Feature #13244
openRestrict log time for old days
0%
Description
For example any user have to log his spent time today or tomorrow.
If he try to log time for period more than yesterday - it should be not possible.
There are kind of users that sometimes log their time for period weeks ago and this is bad.
Is there any suggestion how to prevent such things.

We need it the other way round and have to be able to log time for weeks ago...
It would need to be configurable.

+1 Good idea restricting log time. But I would restrict only for closed issues: #13596

I have noted at #3322#note-11 because this issue is closed as duplicate.

Why is this considered a duplicate ? This is a totally legitimate and self-standing use case: for some projects, I want to have a strict discipline in regards with spent time logging. So I want to be sure that the users on this project are allowed to log time ONLY for today AND X working days before (where X most probably equals to 1)
Does anyone know of a plugin that would allow for such functionality? Or might it be included in Redmine itself ?

Agree.

At least current patch allow this for all projects.
There might be some general system wide setting for this and dedicated per each project setting.

any chances this will be merged into redmine [soon] ?
Updated by Kirill Marchuk over 6 years ago
hello, anyone ? does Redmine have a community ?
Updated by Kirill Marchuk over 6 years ago
pavel ochman, may be you can change "resolution" for this issue ?
Updated by Kirill Marchuk over 6 years ago
is there anyone alive here ? why are patches ignored ? Man spent his time and effort into it, he deserves at least a reaction !!!
Updated by Kirill Marchuk over 6 years ago
well, I've seen the patch finally ))
this is NOT something that's possible to merge into upstream. just a couple of hard-coded validation checks.
Proper implementation would require a per-project setting of:- is time logging restricted for this project at all
- how many days in the past are allowed to log time on (0 is minimum, which means you can only log time on today)
if this sounds bad, please leave your comments

If anyone is interested a coworker made this plugin: https://github.com/cerxal/estatisticas
It does a lot of things, but it includes a field called Numero máximo de dias sin incurrir horas = Maximum number of days to log spent time so users can only log time X days ago, if you try to log X+1 days ago it will raise an error.
We are using it in 3.4.4 (also in 3.3.1). Don't know if it will work in other versions.
Maybe you can use part of the source code to do your own dedicate plugin.

Thanks you for information.
Do you know if there an option to exclude certain users from that restriction?

No, it applies to all users on all projects.

We would like to have this functionality as well. IO agree with Kirill and Pavel. Important feature.
We have the same problem In our use case. Users should log their time max 1-3 days back butthey do it just to fiil the time. I'd like to restrict it. If they do not log the time properly, they should have a problem which can solve only someone with higher privilegy.

- File issue_13244.patch issue_13244.patch added
I have created a patch based on the master git branch for this feature. This patch allows
1. Global configuration in the "Time Tracking" tab in the settings that allows setting how many days in the past time logs can be added. Default is 999 days
2. Once the configuration is set, the date of the time log cannot be older than x days in the past. x is the value configured in the above setting.
Patch attached.

Hi there.
Your path works great however I didn't make any changes in app/controllers/issues_controller.rb. Can you describe what is the purpose of that changes?
Do you know how to implement changes so that to add setting to choose users who is excluded from past time log restriction?
For now I have to use this line with hardcoded users IDs:
errors.add :spent_on, :invalid if \
(days_diff.to_i > Setting.timelog_max_days_before.to_i) && \
([10,20,30,110].exclude? User.current.id)
Updated by Some Proton almost 3 years ago
i use
errors.add :spent_on, "is too early" if (spent_on < Date.today - 5.day) end
successfully, but like to restrict time logs to the current month, u should not be able to log time in any other month except the current month. so u can only log the time in march, as soon as its 1st of march. im no ruby or redmine coder, can someone help me with this?
