Plugin development

Added by André Pfeiffer almost 10 years ago

Hello,

I'm fairly new to ruby and rails (aka: this will be my first development on this language and framework) and I would like to develop a plugin to add workflow management capability to redmine. So far I have read a lot about redmine, ruby and rails and I understand the basic structure the framework uses (and the gems that I will need to use) but I have been unable to find out how to integrate datas from redmine to the plugin. For example: I would like to access all existing tickets in a project so I can order it... How can I access such data from the plugin perspective?

Gratefully,

Pfeiffer.

Thank you very much.

I have installed the plugin and so far its not what I wanted to develop (wich makes me happy, please no one develop it yet lol). From what I have seen this is not a graphical workflow (BPMn like) but only a sequence automation. (please, do tell-me if I have been using the plugin wrongly)
What I want to achieve is something more like this:

about the issue list I would like something like this:

http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Rest_Issues

but I dont want to get it on xml nor json. Is there any plain/raw data format?
if there are none, then I guess I will have to work with one of those (most likely with xml).

Anyway, I'm going to give a go on the source code you sent to see what have been done and how.

Thank you again for the help.
