Customization of the home page

Added by Grant McEwan over 14 years ago

Hi there,

Just wondering if there's an easy way of customizing the home page.

I'd like to remove the "Latest Projects" and add instead "latest issues".

any pointers on where to look?

Thanks
Grant

It's hard-coded in the view at present, you could hack that if you know rails well enough though.

You can possibly try PluginBlocksLayout...

Hi Victor,

What does blockslayout actually do? does it have the ability to change that layout?

The screen shots don't seem to show much other than configuring it.

Grant,
it's basically just allows you to turn the respective blocks on and off.

The page layouts were tweaked (that's just hardcoded, no user-controlled reordering), aiming to place more "static" information in the left column, and the "dynamic" part - on the right, like that:

Overview:

Project Description	Open Polls
Issue Tracking	Latest News
Members	Latest forum messages

Home:

Latest News	Latest forum messages
Latest Projects	Open Polls

Hi Grant,

You can remove the "Latest Projects" by removing or commenting this part

<!--

<% if @projects.any? >
<div class="projects box">
<h3><=l(:label_project_latest)%></h3>
<ul>
<% for project in Projects Projects >
<li>
<= link_to h(project.name), :controller => 'projects', :action => 'show', :id => project > (<= format_time(project.created_on) >)
<= textilizable project.short_description, :project => project >
</li>
< end >
</ul>
</div>
< end >
<= call_hook(:view_welcome_index_right, :projects => Projects Projects) %>
</div>-->

in REDMINE_ROOT\app\views\welcome\index.rhtml

For adding "latest issues" i can't help you, i just found how to remove the latest projects :). Maybe some one who has more experience with ruby can help you with that.
