RedmineX Timesheet Plugin

The RedmineX Timesheet Plugin streamlines project logging by replacing tedious manual entry with a fast, intuitive one-page interface. It features weekly and daily views, keyboard-friendly navigation, and the ability to log time across multiple projects simultaneously, helping teams reduce logging time tenfold. Designed for both users and managers, it provides clear visibility into logged hours and overtimes, ensuring accurate project estimates while eliminating the hassle of administrative overhead.

Installation


1. Go To Root & Unzip

Unzip the archive and upload the folder redmine_x_timesheet to redmine_root/plugins or upload the archive in the same location and perform the unzip command in the console. Do NOT change the plugin folder name.

2. Install Gems

From redmine_root run bundle install. No need for any migration (rake).

If the gems were installed correctly, this is roughly what you should see.

3. Migrate

When installing RedmineX Timesheet plugin, you need to run the migration command bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production.

If the migration went well, this is roughly what you should see.

-- add_column(:projects, :rx_project_template, :boolean, {:default=>false})

-> 0.1440s
