Redmine

A lightweight, powerful plugin designed for Redmine 7.0.x that allows administrators to dynamically rearrange project and global application menu tabs using a visual drag-and-drop sorting interface.

1. Features

• Visual Sorter: Intuitive drag-and-drop vertical list interface embedded right inside the plugin settings.
• Unified Scope: Safely reorders menu items across both high-level global layouts and individual project-level pages.
• Third-Party Compatibility: Automatically preserves and falls back to accommodate menu tabs loaded by other installed plugins.
• UI Cleanliness: Dynamically overwrites labels and strips standard black browser pop-up tooltips for a modern dashboard look.

1. Installation Steps

1. 1. Position the Directory
   Ensure your folder is placed under your Redmine installation directory and matches the internal module architecture requirements exactly:
   ```text
   /path/to/redmine/plugins/redmine_menutabs_reorder/
   ```
   Note: The physical directory name must be exactly `redmine_menutabs_reorder` to align with the plugin namespace.

1. 2. Install Bundle Dependencies
   Run the installation sequencer from your core Redmine root path to register the plugin environment hooks:
   ```bash
   cd /path/to/redmine
   bundle install --without development test
   ```

1. 3. Clear Cache & Restart Server
   Purge stale framework view paths and reload your web server instance to load the new modules:
   ```bash

1. Clear application rendering caches
   bundle exec rake tmp:cache:clear RAILS_ENV="production"

1. Trigger a reload (Passenger / Puma / Nginx)
   touch tmp/restart.txt
   ```

2. Navigate to Administration -> Plugins.
