Getting Started¶

This quick introduction shows you the most convenient way for trying out the plugin with your Redmine instance.

Downloading the plugin¶

Navigate into the plugins directory of your Redmine instance.

Download the latest development state as redmine_project_types folder
into your plugin directory.

cd (REDMINE_ROOT_DIR)/plugins
git clone -b master https://github.com/xmera-circle/redmine_project_types.git

Restart Redmine¶

Navigate into the root directoy.

Run the restart Rake task. This will touch restart.txt in order to force Redmine's application server to restart and load
everything from scratch. This will register the new plugin.

cd (REDMINE_ROOT_DIR)
rake restart

Plugin Usage¶

Navigate to Administration -> Project Types and create a project type the same way you would do it for a project.

After saving all required configurations you can create a new project and select the previous created project type for the new project. Enter a project name and an identifier, then save the new project.

After successful saving you will see all the configurations of the selected project type in your new project.
