32 22 Jean-Philippe Lang
33 50 Go MAEDA
Host name and path of your Redmine server. This name is used to write URL in emails sent to users. i.e.: the hostname of this precise Redmine is redmine.org.
34 22 Jean-Philippe Lang

Redmine guesses the value of this setting and displays it as an example below the text box. The guessed value is appropriate for your Redmine server in most cases.
36
37 22 Jean-Philippe Lang

Protocol used to generate links in email notifications. _Default: http_
40

h3. Cache formatted text (1.0)
50
51 50 Go MAEDA
Text formatting transforms raw text to HTML and runs each time a formatted text is sent to a user's browser (eg. issue description, wiki page...), and this process can be slow with large pages or texts.
52 24 Jean-Philippe Lang
53 43 Ben Blanco
This setting lets you enable caching of formatted text.
54 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
55 63 Go MAEDA
The storage to be used to store cached data depends on the configuration of a cache store. The default cache store is "FileStore":http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Cache/FileStore.html. It stores cached data as files in @tmp/cache@ directory.
56 43 Ben Blanco
57 64 Go MAEDA
You can configure to change the cache store to other one such as "MemoryStore":http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Cache/MemoryStore.html and "MemCacheStore":http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActiveSupport/Cache/MemCacheStore.html by adding a setting like @config.cache_store = :memory_store@ to your  @config/environments/production.rb@, for example:
58 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
59
60 63 Go MAEDA
<pre>
61
Rails.application.configure do
62
  # Settings specified here will take precedence over those in config/application.rb
63 43 Ben Blanco
64 63 Go MAEDA
  config.cache_store = :memory_store
65 43 Ben Blanco
66 63 Go MAEDA
  ...
67 43 Ben Blanco
</pre>
68 24 Jean-Philippe Lang

You can read more about cache stores in the Rails guides:

_Default: Yes_
431 42 Sebastian Paluch
432
You can disable this option and automate the call to Repository#fetch_changesets using cron to regularly retrieve the revisions for all of the repositories in the background.
433
Example:
434 14 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production</pre>
435 36 Mischa The Evil
436 3 Jean-Philippe Lang
For Redmine 2.x:
437 18 Mischa The Evil
438
<pre>ruby script/rails runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production</pre>
439 21 Nick Fischer
440 18 Mischa The Evil
For Redmine 3.x:

442 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>bin/rails runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production</pre>
443 21 Nick Fischer
444 8 Jean-Philippe Lang
You can also call this task from your repository in a post-commit or post-receive hook, so that changesets are fetched after each commit.
445 59 Go MAEDA
Here is a tutorial for doing so with git: http://web.archive.org/web/20160523024839/http://www.barricane.com/remine-git-post-receive.html

447 1 Jean-Philippe Lang

h3. Referencing issues in commit messages
460 4 Jean-Philippe Lang
461 9 Jean-Philippe Lang
When fetched from the repositories, commit messages are scanned for referenced or fixed issue IDs.
462
These options lets you define keywords that can be used in commit message to reference or fix issues automatically, and the status to apply to fixed issues.
463 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
464 9 Jean-Philippe Lang
Default keywords are:
465
466
* for referencing issues: refs, references, IssueID
467
* for fixing issues: fixes, closes
468
469
There's no default status defined for fixed issue. You'll have to specify it if you want to enable auto closure of issues.
470 27 Larry Cai
If you want to reference issues without using keywords, enter a single star: * in the *Referencing keywords* (Administration/Repository) setting. In this case, any issue ID found in the message will be linked to the changeset.
471 9 Jean-Philippe Lang
472
Example of a working commit message using default keywords:
473
474
  This commit refs #1, #2 and fixes #3
475
476
This message would reference issues 1 and 2 and automatically fix issue 3.
477
After a keyword issue IDs can be separated with a space, a comma or &.

The keywords are caseinsensitive and at least one blankspace or colon is needed between the keyword and the first hash to produce

a match. More examples that will produce the same result as the example above:<pre>
481
This commit refs:#1, #2 and fixes #3
482
This commit Refs  #1, #2 and fixes #3
483
This commit REFS: #1, #2 and fixes #3

h3. Enable time logging
487
488
Allows time logging directly from commit messages. This only makes sense if you activated the "Time tracking" module in said project. In this case, you can add special words in your commit message to indicate the time you spent on an issue.
489
490
The basic syntax for doing that is : @@<time>@, where time consists in a number of hours or minutes.

This is the type of activity that should be used when detecting there's a log time in a commit message (see above).
