h1. Plugins 

 Redmine plugins rely on "Rails engines":http://rails-engines.org/ to add functionalities to the application. 

 h2. Installing a plugin 

 1. If you're using a 0.7.x release, you need to install the "Rails engines plugin":http://rails-engines.org/ (make sure to get the Rails 2.0.2 version). As of 0.8.0, Rails engines is included in Redmine, so skip this step unless you're using an older Redmine version. 

 <pre> 
 ruby script/plugin install http://svn.rails-engines.org/engines/tags/rel_2.0.0/ 
 mv vendor/plugins/rel_2.0.0 vendor/plugins/engines 
 </pre> 

 2. Then, copy your plugin directory into @#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins@. 

 3. If the plugin requires a migration, run the following command to upgrade your database (make a db backup before): 

   rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production 

 4. Restart Redmine 

 You should now be able to see the plugin list in _Administration -> Plugins_ and configure the newly installed plugin (if the plugin requires to be configured). 

 h2. Plugin list 

 A full list of available Redmine plugins can be found at the [[PluginList|Redmine plugin list]]. 

 More plugins (some in very early development), which are not listed at the [[PluginList|Redmine plugin list]] but are publicly available on "GitHub":http://www.github.org can be found using a "search like this":http://github.com/search?type=Repositories&language=&q=redmine&repo=&langOverride=&x=0&y=0&start_value=1. 

 h2. Writing plugins 

 There is a step-by-step [[Plugin_Tutorial|tutorial]] about writing a plugin. Some more (detailed) information is collected and stored can be found in the "[[Plugin_Internals|plugin internals]]" [[Plugin_Internals|plugin internals]] page. 
 More (general) developer information references can be found in the [[Guide#Developer-Guide|Redmine Developer Guide]].
