Redmine

Looks pretty useful, I'll forward it onto my friends who have OSX. I'm curious, how are you adding the data to Redmine? Are you hooking into the Rails runner?

It accessed the database directly and optionally via a built-in SSH Tunnel.

Hi,

I've posted an update of TimeToTicket, Snapshot 16. TimeToTicket is the OSX Desktop Time Logging application working exclusively together with Redmine. The new release is much more stable. It is tested with Redmine 6.4 and 7.2. I've also updated the community pages, now containing more documentation, public access to the subversion repository and of course the all features Redmine gives us.

Looks very nice :-)

Hi Pim,

I like your TimeToTicket application because it brings redmine on my mac desktop - great work!

But anyhow - I think external redmine-Clients should use an fully integrated Redmine-REST- or -Webservice-Interface and not bypassing redmines rights management by sending direct SQL commands.. sorry. but that's ugly. Don't get me wrong. Your application is great but the way it communicates with redmine is really old-fashioned and unsecure :(

Unfortunately my rails-skills aren't good enough to implement a solid webservice-interface. But Redmine needs this also for other topics (Mylyn-Connector, Customers posting tickets from a website,...):

• #297
• #568
• #725
• #784

M Pic: Have you ever thought about building a webservice/REST-Interface as Backend for your Fat-Client?

@Jean-Philippe:

• How much time would it cost to implement a solid REST-Interface (full project-, ticket- and timetracking-control + rights management)?
• How can we push that?
• Do you need money for implementing it?
• Is there somebody willing to implement it?

Best,
Martin

I totally agree with you that the direct database calls are extremely ugly. I forgive myself because I primarly developed this for our own small company. I will surely implement a RESTful webservice interface but I don't want to use SOAP or XMLRPC at this moment. I'm waiting for the moment that ActiveResources will be available in the RubyCocoa framework. As soon as this happens I will remove this ugly workaround.

Regards,
Pim

Hey Pim,

thanks for your fast answer! Now, I can fully understand why you implemented TimeToTicket this way - even if we had a webservice interface on the redmine-side you couldn't have implemented it on the RubyCocoa-side.. :(

Keep on the great work on TimeToTicket!

Btw: What do you thing how time consuming it would be to implement a Webservice-Interface for Redmine (full project-, ticket- and timetracking-control + rights management)? 2-3 work days?

Cheers,
Martin

I just installed TimeToTicket on Snow Leopard and all of the preference screens are blank. Is this a known issue? Is it a Snow Leopard only issue?

I am having the same issue. Any plans to fix this?

Yes, I will have a look at it asap. I'm going to fix it. Keep watching this thread.

Great, thanks for your prompt reply. I really look forward to using this.

Any luck with being able to fix this?

Pim,
Have you been able to figure this issue out?

TimeToTicket will not work on Snow Leopard. Parts of the software (RubyCocoa) are not supported anymore. I'm starting a rewrite but I can't give a planning unfortunately.
