Posted on the Redmine forum, but after a few days didn't get a response. I thought someone here might know.
I am trying to export PDF's with images. I have tried using the copy/paste and upload when creating an issue and specifying the file name; all seem to fail exporting the picture. Tried different formats jpg and png, with same results. I have read several forum postings from several years ago, when rmagick would be installed to help solve the issue. From Redmine install page I read that the rmagick is not necessary for 4.1.0.
I am really new to running the redmine world. Running redmine on a Windows box.
How can I allow the images to be exported to PDF for an issue?
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Environment:
Redmine version 4.1.0.stable
Ruby version 2.6.5-p114 (2019-10-01) [x64-mingw32]
Rails version 5.2.4.1
Environment production
Database adapter Mysql2
Mailer queue ActiveJob::QueueAdapters::AsyncAdapter
Mailer delivery smtp
SCM:
Git 1.9.4
Filesystem
Redmine plugins:
redmine_issue_templates 1.0.1
It appears that Redmine 4.1 introudced new way and new checkmark in order to have Images visible in PDF
Notice the ImageMagick optional requirement:
If you check in Redmine log, it would probably dump this message:
Imagemagick's convert binary is not available...
On the underlying Linux system, Ghostscript is also required for above to work.
I'm currently on a task to upgrade from Redmine 3.0.3 to Redmine 4.0.3.
I have followed these steps from http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/redmineupgrade but the current system is running a version of Ruby that is not supported by Redmine 4.0.3. I have also tried to make a new server using Turnkey Redmine and then copied over the database and configuration file, but with no luck.
Has anyone done this before and if so is there an how-to guide somewhere?
This appears to be more of a general 'How to deploy a Rails application' question, not really Redmine specific.
In short, Chruby or the aforementioned Rvm are the answer to all your Ruby version problems. After installing a current version of Ruby, you will have to somehow configure your Ruby server (Unicorn or mod_rails or whatever you're using) to run with that version of Ruby. How to do that really depends on what you are running and, again, is not Redmine specific but specific to that server.
Currently i am using redmine 1.1 and now i need to update it to redmine 2.2. I have already added lot of projects and its issues in redmine 1.1 version. I have installed the redmine 2.2 in other port and use the redmine 1.1 database with the necessary changes that we need in the redmine 2.2 for maintain all my projects, issues, users in the database. But when i connect to redmine 2.2 and try to login it shows an internal error. Do anybody know how can i update redmine 1.1 to redmine 2.2 with the data that exists in the 1.1 redmine database? Please let me know whether its possible.
Normally, except for plugins, you should not have problems to migrate.
Backup your DB, then do a
$ RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
Have a look at the official procedure. It's worth reading...
The main problem when migrating is usually the plugins which are not compatible.
I am trying to install http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/PluginScreenshotPaste or Redmine 2.0.4, but, no luck.
Do somebody knows how to amend the plugin to work?
I've made a rework of the plugin because it wasn't compatible with Redmine 2.1.x
You can checkout it on my github account : redmine_screenshot_paste.
I haven't tested it on branch 2.0.x. Please, tell me if it works or post an issue on github.
I'm trying to get Mylyn and Redmine work together so I can manage tasks right inside Eclipse. I saw this on redmine wiki http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/HowTo_Mylyn but I think it's for the old version of Mylyn.
I can't find the Generic Web Connector plugin for Mylyn but there's this Web templates plugin. I think that one replaced the Generic Web Connector. But it's quite different from the screenshots posted at the Redmine wiki. There's no Task URL, New Task URL, etc.
Here is what you are looking for:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/redmin-mylyncon/
A Mylyn connector specially for RedMine. It works fine with eclipse ganymede.
The update site is: http://redmin-mylyncon.sourceforge.net/update-site/N/
Here are the steps to perform integration between Eclipse Mylyn and Redmine.
I assume that Eclipse, Mylyn and Redmine are already installed, the latter somewhere in $REDMINE_HOME. Tested with Eclipse 3.7 and Redmine 1.2.1.
Summarily, you need to install an Eclipse plugin AND a Redmine plugin.
Go to $REDMINE_HOME/vendor/plugins and run
git clone git://redmin-mylyncon.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/redmin-mylyncon/redmine-mylyn-connector
(Re)start the server, and in Redmine under Administration/Plugins the Mylyn Connector Plugin should be listed
Again in Redmine, under Administration/Settings/Authentication, check the "Enable REST web service" field
In Eclipse, install the Eclipse connector via its update site
http://redmin-mylyncon.sourceforge.net/update-site/N/
Create your repository and check that it connects, then you are good to go!
See this manual.

As of july 2012 now there is a new dedicated Redmine-Mylyn-Connector under active development for Redmine 2.x! (Got to admit, I haven't tested it yet.)
I am in the process of testing the 1.x connector that can be found on sourceforge, I will edit this post once I am done.
EDIT:
The update-site for the mylyn-plugin from the link in the accepted posting works.
As well as the mylyn-connector for the redmine installation. (Tested with 1.3.2 installation, don't forget to restart the web server after installing it. ;))
But both things aren't working out... once the mylyn-connector is installed, the web-interface is not working anymore. ;(
EDIT2:
The special connector works with 2.x and Mylyn finally looks proper.

http://kenjiru.ro/blog/2012/02/install-the-redmine-mylyn-connector-for-eclipse another server plugin link and the eclipse connector plugin
Will look like this.
As of yesterday, Sven has taken down the update site (if you go there, you'll find nothing) since someone reported him to Sourceforge (see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3441532&group_id=228995&atid=1075435).
So, there are NO binaries available now for Eclipse. Does anyone know of alternative ways to get these plugins? I have no clue how to compile.
The GIT and SVN repositories are there, but again as I sad, I'm not a java programmer. Can anyone offer Sven a site where he can store the binaries as an Update?

Also a good read from redmine.
