Have you ever wanted to change the author of an issue?¶

This plugin does exactly it. And only it.¶

It's not a new idea. There are other plugins around for doing it.

But I had a hard time getting them to work with the recent versions of Redmine.

You may also want to know that:

• this plugin does not have any external dependencies (good)

• this plugin does not use monkey patching and view overrides (good)

• this plugin works with the recent versions for Redmine (excellent)

It uses Redmie hooks, so should work with the future releases as well.

All you need to do is to download the plugin code to your Redmine/plugins directory.

There are two easy way to do it:

• Use git clone

Go to your redmine/plugins folder and do:

git clone git@github.com:staskie/simple_author_change.git

• Unzip a zip file

Download a file from [[https://github.com/staskie/simple_author_change/archive/master.zip]] to your redmine/plugins folder and uncompress it.

VERY IMPORTANT Make sure that the plugin is installed in plugins/simple_author_change folder. If you pick a different name for the folder IT WILL JUST NOT WORK - as it didn't for the person from first comment.

Steps after the installation¶

You also need to turn on the module for your project and add change_issue_author property to your group.

IMPORTANT¶

If you have any problems with installing the plugin or running it with your installation of Redmie, please open a new issue on github:
