Redmine_blocks plugin compatibility with Chiliproject 2.5.0 or any other way to remove project member from Overview page

Added by Paweł O at 2011-12-13 05:25 am

While having Redmine 1.0.5 I have used Redmine Blocks Layout plugin to remove some info (actually members and news) from project overview page.

Now while I am doing migration from Redmine to Chiliproject 2.5.0 I would like to keep that functionality somehow.
First and most obvious thing is to have "Blocks Layout" plugin enabled in Chiliproject. Actually I did that but for some reason it does not work exacvtly the way I would expect:
  • It shows link item to edit Home Page block settings
  • It does not show link item to edit a project Overview block settings(though the module is enabled in the specific project)
  • I can get to the project Overview page block settings entering a direct url with project id (eg. http://192.168.13.174:3000/blocks/edit_overview?project_id=ez)
  • If all block settings options for project Overview page are clear still the page will display Description, Issues and Members fields. If I add some option to be displayed it is displayed additionally so I have to instances of a field (eg. memebers)
  • If I remove plugin (bundle exec rake db:migrate:plugin NAME=redmine_blocks VERSION=0 RAILS_ENV=production) - it displays it drops overview_blocks table, and then install it again (bundle exec rake db:migrate:plugin NAME=redmine_blocks RAILS_ENV=production) - it displays it creates overview_blocks table, then the mentioned tables is created with the same data as the deleted table - as if the plugin remembered somewhere its settings.

The other thing is that I could somehow remove memebers field from each project overview page (or some specific only).

So the questions are:
1. How is it possible to track the problem? Any helpful ideas more than welcome.
2. How can one remove Members filed from project Overview page?

  1. Probably, but I'd enjoin you to contact the author of the plugin to see if he can/is willing to fix it for ChiliProject,
  2. Removing line 54 in source:/app/views/projects/show.rhtml#L54 should do the trick, that's untested, will affect all projects and will have to be ported across upgrades though.

Thanks Felix:-) Anyway I contacted the authors of the plugin and we will see if they can help us.

Well, I have not received any answer from the plugin developers.

But this is nothing bad, because in a meanwhile I found excellent My Project Page plugin thus I will not bother with Redmine_blocks anymore:-)
