Redmine

Same here, can't redefine root path in plugin to my controller on redmine 2.x. On 1.x it works.

Hi

I confirm this problem, with redmine 2.x It's impossible to change route on plugi.
Actually, i find a solution via patch behaviour (http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Plugin_Internals)

Not very simply

For instance, I want to override the home link to go to projects. I can hack redmine/config/routes.rb to have
root :to => 'projects#index', :as => 'home'
and that works.

I did found that hack too, but if I hack routes.rb this way, when I try to access a project from the projects menu, I got an "500 internal server error".
Don't you ?

Concerning my last comment, when I hack the routes.rb file the way Bob Bottle did, when I click on an evolution id/name or incident id/name, I got :

ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches {:controller=>"welcome"}):
app/views/issues/_edit.html.erb:34:in `block in app_views_issues_edit_html_erb___1214659690394619739_17271917100'

app/controllers/issues_controller.rb:118:in `block (2 levels) in show'
app/controllers/issues_controller.rb:115:in `show'

I don't understand why... Is there something I missed ?

Resolved.
Modifying the home page implies adding a new line below the root's home :

  root :to => 'projects#index', :as => 'home'
 #add this new line :
  match '/', :to => 'welcome#index', :as => 'home'

Have same problem. Redmine 2.2.3.dev and 2.1.6 stable. This hack

root :to => 'projects#index', :as => 'home'
 #add this new line :
  match '/', :to => 'welcome#index', :as => 'home'

doesn't works too. How i can fix it?

Actually there's a prepend method in ActionDispatch::Routing::RouteSet (found it thanks to this stackoverflow question).

It doesn't work in a plugin's config/routes.rb because it is loaded after the initialization process, when first routes are already defined. But if you leave it in your init.rb file, it's evaluated soon enough, and it works. Example: [...]

Maybe you'll have to also redefine welcome#index action so that url_for() calls in Redmine core work, but I don't know if this is necessary..

I close this issue as I think it answers the initial question, feel free to reopen if not.

i've tried solution you suggested, but it doesn't solve problem. Root path still leads to welcome controller. 'rake routes' says that's all fine - my custom route now on top, but problem still there. Any ideas?

No idea, it worked for me. As you imagine I wasn't sure it would work so I put this code in a plugin and rebooted my redmine instance, then it worked. Maybe it depends on the version of Rails, I tried with Redmine 2.3.1 (Rails 3.2.13), older versions of Redmine may behave differently.

it's really strange, i use same conf: ruby 1.9.3, redmine 2.3.1 stable, rails 3.2.13

I found that this is fixed by changing the following in routes.rb:

From:

  Dir.glob File.expand_path("plugins/*", Rails.root) do |plugin_dir|
    file = File.join(plugin_dir, "config/routes.rb")

To:

  Dir.glob File.join(File.expand_path("plugins", Rails.root), "*") do |plugin_dir|
    file = File.join(plugin_dir, "config", "routes.rb")
