How to install Plugins to packaged CE

Added by Julian Ohm over 7 years ago

Hi

I have now installed openproject and wanted to install some plugins (for example the translations) but i can’t figure out how to install it.

As described in the manual, it seems that it is not possible to install plugins to my version. am i right?

i tried to put

gem "openproject-translations", :git => 'https://github.com/opf/openproject-translations.git', :branch => 'stable'

into the Gemfile.plugins, but

bunde install

gives an error

# bundle install -bash: bundle: command not found

So i hope, someone can help

regards
Julian

Hello Julian,

you are right:
The installation instructions for the plugins are for the manual installation.
You would need to install the manual installation to customize the list of provided plugins.

Best,
Robin

I just installed 4.2 using the instructions. It used a wizard. Are you saying I cannot modify “as much” or plugins, Or that there is a reason to install using the manual installation method OVER the automated one? That is just not standard.

If so please let me know and let me know how to uninstall the version I have so I can then install the manual version.

Hello Joe,

if you installed the packaged community edition all the supported plugins are included (which includes translations which has been integrated in the core with OpenProject 4.2).
You can use the packaged installation without restrictions (e.g. on the configuration).

However, if you plan to install additional plugins (such as the plugins provided by the community (which are however not supported) (you can find some of those plugins at the bottom of the list of plugins )) you would need to install the manual installation which gives you more flexibility in terms of adding or removing plugins.

That being said we recommend the packaged installation since it is significantly easier to install and update.

(I referred to the manual installation since the syntax Julian used is how plugins are added to the manual installation.)

Best regards,
Robin

Ok so it sounds like If I want generally more control (possibly in addition to Plugin control?) that I should wipe this and install the manual version. Would that be correct? Meaning, for “a little more work now” would I be able to do the “maximum amount of manual config later?”

RE: How to install Plugins to packaged CE - Added by Robin Wagner about 7 years ago

Hello Joseph,

you get indeed a little more flexibility with the manual installation.
The downside of the manual installation is not only the more complex installation process but also potentially a more complex update routine when a new OpenProject version is released.
If you are however familiar with Ruby on Rails, prefer the flexibility of adding / removing plugins to your liking and don’t mind the increased complexity the manual installation may indeed be the better choice for you.
For instructions on the manual installation, take a look at the manual installation guide.

Best regards,
Robin

Reading this i understand that if i want to add spanish language to my OpenProject, it must installed manually. In other words, i can’t add spanish language to OpenProject packet installation. Have i understood it correctly? Thank you.

RE: How to install Plugins to packaged CE - Added by Robin Wagner about 7 years ago

Hello Samuel,

you don’t need to install the manual installation to use different languages (such as Spanish).
You can install the packaged installation and then activate the language in the admin settings (Administration > Settings > tab Display).
With OpenProject 4.2 the translation functionality was moved into the OpenProject core, so it’s even independent from any plugins.

Best regards,
Robin
