ChiliProject 3.0.0 budget and rate plugins

Added by Rick Whitehead at 2012-02-10 06:31 pm

Hi Chiliproject,
I originally (2 days ago) installed Redmine before reading the reasons for the ChiliProject fork and have subsequently installed ChiliProject 3.0.0 on a cpanel server (centos VPS) using Passenger with Apache. I'm completely new to this software and I have no RoR experience but I'm learning fast :) I'd really like to track time AND costs for my projects and the descriptions of Budget and Rate redmine plugins sound like they will offer some if not all of the functionality I require. But I've been unable to install either module.
Are they simply not compatible with ChiliProject or am I likely to get them working if I downgrade to an earlier Chili version? I'm happy to apply patches etc despite no RoR experience.

I did look at the ChiliProject (in)compatible plugins list before I installed but the ChiliProject wiki homepage stated 'Keep control of your expenses' so I took this to mean that budget/rate functionality might have made it into core Chili but this doesn't appear to be the case.

Any advice gratefully received and I'm happy to plough some time into a solution if I'm able.

As far as I know, ChiliProject core only supports tracking spent times, and thus costs though not rate-aware, sorry.

Hi Felix,
Many thanks for your reply and the clarification that financial functionality is not included in core.
However, please could you advise me whether the Redmine 'Rate' & 'Budget' plugins should work with a particular version of ChiliProject?

Well, the status of the Redmine plugins on ChiliProject is based on trials, i.e. your best course of action would be to try it out.
