User ratings:   (0)

BF Readup tracks which Redmine issues and updates users have actually read, based on real interaction rather than status flags or timestamps.

It provides My Page widgets for unread updates, recently visited issues, and most read issues, giving a more accurate view of what is genuinely new for each user.

The plugin was developed internally as part of a Redmine rollout and is intentionally opinionated in its design.

Installation notes

1. Download the plugin into the Redmine plugins directory:
plugins/bf_readup

2. Run database migrations:
bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

3. Restart Redmine.

IMPORTANT
The plugin relies on PostgreSQL-specific features and is not fully compatible with other database engines, and never will be.
