Hi Chris,

yes, they (Meetings, Costs and Backlogs) are compatible with 3.0 stable. We are using them here on OP.org.

You need to add the wanted plugins to your Gemfile.plugins (in OpenProject directory) file. Add:

  gem "openproject-plugins",          :git => "git@github.com:opf/openproject-plugins.git", :branch => "dev"
  gem "openproject-meeting",         :git => "git@github.com:finnlabs/openproject-meeting.git", :branch => "dev"
  gem "openproject-costs",           :git => "git@github.com:finnlabs/openproject-costs.git", :branch => "dev"
  gem "openproject-pdf_export",      :git => "git@github.com:finnlabs/openproject-pdf_export", :branch => "dev"
  gem "openproject-backlogs",        :git => "git@github.com:finnlabs/openproject_backlogs", :branch => "dev"

Then run:

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

And at last, restart your application server.

But before you do all this, please backup your database to avoid unwanted losses in case anything goes wrong.

Best

Jens

Thank you.

For a production version, is the branch => "dev" still the same?

Chris

These are all the uncommented lines in my Gemfile.plugins.

gem "openproject-plugins", :git => "gitgithub.com:opf/openproject-plugins.git“, :branch => ”dev"
gem “openproject-meeting”, :git => “git@github.com:finnlabs/openproject-meeting.git”, :branch => “dev”
gem “openproject-costs”, :git => “git@github.com:finnlabs/openproject-costs.git”, :branch => “dev”
gem “openproject-pdf_export”, :git => “git@github.com:finnlabs/openproject-pdf_export”, :branch => “dev”
gem “openproject-backlogs”, :git => “git@github.com:finnlabs/openproject_backlogs”, :branch => “dev”

When I run bundle install, this is what I get:

Hi Chris,

yes, they are still the “dev”-branches for production. We will have to release them properly but the time…

As for the errors on bundle install, that’s my fault. You need to use the https protocol to access them. Please change the entries in your Gemfile.plugins to:

  gem "openproject-plugins",          :git => "https://github.com/opf/openproject-plugins.git", :branch => "dev"
  gem "openproject-meeting",         :git => "https://github.com/finnlabs/openproject-meeting.git", :branch => "dev"
  gem "openproject-costs",           :git => "https://github.com/finnlabs/openproject-costs.git", :branch => "dev"
  gem "openproject-pdf_export",      :git => "https://github.com/finnlabs/openproject-pdf_export", :branch => "dev"
  gem "openproject-backlogs",        :git => "https://github.com/finnlabs/openproject_backlogs", :branch => "dev"

Best

Jens

Thank-you Jens.

I made the change you mentioned. The bundle install and RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate worked without error, but rake db:assets:precompile produced the following.

I have also attached the “Web application could not be started” message I received, in case it provides additional information. One of the first things that states is Could not find rake-10.1.1 in any of the sources (Bundler::GemNotFound). However, it is installed.

svr1@phasonwebserver:/home/openproject/openproject$ which rake
/home/svr1/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p545/bin/rake
svr1@phasonwebserver:/home/openproject/openproject$ rake --version
rake, version 10.1.1
svr1@phasonwebserver:/home/openproject/openproject$

Hey Chris,

sorry for the confusion. It’s

rake assets:precompile

(without the db)

The issue with the web server not being able to start is probably not related. The Gemfile.lock of the OP 3.0 stable states rake 10.1.0 not 10.1.1 as the rake it requires. While rake 10.1.1 should run OK as well, bundler will prevent it from being used for the application. So you need to install rake 10.1.0 as well.

On the other hand, I just noticed that you are using ruby 1.9.3 which is not officially supported by OpenProject (could work of course but we don’t know). It will definitely be a lot faster. Is it possible for you to update to 2.1.0? As you would then have to reinstall rake anyway, you would solve a lot of issues at once.

Jens

There were a few other things going on in the background, but I seem to have all working right now. Thanks for your help.

Hello everyone

I found this thread very useful as I was missing the Costing module. I have followed this and now I can see “Cost Control” appeaing under the list of modules in the project settings. However, eventhough I have ticked it and saved it a couple of times, I still do not see it appearing on the left menu panel for the project. I have given my user (developer, manager and reporter) rights as well as “administrator” right.

Any idea what is wrong?

Best wishes

Nima

Hello again

I seem to be spamming the forums with all of my issues, being an OP newbie, but this problem also is now solved. It seems as soon as I fixed the email issue, a lot of my other problems have disappeared.

Have a good weekend everyone

Best Wishes
Nima

I have installed the Meeting plugin, but I found I can only see the members who is administrator in the participant list, even though they are the member of the project. Is there any settings I need to complete first?

Hello Risheng,

see forum thread New meeting only for managers? for details.

Kind regards,
Hagen

I’ve been looking for a list of all the plugins like this. Thanks for posting it. I’m not sure if this is the right place for suggestions but it might be useful to include this in the installation instructions so other people can find it quickly.

Thanks,
Thomas
