Feature #3640
closed
Added by Anonymous over 15 years ago.
Updated almost 11 years ago.
Description
The same as archiving a project, except it isn't hidden.
This allows you to effectively mark a project as complete or finished, while still allowing users to download the files, browse the wiki and repository, etc.
Basically, the project becomes read-only.
I think this is needed because a project doesn't simply become obsolete and useless just because development has "officially" stopped, as archiving implies by hiding it. People may still want to use the software or even fork the project and continue where you left off.

This would be really nice.

Could be done as workaround by removing all write rights for roles for users in that project
- Assignee set to Jean-Philippe Lang
- Target version set to 2.1.0
- Status changed from New to Closed
- Resolution set to Fixed
New permission added "Close/reopen project" to allow non admin users to close their projects. Once closed, a project is read-only and can be reopened.
Thanks Jean-Philippe. Although I personally don't need this feature much any more, I know that it is very handy for other roles/processes I have used in the past.
Thumbs up!
And: How can I actually close a project now? I don't find any button on any screen ... thanks for any help!

Thanks, that's right! And it worked after we updated the show.html.erb of the projects accordion plugin we used. That plugin wasn't properly updated to show the close link.

Could you share how to update the show.html.erb? I just installed projects accordion and have lost the close button link.
Thanks!
Never mind - I just had to copy the close project section from apps\redmine\htdocs\app\views\projects\show.html.erb into the corresponding location in apps\redmine\htdocs\plugins\redmine_projects_accordion\app\views\projects\show.html.erb. But many thanks for the pointer!
