How to change landing page via plugin in Redmine 3.2.3 ?

Added by Lennart Nordgreen over 8 years ago

Hi there.

First om all I am not a Ruby (on Rails) guru so I apologizes in advance for may lack of wisdom in this realm.

Environment¶

RHEL 7

ruby -v
ruby 2.1.6p336 (2015-04-13 revision 50298) [x86_64-linux]

gem -v
2.2.3

passenger -v
Phusion Passenger 5.0.30

rails -v
Rails 4.2.5.2

httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux)
Server built:   Jul 12 2016 05:02:54

The problem¶

Prior to Redmine version 3.2.3 I've used this to change the landing page but this doesn't work anymore.
Can someone shed some light on how to do this i 3.x?

init.rb

RedmineApp::Application.routes.prepend do
  scope '/home' do
    resources :welcome
  end
  match '/', :to => 'issues#index', :as => 'home', :via => [:get]
  match '/home', :to => 'welcome#index', :via => [:get] 
 #root :to => 'issues#index', :via => :get, :as => 'home'
end

Redmine::MenuManager.map :top_menu do |menu|
  menu.push 'Home', "/home", { :first => true, :caption => 'Hjem'}
end

Error message as follows.


ArgumentError: Invalid route name, already in use: 'home' 
You may have defined two routes with the same name using the `:as` option, or you may be overriding a route already defined by a resource with the same naming. For the latter, you can restrict the routes created with `resources` as explained here: 
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/routing.html#restricting-the-routes-created

Also, only specifying -> root :to => 'issues#index', :via => :get, :as => 'home' doesn't work either.

RedmineApp::Application.routes.prepend do
 root :to => 'issues#index', :via => :get, :as => 'home'
end

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hello!
I’m interested this feature to overwrite routing via plugin, thanks for your posting :)

BTW, in my local Redmine, which version is Redmine 3.3.0, I could change landing page with this code:

  RedmineApp::Application.routes.prepend do
    scope '/home' do
      resources :welcome
    end
    match '/', :to => 'issues#index', :via => [:get]
  end

  Redmine::MenuManager.map :top_menu do |menu|
    menu.push 'Home', "/home", { :first => true, :caption => 'Hjem'}
  end

How about?

Yes that works but it also makes the default Home page (which I like to bind to /home) unavailable.

The problem is if I use as => home or to => welcome#index it fails since these routes are already in use.
Strange you can't add your own links to whatever resource you'd like, or it is possible but I don't know how to do it.

Managed to do a workaround by using redmine_my_page plugin so the users can choose them selves which start page to use.
