for that here. Just when the end date is undefined / null.</p>

<p>Adding title attributes to various important interface elements (the top navigation elements come to mind) would help users new to Redmine to quickly learn something about the way the system works.</p>

<p>This would require that the title attribute text be available in the various translations.

<p>Writing <a class="wiki-page new" href="https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/SomePageName">some page name</a> every time just to add space is lots of unnecessary work.</p>
<p>Wiki should replace <a class="wiki-page new" href="https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/SomePageName">SomePageName</a> with something more friendly.</p>
<p>Simpler option is to just add spaces between words (works well for most of the names).</p>

<p>In discussion with one of our users the other day, It occurred to me that one can post project meetings in the project calendar by making<br />"Meeting" a new tracker type. Out of the box, you get:</p>
<ul>
<li>Meeting shows up on project calendar on the right day</li>
<li>You can "invite" people to the meeting by setting them as watchers</li>
<li>You can make subtasks for people to do things to prepare for the meeting</li>
</ul>
<p>The downsides are that you have to:</p>
<ul>
<li>put the time and location of the meeting in the Subject and/or description</li>
<li>Some issue fields (i.e. percent done, etc.) don't really apply</li>
<li>No way to create a repeating meeting, but you can copy the previous one and change the date.</li>
</ul>
<p>It occurs to me that one could correct most of the downsides by making Issues and Meetings subclasses of a common type that shows up in the calendar, but make Meetings have a few differing fields.</p> Redmine - Feature #6059 (New): Global linkshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/60592010-08-06T14:03:02ZJames Mahler
<p>On the right there is "issues" and "custom queries". The custom queries only show up on the projects they apply to.</p>
<p>I extensively use custom queries. Since there seems to be plenty of real estate on the right, it would be helpful to me anyways if there was another group for "links" (or named whatever). If there were a way to add my queries tied to a project over there (perhaps in settings) so I could quickly switch between projects with custom queries, that would be great.</p> Redmine - Feature #6058 (New): better sub project supporthttps://www.redmine.org/issues/60582010-08-06T13:53:08ZJames Mahler
<p>I use a lot of sub projects in redmine. Sub-projects don't work nearly as nice as they could. There are a few features that would make sub projects work much nicer.</p>
<ol>
<li>be able to inherit settings from parent project. Most notably is members section. Maybe something like a check box that says inherit from parent project disables being able to set it on sub projects.</li>
<li>email notifications you have to pick each project and it's sub projects. It would be nice if there was a choice for project + all sub projects.</li>
</ol>
<p>There are a few other things but those two (or just the first) would greatly help.</p> Redmine - Feature #5955 (New): Hooks should provide all controller instance variables by defaulthttps://www.redmine.org/issues/59552010-07-25T09:39:08ZHolger Just
<p>Currently, many hook calls provide some of the instance variables of the respective controller instance to the hook (plus some additional data). In <a class="issue tracker-1 status-8 priority-4 priority-default" title="Defect: hook for :view_repositories_show_contextual is incomplete (Reopened)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/5932">#5932</a>, it was shown again, that this data is often not sufficient.</p>
<p>A "common" pattern is to use <code>context[:controller].instance_variable_get("@my_var")</code> which is rather hacky from an API point of view. It would be better if by default all instance variables of the controller could be provided to the hook.</p>
<p>The best implementation would probably be by providing a proxy object to the hook. That way, the usage would not be restricted much but could provide a much cleaner API. Another possibility would be to copy some of the logic from the variable passing from the controller to the view.</p> Redmine - Feature #5938 (New): Project Page Viewing and Collapsing of Subprojectshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/59382010-07-22T11:59:40ZEric Losiewicz
<p>Currently in the main Project view, all subprojects are shown under the major projects. No way to collapse these views. If you have many subprojects, or subprojects of subprojects this view becomes cumbersome very quickly.</p>
<p>Another option that does not exist is being able to choose how much information is shown on the main 'Project' page. Being able to define what is viewable would also clean up this view. For example, I would like to be able to define only top level projects be viewable on main project page. In other words, don't display subprojects on the main page.</p> Redmine - Feature #5836 (New): Add "edit subject" (rename) function to context menuhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/58362010-07-08T01:52:13ZAkiko Takano

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I needed to setup fine grained permissions on my site, more specifically, the roles and their permissions, I need them to be configurable per project. I was disappointed Redmine didn't allow this level of fine grained control, as I'm sure it would be very useful for many people.</p>
<p>I need it because on the site I'm hosting, I'll be doing a few open source projects, but I also need to be able to develop closed source projects too. The current integration has it set up, so that if I want to disable User A from seeing the source (though the Repository browsing link), User A is disabled for every single project, but I want to allow User A to see the source of my open source project, but not my closed source one, and I DON'T want to disable the Repository module, because I want my developers to be able to browse with freedom like they should be able too. Besides that, if I have a closed source project and I disable the repository module, but I have some open source projects too, so I allow the permission role of non-member to be able to checkout code, they can get the code from my closed source project too, which isn't good!</p>
<p>Conclusion: Fine grained control would be GREAT. I was thinking of having fine grained control set to default (global configuration), but allowable to change the settings.</p>
<p>I use the SVN integration, so I would love it if this could work with SVN. Thank you.</p> Redmine - Feature #5799 (New): Add user management and group management permissionshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/57992010-07-01T13:44:19ZDavid Marín Carreño

<p>Hi!</p>
<p>I think it would be cool if we could save some documents, such as wiki pages, into the repository.<br />Or, for example, update the TODO file, depending on the issues. Or, attach files from the section "documents" to the repository.</p>
<p>Once again, for example. If we changed the wiki page -> redmine created new commit. Or else, we have changed the file in the repository "doc / wiki / index.tl", and it was renewed in the "wiki" section.</p>

<p>Links within a Wiki are one of the most fundamental requirements so creating links between pages should be a breeze.</p>
<p>One of the biggest hurdles to Wiki productivity as I see it is having to manually create and edit internal wiki page links.</p>
<p>I suggest:</p>
<ol>
<li>Extending the WYSIWYG link function to provide a simple internal page selection function for the new link i.e. page tree, recent pages, search for page</li>
<li>Allow for external links or manual entry as default, i.e. option 1) enter the URL for the link, or option 2) link to this page (issue) ...</li>

<p>Reasons why I find erics solution better:<br />- you can see in one table which tickets belong together. In the trunk solution you always have to look at the middle and at the top to correlate the tickets.<br />- you are able to make actions (change status etc.) on the parent and child tickets in erics solution.

<p>New script or additional switch to script/about that outputs all the info in script/about + redmine version information and automatically pastes it to a pastebin and outputs a url the user can share with support team. If there is a way to determine more about the environment (is it using passenger, fcgi, mongrel, thin, etc) that would be awesome.</p>
<p>Good way would be to use the pastebin.com API: <a class="external" href="http://pastebin.com/api.php">http://pastebin.com/api.php</a></p>
<p>This way we can tell users "Run script/helpme" and give us the url so we can more efficiently troubleshoot.</p> Redmine - Feature #5391 (New): progression of versions *per* *branch*https://www.redmine.org/issues/53912010-04-27T18:48:17ZDaniel Miller
<p>In some schools of thought, major-release versions are branches that are never merged wholesale back to trunk or to any other release-branch. Then point-releases occur along all of several actively developed/maintained major releases. For example, observe GCC. Currently, gcc-4.3, gcc-4.4, and gcc-4.5 (and perhaps many others that are off my radar screen right now) are all actively and rather independently developed and maintained while ever-more brand-new work is happening on trunk. There can be many versions released along, say, gcc-4.5 for a while, during the same period that, say, relatively fewer versions are released along gcc-4.3. I am not focusing on a old GCC bug whose resolution is being merged or ported to all of gcc-3.3, gcc-4.1, gcc-4.2, gcc-4.3, gcc-4.4, gcc-4.5, and trunk. Instead, I am focusing on the release identifiers that bundle up multiple (different) resolutions along each of these independent branches.</p>
<p>Conversely, Redmine does not firmly have this concept of versions progressing along branches independently, concurrently. Instead, Redmine's current lack of capability implicitly implies a strictly linear set of versions. For example, roadmap is a linear nonbranching list, not an n-ary tree that could model what is going on with GCC as described above.</p>
<p>This is not only important for GCC in OSS. This is the way that industrial commercial software is often delivered to customers. Indeed, in defense contractors and telecom equipment manufacturers, it is customary to have not only a branch per major release, but rather: every contractual release to <em>each</em> customer is itself a "major release" that deserves its own branch with a linear progression of versions along that branch. In terms of GCC (used as a purely hypothetical example here instead of an arcade body of software on some hardware that you have never heard of), imagine that gcc-4.4 was delevered to the Navy, the Army, the Marines, AT&T, Verizon, and Deutsche Telekom. Not only would gcc-4.4 be an on-going branch (that is never merged wholesale with any other release-branch or trunk) that is separate from gcc-4.3 and gcc-4.5 as described above, no, the set of branches {gcc-4.4-Navy, gcc-4.4-Army, gcc-4.4-Marines, gcc-4.4-ATT, gcc-4.4-Verizon, gcc-4.4-DeutscheTelekom} would all be created. Why? Because the cost of certifying & deploying a release on to possibly 100,000s of machines can run into the millions of dollars per release. Thus, Navy wants to have its own gate-keeper to control how often new releases come in their door. Army wants their own gate-keeper. Marines, their own. AT&T, their own. Verizon, their own. Deutsche Telekom, their own. Along with all of this, each one wants their own report of what changed and precisely why, for what they call "traceability" so that, say, one telecom company is not precipitating troublesome changes into another telecom company's software, perhaps maliciously. This is why tools like Redmine (e.g., DevTrack, DDTS, ClearQuest) have existed at such companies for over 20 years as COTS tools (and even longer as in-house tools).</p>
<p>But in short, solve the complete GCC problem of concurrent-branch development & maintenance well and everything else will naturally fall into place for the even-more-elaborate scenarios too. Indeed, it seems that, analogous to the GCC situation, even Ruby would be needing this feature too for maintenance along the 1.8 version of the language that occurs concurrently with development & maintenance along the 1.9 version of the language.</p> Redmine - Defect #5273 (New): Unable to configure PluginSimpleCI plugin - custom fields list is e...https://www.redmine.org/issues/52732010-04-08T14:58:19ZAlexander Zhovnuvaty

<p>It would be useful to have a feature/plugin that would allow a Project Manager (or equivalent role) to backup all the files and information from a Redmine project. Maybe this could be implemented through a plugin, and would basically grab all the files and data and save them as a zip file as raw data. For bandwidth constraints, the number of times this could be done could be limited by admins.</p>
<p>Down the road, it'd be good to have a feature to upload a project to a new instance of Redmine, allowing for true data portability.</p> Redmine - Feature #5078 (New): Documental Repository vía JCRhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/50782010-03-15T08:57:15ZJon Blasco

<p>Using git, every commit in the repository has a different hash. The chances to have twice the same hash in two different repositories are quite low.<br />However when we reference a commit (with commit:xxx) in an issue but this commit is not in the project's repository but in an other's, the link isn't made.</p>

<p>In our organization we do large amounts of peer code review. This is done one a per Issue basis. Often there can be 20-30 subversion commits per ticket by multiple developers. Each of these commits may modify multiple files. The review process involves sanity checking code and enforcing coding and application standards on the completed Issue. When it comes to identifying what files to review, reviewers need to look within multiple associated revisions.</p>
<p>It would be invaluable to have a list of files that have been modified by the associated revisions. This list could be collapsible and appear underneath Related Issues on the show issue screen. The link text would be the file path within the repository and when clicked would take the user directly to the HEAD revision of that file.</p>
<p>This list of files modified per Issue would simplify and speed up the code review process. Often we merge functionality between projects sharing a similar code base. To have a list of files referenced for a feature ticket would also allow us quickly identify what files to merge into other code bases.</p> Redmine - Feature #4829 (New): Write an installerhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/48292010-02-13T04:31:54Zoliver stieber
<p>I know there are installation instructions on the wiki, but it would be really nice to have some kind of installer for redmine (and deb packages would be cool too).</p>
<p>Maybe your waiting until you reach 1.0 and only want competent people who will do good testing and bug reports to play around / see it at the moment?</p>
<p>I say this because people (including myself!) tend not to fully read things. When I initially and even the second time I went to install redmine I just blindly kinda followed the command line bits of the installation process and didn't look at the bit that says which version of whatever I needed to install and run a particular version of redmine, or I did I just didn't correlate the version numbers that are hard coded in the redmine installation instructions page with the version numbers in the command lines and so replace them.</p>
<p>It may be a good idea to update the wiki with [matcing version of rails for version of redmine] etc... to make it a littler clearer and not have people thinking that redmine didn't work like I initially did.</p>
<p>Also looking at the different instructions for different distributions etc... they all see to advice different (sometimes completely different) things to do, e.g. ubuntu says to use an old version of redmine with virtual box. debian says you can use packages etc... (don't the deb packages work with ubuntu?)</p>
<p>Also after I finally got redmine (on my third attempt) working there were some features I was really expecting to be in there (like issue dependancies and dependancies) that weren't in there. There were some kind of relation ship things that I couldn't quite work out what they were supposed to do by their names and dependant / child/ pendant/ parent (the ones I was really after) didn't seem to be there.</p>
<p>After a bit of head scratching I found out that it was supported by installing a plugin, it would be nice to have the installation script or whatever also install plugins by name and by feature and also to have packages for those plugins.</p>
<p>It may also be a good idea to update the redmine installation instructions so that they mention a list of additional features that are supported by installing plugins and which plugin to install to get that feature with a pointer to the documentation and installation instruction fot it.</p>
<p>Also the installation howtos following page <a class="external" href="http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/HowTos">http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/HowTos</a> I think should really be tidied up and integrated with the core redmine install page. (note the redmine installation instructions which is also really a how to doesn't seem to be listed).</p>
<p>I don't mind doing it if you let me know what you would like doing. I'm not working at the moment so have plenty of time to do things (though I also have plenty of things to do, I need something like redmine so that I can organize them all and give me (and my girlfiend) a nice stream of tickets, since if I don't have a list of things to do I either end up doing nothing or just doing things impulsively and not usually in the most productive or correct priority order)</p> Redmine - Feature #4826 (New): picker needed to find id's of related issues and projects etc...https://www.redmine.org/issues/48262010-02-13T02:41:08Zoliver stieber
<p>Background....</p>
<p>"One of the features I need the most from a project / bug management system is the ability to relate projects and bugs together.</p>
<p>This is because projects or modules / stages of a project are often dependant unpon othh projects reacing a certain point of completion before they can go ahead and it's nice to have some documentation of relations between projects / modules etc.. to assist in configuration management.</p>
<p>I also work by having one large project / bug that covers a partular bug or feature set, say plugins, and then break that down, first into sub projects and modules, then into features all the way down to individual work blocks that may take no longer than an hour or so to complete that can then be assigned and picked up by someone.</p>
<p>This assists greatly in refining estimates, seeing progress, making sure that everything that needs to be done is done and seeing what has been done and what has been left out and many other project/ team and configuration management activities , as well as enabling fine grained documentation for the specifications , design etc... of everything."</p>
<p>The way redmine works at the moment isn't very user friendly for doing this,</p>
<p>I think the easy solution would be to implement a picker to enable the user to search existing project / subproject /modules (I don't think redmine names anything a module yet, it's really a subproject) / issues etc... so I don't have to open another browser window and go through the whole process myself.</p>
<p>It may also be very tricky to do this with other redmine clients, so if the search ability with filtering capabilities was made part i it would be good. Also if it was AJAX able then the picker could be dynamic in the client being used.</p>
<p>It should also be possible to add these relations to a ticket / prject etc... when it is created and to pick the relation target as being a new ticket / project etc... so that I can easly for instance create a number of dependant issues from an existing issue or raise an issue and then create it's pendant issue or project.</p> Redmine - Defect #4588 (New): In status form of version view, link to issues results limited.https://www.redmine.org/issues/45882010-01-15T01:11:47ZKihyun Yun
<p>I shared several versions with two projects, one is parent, and the other is child. I defined these versions in child project.<br />And the parent project has some issues, and child too.</p>
<p>In parent project, the shared version is shown (GREAT), and it shows all issues from parent and child (NICE!!).</p>
<p>But I clicked the the issues link at status form of version view. Result of issue search condition is limited to child project.</p>
<p>Especially, two projects have different trackers and categories.</p>
<p>In link to user's issue results limited to child project because this version was defined at child project.</p>
<p>In roadmap view, link to version jumps to child projects version view.<br />But the result of issues retrieved from two projects.</p>
<p>In my humble opinion, the result must be retrieved from top most projects.<br />Or the result must be displayed more detail style.</p>
<p>For example.</p>

<p>My company uses basecamp for project management, of which software development is only a part. Redmine works well for my needs, but I respect that the simplicity and elegance of basecamp justifies it's use by the remainder of the company.</p>
<p>What I would like is to integrate basecamp TODO's and redmine issues.</p>
<ol>
<li>the (basecamp)TODO item would be the subject of the (redmine) issue</li>
<li>comments on the TODO would create a comment on the redmine issue (and vice versa)</li>
<li>resolving on basecamp would change the status on redmine (and vice versa)</li>
<li>time tracking</li>

<p>Currently custom queries in the issues list are defined as a list of filters concatenated with an AND operator.</p>
<p>E.g. a custom query would be to show only issues where the Status is OPEN AND the Target Version is 0.5.0.</p>
<p>It is not possible to formulate an OR.</p>
<p>We have some custom fields to priorize issues from different point of views. E.g. the custom fields "Priority development", "Priority Customer", "Priority User", "Priority Sales", ...</p>
<p>These fields are set by different people in our organization. E.g. the "Priority Sales" field is set by people of our Sales organization. Using these fields we are deriving the tickets for a new version by selecting those tickets with the highest priority in one of these custom fields.</p>
<p>Now it would be nice to be able to create a custom query where either the "Priority Sales" OR the "Priority Customer" OR ... has a high priority.</p>

<p>Such a thing would help indexation of projects, wikis, forums, and any other relevant pages for the most important bots.<br />Main benefit would be the ability to say to these bots when a page has been updated for the last time (especially for wikis pages).<br />It would go similarly to what have been recently done for the robots.txt file: <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Defect: robots.txt file is has incorrect urls (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/2491">#2491</a> and <a class="changeset" title="Replaces the obsolete robots.txt with a cached action (#2491)." href="https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/svn/revisions/2319">r2319</a>.</p>
<p>In a more developed version it could allow the administrators (and maybe managers too) to set the periodicity scanning value for specifics pages (like news pages for instance, or, again, wikis pages), or give some pages a bigger importance value for indexing.</p>
<p>It is also imaginable to think about a "robots scan configuration tools" that fusion tunings for robots.txt and sitemaps.xml. Feature of such tool would be the ability to configure which pages should be scanned by (which) robots.</p>
<p>In the end: fine controls of what search robots can see.</p> Redmine - Feature #2613 (New): Define working steps/packages for ticketshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/26132009-01-28T12:38:53ZThomas Woelfle
<p>The way we currently use Redmine is that some user creates a new Ticket and describes the task. When planning a new Version or when reviewing open tickets some other user tries to break down the ticket into steps that have to be done in order to close the ticket. I.e. in case of a bug steps would be something like:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reproduce the bug</li>
<li>Write a test that reproduces the bug</li>
<li>Fix the bug</li>
<li>...</li>
</ul>
<p>This breakdown is documented as comment of the ticket. Depending on that breakdown the time estimation is done. At some later time a user starts working on that ticket. I.e. he tries to reproduce a bug and fixes it. In order to track the progress that user updates the "%Done" field and provides comments on what he has already done. These comments are usually something like "Reproduced bug" or "Fixed bug". I.e. they almost always refer to the steps defined earlier. For the project controlling the "%Done" field is currently not very useful since the updates of that field our users make are almost arbitrarly. We are currently more interested in the comments because the qualify what has already been done for a ticket and what has still to be done.</p>
<p>Now it would be nice to be able to create such steps explicitly for a ticket. A user should be able to mark such a step as something like "completed" when he has finished that step. The "%Done" field can then become a computed field depending on how much steps have already been completed.</p> Redmine - Feature #2596 (New): There are X users currently {editing|viewing} this tickethttps://www.redmine.org/issues/25962009-01-26T23:13:20ZDouglas Manley
<p>I would like to know when another user is editing or viewing a particular ticket (via periodic AJAX request) so that I know whether or not to edit safely.</p>
<p>Perhaps a system-wide option for showing (or not showing) user names (or users in your group or something).</p> Redmine - Patch #2576 (New): Partially decouple application_helper.rb from Gravatarhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/25762009-01-24T22:17:36ZBrad Beattie
<p>The application_helper.rb directly accesses the Gravatar function by email. I would argue that it would be better to instead use vendor/plugins/gravatar/lib/gravatar.rb's gravatar_for function with the user object.</p>
<p>The situation I have here is that my local instance has modified the Gravatar plugin to use locally stored avatars linked by email address (as dictated by application_helper.rb). Occasionally, users change their email addresses, which requires renaming their avatar files. If the change I proposed was implemented, this local avatar plugin would be doable. Without it, the avatar system is intrinsically tied to email addresses.</p>
<p>I'm not sure what patch formats you prefer, so here's the proposed change:</p>
<pre><code class="ruby syntaxhl"><span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">avatar</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">user</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">options</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="p">{</span> <span class="p">})</span>
<span class="k">if</span> <span class="no">Setting</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nf">gravatar_enabled?</span>
<span class="k">return</span> <span class="n">gravatar_for</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">user</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="k">unless</span> <span class="n">user</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nf">mail</span><span class="p">.</span><span class="nf">blank?</span> <span class="k">rescue</span> <span class="kp">nil</span>
<span class="k">end</span>
<span class="k">end</span>
</code></pre>
<p>Apologies if my syntax is wrong. I'm so very, very new to Ruby.</p> Redmine - Feature #2082 (New): Rename Issue as Ticket (or ...) in GUIhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/20822008-10-24T09:31:17ZErwan Ducroquet
<p>Currently (0.7.x) by default the GUI use the name "Issue" (as in Mantis, Jira) for something that is more generic.<br />It is sometime confusing for the occasional user who wants to look at features or enhancements.</p>
It will be great to replace it by something like (by order of preference) :
<ol>
<li>"Query" as in ClearQuest</li>
<li>"Ticket" as in TRAC</li>
<li>"WorkItem" as in MS-TeamSystem and Rational-TeamConcert</li>
</ol> Redmine - Feature #2060 (New): Make project members visibility configurable to user groupshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/20602008-10-21T13:05:58ZTobias Israel
<p>It would be nice to have the ability for configuring the visibility of all project members. This feature is an essential one when guaranty privacy while only be a 'normal' user.</p> Redmine - Feature #1870 (New): Show progress towards the nearest version in the sidebarhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/18702008-09-08T14:34:17ZMarcin Kasperski
<p>It would be nice, if minimized version of the version progress tracker (just version name, percentage, finished/remaining count and graphical bar) could be shown in the redmine sidebar (at least on the overview page and the issues list page, but maybe also on other pages).</p> Redmine - Feature #1858 (New): Provide Resources for Webmasters without access to SSH/Shellhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/18582008-09-04T21:52:35ZAlteran Ancient
<p>Again, my title says it all. Many modern hosts use cPanel or Plesk, and do not permit their client to use SSH. <pre>
"If the client has cPanel, why do they need SSH access? They could elevate themselves and attack the service!"
</pre></p>
<p>Therefore, Redmine should come with ready-built SQL Queries for people to run in phpMyAdmin, because SSH access with these cPanel/Plesk and Shell-less accounts can start and stop ruby applications via the control panel, but cannot run the rake commands.</p> Redmine - Feature #1827 (New): [wish] Add another notification option: insert it into the activit...https://www.redmine.org/issues/18272008-08-28T12:48:40ZÉric Veiras Galisson
<p>If you modify/comment an issue or a wiki page..., and want to know if someone responds to your comments, you have only one possibility: 'watch' this issue and redmine send you modification notifications by e-mail (if the option is set).</p>
<p>It could be interesting to have another suscribtion option: resuming this modifications into a dedicated page ('monitoring') or insert it into the Activity page.<br />Another option could be to add a widget to insert this information in 'My Page'.</p>
<p>I think the interest is to use one and only one tool to manage your (or others) projects: Redmine, without the need to check your mailbox.</p> Redmine - Feature #1824 (New): Pastebinhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/18242008-08-27T20:43:05ZAnonymous
<p>I think any community that shares code can make very good use of a pastebin and it would make a great addition to the features provided in Redmine.</p>
Some of the things I would like to see are:
<ol>
<li>Diff views when comparing revisions.</li>
<li>Syntax highlighting.</li>
<li>Optional expiration time.<br />When the time expires the code is deleted.</li>
<li>Optional private codes.<br />Password protected.<br />Select specific registered members that are allowed to view it.</li>
</ol>
<p>1 & 2 are the only ones that are important to me but I expect others would inevitably request the other things I mentioned as well.</p> Redmine - Defect #1628 (Reopened): redmine sends http on forms on https serverhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/16282008-07-12T08:58:14ZMichal Bielicki
<p>I have the following configuration:<br />Glassfish v2UR2<br />jruby 1.1.2<br />rails 2.0.2</p>
<p>I have a http-listener on port 443 with security enabled.<br />Applications like xwiki, spree (rails shopping system) and others work fine.<br />redmine is supposed to be the root application on the system.</p>
<p>I had it all running fine with redmine-0.7.0 and updated to 0.7-stable from svn (I am running revision 1651). Now <a class="external" href="https://mywebserver/">https://mywebserver/</a> redirects to <a class="external" href="http://mywebserver/login">http://mywebserver/login</a> which of course does not exist.<br />When I manage to login by changing urls by hand, website links work fine, but all forms, like creating issues etc, still try to send to a http address instead of a https address.<br />THis was nt happening with 0.7.0</p> Redmine - Feature #1496 (New): Save queries for any projecthttps://www.redmine.org/issues/14962008-06-18T19:53:17ZT Obu
<p>The UI could look like:</p>
<pre>
Save query
[x] For any project
[x] Across projects
</pre>
<p>The default is across projects, but it doesn't always work - <a class="issue tracker-1 status-5 priority-3 priority-lowest closed" title="Defect: Queries on versions don't work globally (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/1495">#1495</a>.</p> Redmine - Feature #877 (New): ability to vary the units used to track timehttps://www.redmine.org/issues/8772008-03-17T14:01:01Zilenia zara
<p>Some development methodologies suggest tracking time in points or even "tomatoes" (<a class="external" href="http://www.tecnicadelpomodoro.it">http://www.tecnicadelpomodoro.it</a>). It would be nice if Redmine had the ability to support these forms of time tracking.</p> Redmine - Feature #561 (New): Inviteshttps://www.redmine.org/issues/5612008-01-16T17:07:00ZJim Woods
<p>Thanks for Redmine. It is working well for me. A feature I would like to see added is the ability of an existing user,<br />with proper role, to invite others to join a project.</p>
<p>Example:<br />JoeUser with Role Manager invites <a class="email" href="mailto:bob@example.com">bob@example.com</a> to join project XYZ.<br />An email is sent to <a class="email" href="mailto:bob@example.com">bob@example.com</a> with some default text (or a special message written by JoeUser) and a URL that<br />will allow him to register and automatically make him a member of project XYZ.<br />If <a class="email" href="mailto:bob@example.com">bob@example.com</a> doesn't register in N days, the url is removed.</p>
<p>Thanks again.</p> Redmine - Feature #513 (New): Different behavior for deployments or users with only one projecthttps://www.redmine.org/issues/5132007-12-05T11:06:00ZRocco Stanzione
<p>For a deployment or user with only one project, I would like the user to be taken straight to the project page when<br />he logs in. The Projects menu item at the top should be unavailable (a new project can still be created in the<br />Administration interface). The Latest Projects widget on the Home page should be replaced, possibly with a Latest Issues<br />widget.</p>
<p>Currently I have one Redmine deployment with many projects, one of which is the only project available to some users,<br />and another deployment with only one project involved. These changes would enhance workflow and the overall experience<br />in both situations.</p> Redmine - Feature #470 (New): Wiki to Documentation publishinghttps://www.redmine.org/issues/4702007-10-30T15:48:00ZFrank DePinho
<p>It would be nice is one could "TAG" wiki content or use some other mechanism where a "publish to<br />documentation" option would allow selected the applicable content and posibility organize, allowing for using the<br />Wiki as a living document and providing a mechanism to publish a specific version of the Wiki content as official document<br />version. The end result would be a pdf with applicable table of contents, glossary, etc based on a template maybe<br />automatically published to the "Documents" area.</p>
<p>Thoughts?</p> Redmine - Feature #426 (New): In Reports, simple Show Estimated Time/Hours assigned to Each USERhttps://www.redmine.org/issues/4262007-09-05T14:47:00ZMan Cool
<p>In the REPORTS, it would be nice to easily see "Estimated/Projected" hours assigned to a Particular User.<br />(maybe per project and over 'all projects')<br />Also, easy list of projected/estimated work hours left on a PROJECT ...</p>
<p>Basically, you want to be able to look at REPORTS and see, hmmm we've estimated this project still has 60 hours of worktime<br />needed and 50% of that is supposed to be done by JOE and the Due date is in THREE Days! We need to reshuffle/reassign<br />work to other users so we can get the project done, or maybe extend due date on some issues/features in the project<br />etc.....sorry if this is somehow doable and I missed it, I'm quite new, still trying to figure out why i don't have<br />a gantt link on the left like on your own demo installation...thnx<br />Dan</p> Redmine - Feature #397 (New): "User Story" Agile concept supporthttps://www.redmine.org/issues/3972007-07-26T13:55:00ZBruno Fonzi
<p>I think redMine can be easily adopted in an project using an Agile methodology.<br />Great product. Well done !</p>
<p>The only thing I am really missing is the support of User Stories.</p>
<p>Basically a Story is based on a number of tasks, its tasks and their completion makes a story done. This allows more<br />people working on a story contemporaneously.</p>
<p>For more information see Xplanner feature:<br /><a class="external" href="http://www.xplanner.org/planning.html">http://www.xplanner.org/planning.html</a></p>
<p>...<br />Developers estimate the effort required to implement the stories.</p>
<p>In XPlanner, stories may be given an estimate before tasks are defined. This can be useful for initial rough estimation<br />to determine if it's feasible to implement the set of stories requested by the customer.</p>
