Redmine

I wanted to use this immediately, so I wrapped it in a redmine plugin. There was a small trick needed, so here's the relevant code to be put, for example, in redmine_wt/lib/wt.rb and called from redmine_wt/init.rb using require_dependency.

# Dependency loading hell. http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/166578#new
require 'dispatcher'
Dispatcher.to_prepare do
  Redmine::WikiFormatting::Macros.class_eval do

    # wiki template macro
    desc "Replace token inside a template. Example:\n\n !{{template(WikiTemplatePage,token=foo,token2=bar)}}." 
    macro :template do |obj, args|
      page = Wiki.find_page(args.shift.to_s, :project => @project)
      raise 'Page not found' if page.nil? || !User.current.allowed_to?(:view_wiki_pages, page.wiki.project)

      @included_wiki_pages ||= []
      raise 'Circular inclusion detected' if @included_wiki_pages.include?(page.title)
      @included_wiki_pages << page.title
      out = textilizable(page.content, :text, :attachments => page.attachments)
      @included_wiki_pages.pop

      args.collect do |v|
        v[/(\w+)\W*\=\W*(.+)$/]
        key = $1
        value = $2.strip.gsub("<br />", "")
        out = out.gsub(key, value)
      end
      out
    end
  end
end

I've not published this plugin, since it's so simple, but thought I should at least comment on this issue. Basically the above code is 90% Vianney's wiki_template.txt file, with a small wrapper based on code I saw in the init.rb of the task-board plugin by Dan Hodos.

Thanks for the plugin, I didn't know that we can add new macro with plugin (it's my first redmine and ruby hack), it's nice.

Hi Craig,

Could you explain a bit more how install your little plugin ? In my redmine init.rb is only in plugins.

So, which should be the content of init.rb.

How could I add this plugin to plugins directory ?

vendor/plugins/redmine_wikitemplate/{init.rb, wt.rb}, any file more ?

Thank you !

This seems quite useful, any chance we could get something like this integrated? Perhaps "custom parameterizable macros"?

Wiki templates are a huge deal, we should have some official support for them.

Closing this, status is resolved since 400 days and more (issue was last updated more than 400 days ago)...

As one of our customers at Planio Redmine hosting asked for this macro, we adapted it by reducing code duplication and transformed it into a full plugin. You can find the GPL-licensed plugin at https://github.com/planio-gmbh/redmine_wiki_template.
