Redmine

Hello,

Assuming you are trying to save this field:

Redmine uses a system called SafeAttributes to assign input to object properties.
See this example.
Given that you added the field reward_points to the issues table, I suggest you simply add reward_points to the safe_attributes.
According to #6000, you should be able to do:

Issue.safe_attributes 'reward_points'

After the attribute is assigned, you can use before_save or after_save callbacks to run custom logic.

If you just want to get the value in the controller:

You can use params in controller_issues_new_before_save and controller_issues_edit_before_save
See the list of hooks

Cheers,

hello,
thanks for your reply. i think i need much guidance, do you mind?

i have add the reward point field to issues table. i have look at your example (issue.rb line 430), do you mean i add reward_points to safe_attributes in issue.rb by executing the code Issue.safe_attributes 'reward_points' method call? where i should place that call/code?

I didn't test but that's what I would try:

init.rb

require 'redmine'

Rails.configuration.to_prepare do
  Issue.safe_attributes 'reward_points'
end

Redmine::Plugin.register :my_plugin do
  name '...'
  author '...'
  url '...'
  author_url '...'
  description '...'
  version '0.0.1'

end

If that would not work, I'd try to patch the Issue class.
Let me know if that works please.

i've tried, and i got 500 error message when i submit new issue. solved
could you tell me what steps i must doing after database migration (adding reward points) and edit init.rb file?
any example before_save or after_save callback code for safe attribute ?

To my understanding, you should only add the safe_attribute for it to be saved automatically for creation/edition.

The name attribute of your html input field is issue[reward_points], right?
Do you have the complete code available somewhere?

sorry for late update
your sugest about to configure only safe_attribute was right.
it works! big thanks

the screenshot

and for html view code, im following other's plugin code.
i add a condition so any users except the issue author can't change the field value

one question if you dont mind,
preface, im creating a gamification plugin for redmine. i add rewarding, purchasing rewards, leaderboard, and badges feature.
im thinking to modify he issue status dropdown list, so it will have same rule like the reward point field (any users except the issue author can't change issue status to closed). do you think its possible?

im thinking to hide the closes option from issue status drop-down list if current user isn't the issue author

why i wanted to hide that closed option because after the issue status changed to closed, my plugin will give the reward point to assignee (i set a hook after save). if any user can change issue status to closed multiple times, especially assignee, he will receive the reward points multiple times for the same task/issue. which is not what i wants.

I suggest you better rely on the native Workflow feature for that.

ok, thanks for the suggestion. i'll search for other alternatives for that issue
