Configuración General¶

Título de la aplicación¶

Título que aparece en la cabecera de la aplicación. Este es el enlace justo debajo de la barra de título con « Home/My page/Projects/Help» cuando esta logeado.

Texto de Bienvenida¶

Texto mostrado en la página principal de Redmine. Este texto puede contener etiquetas HTML.

Attachment max. size¶

Maximum size of uploaded files (in kibi-bytes). Default: 5120 (i.e. 5 mebi-bytes )

Objects per page options¶

Here you can configure the fixed values which users can select for the amount of objects (issues, commits etc.) which are displayed per page.

Default: 25, 50, 100

Days displayed on project activity¶

The initial (and recurring while browsing) amount of days of which the project(s)-activity is shown in the activity-tab.

Host name and path¶

Host name and path of your redmine server. This name is used to write URL in emails sent to users. i.e.: the hostname of this precise redmine is redmine.org.

Protocol¶

Protocol used to generate links in email notifications. Default: http

Links in email are "guessed", but can't determine whether you're using an unsecure web server (http) or a secure one (https -> http over SSL).

Text formatting¶

Formatting method applied to the "description" fields of the issues, news, documents...

Cache formatted text (1.0)¶

Text formatting tranforms raw text to HTML and runs each time a formatted text is sent to the browser (eg. issue description, wiki page...). This process can be slow on large texts.

This setting lets you enable caching of formatted text. Cached text is stored in a cache store that can be configured with config.action_controller.cache_store. By default, this cache store is MemoryStore.

If you need to enable caching, it's highly recommended that you configure the cache to use another cache store like MemCacheStore or FileStore if memory is a concern.

You can read more about cache stores in the Rails guides:
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/caching_with_rails.html#cache-stores

Wiki history compression¶

Lets you activate compression for wiki history storage (reduces database size). Default: disabled

Feed content limit¶

Maximum number of records contained in RSS feeds. Default: 15

Max size of text files displayed inline KB¶

It provides a way to limit the maximum size of text files which are display inline.

Max number of diff lines displayed¶

It provides a way to limit the maximum number of diff lines which are displayed by Redmine.

Display¶

Theme¶

This option lets you choose a custom theme.
Redmine is shipped with two additional themes besides the default theme:

• alternate, which mainly provides issue list colorization based on issues priority.
• classic, which is derived from the Redmine 0.5.1 design and brings a classic look.

Screenshot of the alternate theme:

Themes are located in public/themes/. You can read more about Themes.

Default language¶

The default language is selected when the application could not determine the user's browser language. The default language is also used when sending email to multiple users. Default: English

Date format¶

Lets you choose how dates are displayed:

• Based on user's language: dates will be displayed specifically for each user, according to the format defined for its language
• Other formats: dates will always be displayed using the specified format

Default: Based on user's language

Time format¶

Lets you choose how times are displayed:

• Based on user's language: times will be displayed specifically for each user, according to the format defined for its language
• Other formats: times will always be displayed using the specified format

Default: Based on user's language

Users display format¶

Lets you choose how usernames are displayed. The following combinations are provided:

• Firstname
• Firstname Surname
• Surname Firstname
• Surname, Firstname
• Username

Use Gravatar user icons¶

If enabled, users Gravatars (globally recognized avatar) will be displayed in several places.

Default Gravatar image¶

The image to use for users who don't have a Gravatar.

Authentication¶

Authentication required¶

If this option is checked, no page of the application is accessible to anonymous users. Users must sign to access the application. Default: No

Autologin¶

This option let users use the auto-login feature. Default: Disabled

Self-registration¶

This option lets you enable/disable new users self registration:

• disabled: users are not allowed to register
• account activation by email: new users receive an email containing a link used to activate their accounts (users must provide a valid email address).
• manual account activation (default): new users' accounts are created but need administrator approval. Administrators receive an email informing them that an account is pending their approval.
• automatic account activation: new users can log in as soon as they have registered.

Minimum password length¶

Let's the admin decide on the minimum length of the chosen passwords.

Default: 4

Lost password¶

If this option is checked, lost password functionality is available. Default: Yes

Allow OpenID login and registration¶

Provides the admin a way to disable OpenID logins and registrations.
Note that the setting is immutable as long as the dependency for the feature (an installed copy of the ruby-openid gem) is not met. You can simply install it using gem install ruby-openid.

Projects¶

New projects are public by default¶

The default state of newly created projects. The project can still be made non-public while creating new project or after the creation of the project.

Generate sequential project identifiers¶

This setting will let Redmine propose sequential project identifiers for you. This can still be manually changed only while creating the project, not afterward.

Role given to a non-admin user who creates a project¶

Defines which role is given by default to a non-admin user who creates a project (this only applies when you have configured Redmine permissions in such a way that non-admin users are actually privileged to create projects).

Issue tracking¶

Allow cross-project issue relations¶

If set to true, relations between issues from different projects can be created. Default: No

Display subprojects issues on main projects by default¶

If set to true, subprojects issues will be displayed by default on the issue list, calendar and gantt of the main projects (Since r1198). Default: Yes

Calculate the issue done ratio¶

Defines how the Issue Done Percentage is set.

• Use the issue field (default): Users can manually set % done.
• Use the issue status: Each issue status can be assigned a percentage. This enables the "% Done" option for issues and the "Update issue done ratios" command in the issue statuses overview.

Issues export limit¶

Maximum number of issues contained in CSV and PDF exports. Default: 500

Default columns displayed on the issue list¶

This setting lets you define which columns are displayed on the issue lists by default.
Only custom fields that are marked as 'For all projects' can be selected here.

Email notifications¶

Emission mail address¶

Email address used in the "From" field of messages sent to users.

Blind carbon copy recipients (bcc)¶

If set to true, email notification will be sent as Blind carbon copy. Default: Yes

Plain text mail¶

If set to true, emails are sent in plain text only (no HTML).

Emails footer¶

Here you can enter some text that will be appended to the emails sent by the application.

Incoming emails¶

See for detailed instructions about these settings RedmineReceivingEmails.

Truncate emails after one of these lines¶

These setting can be used to remove signatures from incoming emails.

Enable WS for incoming emails¶

Redmine can be configured to allow issue creation or comments via email. In order to use that feature, you have to enable the API that receives emails. That is where this setting is for. Default: Off

API key¶

Within this setting you can enter a secret key used for the issue creation or comments via email feature.

Repositories¶

Autofetch commits¶

If this option is activated, the application automatically retrieves the new revisions when a user consults the repository.

Default: Yes

You can disable this option and automate the call to Repository#fetch_changesets using cron to regularly retrieve the revisions for all of the repositories in the background.
Example:

ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production

You can also call this task from your repository in a post-commit or post-receive hook, so that changesets are fetched after each commit.
Here is a tutorial for doing so with git: http://finalcog.com/remine-git-post-receive

Enable WS for repository management¶

This option should be activated only if you installed the script for automatic SVN repository creation. Default: No

Enabled SCM¶

Here you can (de)select the SCM-systems Redmine should "provide" to the individual projects. This setting is useful if you only support several SCM-systems (e.g. only Git or only SVN).

Repositories encodings¶

This option lets you specify preferred encodings for repository files (multiple values allowed, comma separated). These encodings are used to convert files content and diff to UTF-8 so that they're properly displayed in the browser.
When entering multiple encodings, the first valid encoding regarding the file content is used.

For French users, this option can be for example set to:

UTF-8, ISO 8859-15, CP1252

For Japanese users:

ISO-2022-JP, EUC-JP, UTF-8, SHIF_JIS, WINDOWS-31J

Maximum number of revisions displayed on file log¶

It provides a way to limit the amount of revisions which are retrieved from the SCM for a certain, browsed path.

Referencing issues in commit messages¶

When fetched from the repositories, commit messages are scanned for referenced or fixed issue IDs.
These options lets you define keywords that can be used in commit message to reference or fix issues automatically, and the status to apply to fixed issues.

Default keywords are:

• for referencing issues: refs, references, IssueID
• for fixing issues: fixes, closes

There's no default status defined for fixed issue. You'll have to specify it if you want to enable auto closure of issues.
If you want to reference issues without using keywords, enter a single star: * in the Referencing keywords (Administration/Repository) setting. In this case, any issue ID found in the message will be linked to the changeset.

Example of a working commit message using default keywords:

This commit refs #1, #2 and fixes #3

This message would reference issues 1 and 2 and automatically fix issue 3.
After a keyword issue IDs can be separated with a space, a comma or &.
