Plugin: Twitter-like status updates for projects
Added by Brian Terlson about 16 years ago
I think pretty much every small or agile team spends a lot of time asking teammates what they're doing, what they're thinking about doing, and etc. I know my team is among those. Twitter is great because it's an easy way to share small bits of information, but it's too public for a lot of uses. So, I've created a Redmine plugin that allows users to send little status updates about what they're up to.
You can find the plugin over at github: http://github.com/bterlson/redmine-status-updates/tree/master
I've attached a screenshot so you can get an idea of what I'm yammering about.
Now this plugin is, as far as I know, in a useable state. There are, however, lots of things I would like to get done in the future. A short list:
- More documentation, polish, and code robustness.
- Reference commits, tickets, and wiki pages.
- An API to facilitate external clients updating project status (eg. a command line tool - redmine-status project_name "About to get started on refactoring my work from last night")
- Status updates from email, etc.
- Pagination of status updates (currently just shows most recent 100).
But anyway, have fun! Feel free to fork or offer suggestions :)

Hey guys.
It looks like there's an incompatibility between Engines and Rails 2.2.2. Namely, email templates behave very strangely. In all cases, it expects action.erb and ignores the specific types. The consequence as far as I can tell is that we will be unable to serve multipart emails. I tried specifying the templates manually, it did not work. So, I've pushed a change that manually specifies the templates and it seems to work well.
If you want a quick fix, you could potentially rename the plaintext email templates to what it expects (realtime_notification.erb) and things should work, although you'll only be getting plaintext emails.
Anyway, let me know if this fixes the problem!
p.s. Are any other plugins that are sending multi-part emails working on trunk?

Oh also, in case anyone is curious, here's the bug causing the problems on lighthouse:

Yes. It works after rename. I prefer HTML notifications so I've renamed realtime_notification.text.html.rhtml

Glad to hear it worked for you! I should correct my post above. I was able to manually specify templates in order to achieve a multipart email. The only thing that doesn't work is automatically sending multipart emails based on the template names. If you want to be able to send multipart notifications, you can update to the latest version of the plugin.

I am having an issue with this plugin. I am new to ruby, rails, and redmine so please forgive any basic questions. I was able to install it just fine but I get 500 errors. I have tried to turn on debugging output in redmine but I must be doing it wrong. Can I get any help on fixing this?
Thanks, Pete.

Hello.
Hashtag tagging
If an update includes a word prefixed with a hash, then it will be tagged. Tagging updates is a quick and easy way to categories messages. The list of updates will then be able to be filtered by tags and the updates will appear in the Tag cloud.
I can't understand it , please give me an example .
Thanks

It's based on the Twitter model of loosely categorizing data: http://twitter.pbworks.com/Hashtags An example of the #redmine hashtag on Twitter.

Install problem - novice

Added by Paul paul almost 15 years ago
Hi,
I installed the plugin in the past, but it didn't work properly.
I then removed the folder from inside /vendor/plugins and also removed statuses and status_notification tables from inside redmine's postgres db.
The problem is, when I run rake now, it migrates the plugin, but does not recreate the tables inside the DB. How can I force it to do that?
Thanks!
Paul

Fixed. Needed to delete 2 rows from another table in postgres and rename the plugin folder to 'redmine_status'.

The only recent changes are:
- a routine weekly update of the FreeBSD system on which RM is installed
- hostname switched to be not fully qualified (i.e., myServer instead of myServer.com)

Brian Wilson Terlson - so you wrote that you got issue/wiki/revision linking working? Could you tell us if this is added at the github version and how to use it?
#hash links to a tag name and not to an issue.
I've installed the plugin on 1.1.2.stable and it seems to work fine (I haven't turned notifications on)
Ah and I want to say that this is an awesome plugin and someone should fork it and improve it :)!
