h2. Creating a new Plugin

Open up a command prompt and "cd" to your redmine directory, then execute the following command:

  % ruby script/generate redmine_plugin pools

The plugin structure is created in @vendor/plugins/redmine_pools@:

<pre>

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/app/controllers

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/app/helpers

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/app/models

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/app/views

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/db/migrate

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/lib/tasks

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/assets/images

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/assets/javascripts

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/assets/stylesheets

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/lang

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/README

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/init.rb

      create  vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/lang/en.yml

</pre>

Edit @vendor/plugins/redmine_pools/init.rb@ too adjust plugin information (name, author, description and version).

For example:

<pre><code class="ruby">

require 'redmine'

Redmine::Plugin.register :redmine_pools do

  name 'Pools plugin'

  author 'John Smith'

  description 'A plugin for managing pools'

  version '0.0.1'

end

</code></pre>

Then start the application and point your browser to http://localhost:3000/admin/info.

After logging in, you should see your new plugin in the plugins list:
