Simplify redmine interface

Redmine Simple Plugin

This plugin adds a simple issue form to Redmine. It replaces a standard Select control with Select2 (in the Assignee and Watchers fields), which allows you to search assignees and watchers by name, letters in name and surname, email or login. The plugin also simplifies the process of adding a new member to a project, which can be done directly when selecting an assignee.

Compatibility

This plugin version is compatible only with Redmine 2.1.x and later.

Installation

This plugin requires Redmine Select2 Plugin to be installed.

1. To install the plugins

   • Download the .ZIP archives, extract files and copy the plugin directories into #{REDMINE_ROOT}/plugins.

   Or

   • Change you current directory to your Redmine root directory:

       cd {REDMINE_ROOT}
     

     Copy the plugins from GitHub using the following commands:

       git clone https://github.com/Undev/redmine__select2.git plugins/redmine__select2
       git clone https://github.com/Undev/redmine_simple.git plugins/redmine_simple
     

2. Install the required gems using the command:

    bundle install  
   

   • In case of bundle install errors, remove the Gemfile.lock file, update the local package index and install the required dependencies. Then execute the bundle install command again:

       rm Gemfile.lock
       sudo apt-get update
       sudo apt-get install -y libxml2-dev libxslt-dev libpq-dev
       bundle install
     

3. Restart Redmine.

Now you should be able to see the plugins in Administration > Plugins.

Usage

When you create or edit an issue, this plugin allows you to switch between a simple and a standard issue form by clicking the Show simple interface / Show full interface link in the lower-right corner.

The plugin changes the visual appearance of the Assignee and Watchers selectors.

You can search users in the Assignee and Watchers fields by name, letters in name and surname, email or login.

If you select an assignee who is not a project member yet, you can add this user to the list of project members directly from the issue form by checking the appropriate roles.
