Redmine

After modifying a project overview in settings I get redirected back to overview page but it's empty. This settings doesn't store. I somehow managed to save them for one project and it still shows overview correctly but I can't reproduce it.

I have a redmine 0.9.4 installed on http://example.com/redmine, and site root folder is /var/www/example.com. Apache logs accesses to /var/www/example.com/plugin_assets with referer http://example.com/redmine/projects/test-project/settings, and that file obviously doesn't exist because plugin assets are in RAILS_ROOT/redmine/public/plugin_assets, if locally, or http://example.com/redmine/plugin_assets, if URL-qualified.

I think, somewhere there is an error in mixing local path with url-ones.

I have the same issue here. The redmine I am using is Redmine 0.9.4.devel.3768 (MySQL).
I have one root project, along with several subprojects.
For the root project the change I made in the project overview setting was saved, but for subprojects what I have changed
in the overview setting page didn't apply. If I clicked the overview setting page after I made some changes, everything is
still unchecked.
Any solutions? thanks a lot!

Same problem here!
Btw. in which file and folder do i have to put transaltions for "edit_overview_page"?

Created a ticket...
http://www.redmine.org/issues/5819

We've posted an update of this plugin to its wiki page . Should fix the issue with subprojects, and several other issues with storing pages' settings. Please check.

Can migrate to new version. Created a ticket Issue #7669, because unsure if this isn't a redmine bug

Victor, can please help out?

We have a püroblem with migrating a plugin called "redmine-blocks".
We removed old folder in /redmine/vendor/plugins and created new one.
Then we called "rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production" in /redmine folder a no database migration took place.

Hm, really not sure what's the reason of your problem. I don't consider insufficient DB permissions.
From your message I understand that you "removed old folder in /redmine/vendor/plugins and created new one" - is it right? Potentially you may have left the old version of the db tables, and the new plugins; however this does not explain the Table 'redmine.overview_blocks' doesn't exist error.

The correct "complete plugin removal" sequence would be:

rake db:migrate:plugin NAME=%plugin_name% VERSION=0 RAILS_ENV="production" 
ruby script/plugin remove %plugin_name%

And then you add the new plugin and do a rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production, maybe even just for one plugin.

rake db:migrate:plugin NAME=redmine_blocks VERSION=0 RAILS_ENV="production"

(in /usr/local/lib/redmine-git)

I checked twice direct on my redmine mysal databse:
In my db there is no table "overview_blocks" and also no table "home_blocks" existing.

Is there any metadata in the db which is checked if a plugin "version" meant already to be installed?
Maybe i just can raise the version number in init.rb to 0.0.3 to make the migration script execute?
I am waiting so long for this plugins to be fixed, and now i can't get i run grmpf!
Would be great if you further help me out.

I've just installed this Blocks Layout plugin to work with the Last Messages, and the plugin it self works just fine (congratulations, brillant and elegant), but it broke the blocks disposition everywehre...

On Redmine homepage, I used to have the Welcome message on the left, and the lastest News and Projects on the right... They all go to the left now, like a pile, and half the window is plain white (blank)

On MyPage it has reseted the blocks setting of every non-admin user (easy to reconfig adding the blocks again and moving them around)

On ProjectOverview, again, the blocks are piled on the left (only the forum last messages are in the right, alone)

On the homepage and overview I cannot move the blocks around with the mouse (of course).

Is there an easy fix for that? Must I hardcode something on my Redmine? Must I open a ticket for that?

I am using Redmine 1.1.2.devel.5317 (MySQL), Blocks Layout Plugin 0.0.2, and Redmine last forum messages plugin 0.0.2

Thanks for everything

Hi,
just like the last message plugin, i've translated the few messages for this plugin in French.

If anyone needs it.

I think I should quote my answer to Fabio here, just in case anyone else needs that, so:

...
the placement of the boxes on the views was matching our immediate needs, so it was made fixed, with no control of ordering/placement of blocks from UI or elsewhere. I agree that's a fair place for enhancement.
But currently we're somewhat short on resources, so it would be unfair of me to promise any updates to these plugins soon.

Right now you may try changing the code displaying the blocks:
- go to your redmine_home/vendors/plugins/redmine_blocks/lib;
- pick the appropriate file for the block needing change (so for Projects and News blocks you'd select respectively projects_show_hooks.rb and news_show_hooks.rb);
- in that file, change the command displaying the block on Project Overview or on Welcome Page to match your needs. Possible pairs are view_projects_show_right / view_projects_show_left and view_welcome_index_right / view_welcome_index_right, respectively.
- (don't forget to restart apache/mongrel/whatever you use, to make it pick the changes made).

As far as I know, there's no easy way to change the order of blocks in columns.

- Forked this plugin on github and made i 1.4 compatible.
- Fixed two small bugs
- added full localization for germn and english

Thanks for making this 1.4 compatible!
