Playing w/ Trunk -- Tweak Project Hierarchy Sort

Added by Chris Needs'ahint over 15 years ago

Hello All,

First, I must truly commend the Redmine project, as it is definitely one of the top open source projects I've ever used. I had been using trac, and I switched over when I couldn't use multiple projects. Redmine is working extremely well for me, and it was an easy installation & configuration process on dreamhost's shared hosting.

My goal is to tweak project hierarchy sorting, optimally sorting by amount of activity instead of creation date. Alternative sorting methods include: # of issues within the projects, # of users associated with the projects, and worst case flipping it to descending creation date. The PluginProjectScores could be useful as a sort method as well.

Thanks in advance for the help. Though I'm decently proficient with other languages and frameworks, I have barely touched Ruby. I poked around in trunk, and searched the interwebs. I'm considering hard coding into render_project_hierarchy() in projects_helper.rb, or creating a plugin.

Below are my specifications as per the sticky:
  • Ruby: ruby 1.8.5, rails 2.2.2, gems 1.3.1, using Passenger (mod_rails)
  • Redmine Ver: trunk
  • OS: windows; using cygwin :(
  • RDBMS: mysql 5.0.16
  • Ruby-Aware: not sure... defaulting to Webrick.

Thanks again,

Chris
