Redmine

You are overestimate my skills man =) Im able only to install package from bitnamy =)

you need a paid support then :)

plugins are in {redmine install path}/vendor/plugins
remove rfpdf dir, and extract there the one from the link above, rename it to rfpdf
open {redmine install path}/lib/redmine/export/pdf.rb in text editor and do changes according to colors in patch

no warranties

well done

see comments: http://frolz.ya.ru/replies.xml?item_no=1135

That's the first thing I've done, but it not works :(

I've just tested it on WinXP Rus with r2757. Works fine with the upper pdf.rb.patch and the following patch (from frolz.ya.ru) applied to vendor/plugins/rfpdf/lib/tcpdf.rb.

Please report your experiences. If everything goes fine, we may reaise a request to include that into source tree. More feedbacks are welcome.

Yes, it works!!!!
Thank you very much for solving the proplem.
tcpdf.rb.patch was helpful for my problem.

So sequence for me to fix this bug is:
1. http://frolz.ya.ru/replies.xml?item_no=1135
2. tcpdf.rb.patch

I tried to install the last version of redmine (Rev. 3606). The problem with the russian letters in pdf still exists. Before I fixed it in version 0.8. Is it possible to fix the error forever in the source repository?

Ican tell you more.
Russian language don't work even in redmine, running on redmine.org
http://www.redmine.org/issues/61.pdf

Same issue, using latin characters.

Tried to follow instructions from http://frolz.ya.ru/replies.xml?item_no=1135 on my Redmine 1.0.1 server.
The strings specified are now all in the same file: redmine\lib\redmine\export\pdf.rb

If didn't work!
To everyone who has Russian language text generated without problems: if you will upgrade to 1.0+ version, please post how you patched it.

Ooops, I just didn't update tcpdf.rb
After updating, it works! I believe these two patches should be applied to the standard distribution.

In version 1.1.0 this method does not help.
who knows how to beat this problem?

All works fine, you need additionally patch {REDMINE}/lib/redmine/helpers/gantt.rb - pdf.AliasNbPages to pdf.alias_nb_pages

I use 1.1.0 and a have a some error in ruby after applying the patch

I use 1.1.0.
It worked with 1.0.4 and then stopped with 1.1.0. Then I did what Sergey Kritsky proposed and it restored working again.

Here you may see the original instructions how to do it, but prior 1.1.x : http://groups.google.com/group/redmine2ru/browse_thread/thread/1fa3f557643472bb

To get current with 1.1.x you have to make one more change:

Edit redmine\lib\redmine\helpers\gantt.rb (near line 515)
Change 'pdf.AliasNbPages ' to 'pdf.alias_nb_pages'
Important note: This change has to be done in Redmine 1.1.x+

Thanks Ivan. Now it works for me. However, it started working even before I finished changing all the files. And it started to work only when I completely replaced the rows instead of commenting them.

Now, after running redmine I get the following message:
/usr/local/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-2.3.5/lib/action_controller/mime_type.rb:80: warning: already initialized constant PDF
with which it can be connected and how it may affect the operation?

I remember I have seen this message (or similar one) about 'already initialized constant PDF' but I cannot recall where and when I have seen it.
