Hello. I have loaded a lot of plugins and they are not showing up in Openproject. I added in all the gem specifications but am not sure if I put the Gemfile.plugins in the right place. I put it in the root directory of Openproject (in my case /home/openproject/openproject) and ran “bundle install”, then “rake db:migrate”. It looked like everything ran fine. But I go into my installation of Openproject and look under “Plugins” and it is empty. I also am not seeing the functionality in there.

Am I correct that all the files will be downloaded from the git repository, therefore I do not need the folders that are online?

What am I missing? Thanks…Dan.

The missing step is precompiling assets:

rake assets:precompile

See more detail here:

https://www.openproject.org/topics/675

However, even though I’ve done this myself, I’m now tackling an error that one of the assets has not been precompiled:

ActionView::Template::Error (meeting/meeting.css isn’t precompiled):

Will let you know if I find a fix to this problem.

Managed to fix my issue with meeting.css, through some unexpected steps. Work package logged here.

Thanks very much for your reply. I will give this a try and let you know the results.

Have a great day…Dan.

Hello all,

if you add or update a plugin you should always run the database migrations and you have to precompile the assets again.

RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile

Than restart the server (Apache or nginx) and everything should work.
