Redmine

So I googled and googled and came up with Nil for BASH syntax highlighting using the coderay engine in Redmine. So I did what any true Sys Admin would do, I dove into the code and figured out how to add it myself. I didn't get a chance to add in command option highlighting though, and that is something I would like to add eventually.

So for starters I just copied the sql.rb config and modified it to suit my needs for BASH. It actually came out fairly nice.

So I will refer to your redmine installation as $RedmineDocumentRoot. In my case it is /var/www/redmine/. So if you want to add in BASH syntax highlighting, here is what you need to do (And I did this on Linux, so you Windows guys will need to adapt and figure out the path for all of this).

1.

cd $RedmineDocumentRoot/vendor/gems/coderay-<version>/lib/coderay/scanners/

2. Create a file named bash.rb and add the following contents (and no, I am not using the "code" tag for this to avoid adding line numbers so YOU can literally just copy and paste the text without having to delete the line numbers).

module CodeRay module Scanners

cd $RedmineDocumentRoot/vendor/gems/coderay-<version>/lib/coderay/helpers/

4. Edit file_types.rb. You are looking for the section that looks like this

    TypeFromExt = {
      'c'        => :c,
      'cfc'      => :xml,
      'cfm'      => :xml,
      'clj'      => :clojure,
      'css'      => :css,
      'diff'     => :diff,
      'dpr'      => :delphi,
      'gemspec'  => :ruby,
      ...

and you want to add

      'bash'        => :bash,

So in the end it should look like this

    TypeFromExt = {
      'bash'        => :bash,
      'c'        => :c,
      'cfc'      => :xml,
      'cfm'      => :xml,
      'clj'      => :clojure,
      'css'      => :css,
      'diff'     => :diff,
      'dpr'      => :delphi,
      'gemspec'  => :ruby,
      ...

5. Restart your web server (in my case it was apache and I could run

/etc/init.d/httpd restart

That's it! Afterwards I had a really really nice syntax highlighting for BASH. Attached is a screenshot of the BASH syntax highlighting in action.

Cheers, Hope you all enjoy this. And if anyone cares to add on to this, definitely do so and upload you changes here so that we all can relish in the changes.
