Redmine

Thank you, Andrew.
I use your issues_group plugin on trunk version. It works nice, but local_avatars call Internal error in my redmine.
Do you test it on Redmine 0.8.0.devel.2670 or subsequent?

There are 0.0.2 version, it works well on trunk and stable branches of Redmine.

thanx, for your quick replay.
I test 0.0.2 version and receive similar error.
Do you can assume wtf happens?
My plugins list:
Customer plugin
Redmine Issues Group plugin
Redmine My Widgets plugin

There are not modifications in redmine source code.

After adding

config.action_controller.session = { :session_key => "_myapp_session", :secret => "some secret phrase of at least 30 characters" }

on page http://hostname/users i had receive error

I think that in production environment It will work :)
I suppose, that the problem is within disabled classes caching in development environment, Rails reload classes but forget about reloading my plugin patches to them, restart server and reload error page, it will work only for first request.
There are related settings for environment (plugin should work with them):

config.cache_classes     = true
config.action_controller.perform_caching             = true

My problem had been solved. Thank you.

Can I talk to you in Russian? English language is good, but it isn't easy for me =).

I have another question.

Да, конечно

Hello Andrew,

First of all,thanks for sharing this plugin. It sounds very good. I say it sounds because it is not working for me, but I cant seem to find anyone with the same problem.

Right now, I am to the point where I click on save to send the avatar file (a jpg file in this case), and I get a successful message, but the avatar is not recorded.

I have checked the steps of the process, and I can see where the file is stored on the server (and it is there), but the attach_file operation doesn't seem to create the entry in the attachments table.
I tried different redmine modules that store data on that table (like documents, files, etc.) and they all work.

The only difference I see is the location of the file, but I don't believe that is the problem.
I also dont know why it doesn't report any issues when trying to create the entry on the table.

Any ideas?

Andrew, can you upload this plugin on GitHub? Thanks...

I have uploaded this plugin to GitHub - http://github.com/Ubik/redmine_local_avatars/tree/master

Thanks. Unfortunaly I get an error:

Please look at the post of Tim above. He describes the solution of that error.

Hi Andrew,

We've been using your avatar plugin here for a couple of days, and noticed that only administrators could view the avatars.

Turns out the require_admin filter was also run before sending the avatar to the browser.

This simple addition to users_controllers.rb in your plugin did the trick :

 before_filter :require_admin, :except => [:get_avatar] 

There might even be a clearer way to remove the filter, I'm not very fluent with rails

Thanks again!

I've noticed this too. I am not proficient at ruby so, could you tell me where exactly would this line of code go in users_controller.rb? Thanks.

There are only so many places to put the code. ;) I figured it out.

Please share the location for this:
before_filter :require_admin, :except => [:get_avatar]
I have the same issue but haven't gotten it right yet.

Thanks.

In file vendor/plugins/redmine_local_avatars/app/controllers/users_controller.rb

Insert the provided line at line 6, so it looks like :

class UsersController < ApplicationController

  before_filter :require_admin, :except => [:get_avatar]

  helper :attachments

Thank you very much, works like a charm.
BTW - http://www.gamedition.com/31/Avatar_Creator quick and easy avatar creation.

A minor point - For some reason the title of the tab is "label_avatar" (and the same name repeated underneath). Using v.0.0.2
How do I change it to say "Avatars" or whatever it's supposed to say?
thanks!

you're using a language which is noch english or russian. just go to the plugins config/locales dir and copy the en.yml to yourlang.yml and edit analog to the en.yml.

for german (de.yml) it worked for me :)

in r2887 Redmine migrate to Rails 2.3.4
the plugin are not compartible with it because http://afreshcup.com/2008/11/17/rails-2x-the-death-of-applicationrb/

thats why have an exception after update redmine
the error looks like this

$script/about RAILS_ENV='production'

I tried the plugin version 0.0.2 against redmine trunk (before rails 2.3.4 migration), and i get this when i start redmine with webrick :

Has anyone gotten this working for r3009+ ? I'm getting a 500 internal server error when I try to upload the avatars.
