Project-based Knowledgebase rewrite

[bennun]

Hi Alex,

Just to let you know we forked your wonderful module and re-wrote it to support individual projects. You can now have separate articles / categories per project. Kb is tab based. Permissions work great. We added view permissions for the home page statistic. I rewrote the readme to explain the update. I've tagged it as v0.3.2, if you decide to merge. Checkout the whqcd fork. - josh

This is fantastic! Per-project is really what we need. :) I just tried it and seems to be working great! :)

Should be an admin plugin setup switch to still have it also as global one.

[bennun]

Cerupcat, glad you like it, enjoy! Cforce, sorry but but global is not a feature, but a design principle. We are sticking with project-based because of how RM core is designed.

Josh, good work :)

Honestly I'd like to be able to provide both options, but it would require re-thinking how the plugin is designed. Also, with RM not playing well with searching non project-based plugins, it would mean that only part of the content would be searchable, which sucks :P

[cerupcat]

I didn't see an option to put an 'issue' on a fork so I guess i'll write it here. It would be nice to integrate KB into the activity feed of the project.

Any updates so far regarding Knowledge Base support for individual projects in mainline. Please let us know the Roadmap of this plugin.

[alexbevi]

Honestly, I don't have a roadmap for this plugin. I basically wrote it to serve a business need (and to encourage redmine internally at work). Our need was for a global KB, so no project-specific instances were necessary. With redmine's inability to handle non-project bound search providers, I've lost interest in continued development. I'm not abandoning this solution as it seems to work well for most.

I keep meaning to get in touch with the Chiliproject guys to see if they're more receptive (Eric Davis forked this plugin at one point, but I don't think it went further than that :P)

Hey, I prepared this plugin to work with chiliproject and I used branch with support "per project" from @bennun
You can find it here: https://github.com/mitfik/redmine_knowledgebase

I tested it with latest CP 3.1.0

I plan also develop a little bit this plugin so stay in touch.
If someone will have some wishes regarding functionality just put issue in my repo I will consider it :)
Regards

Checkout the whqcd fork.

Where's that, I can't seem to find it...

I think it is here https://github.com/bennun

This will be a feature of the 3.x branch. Should be available shortly - I'm just refining/testing the code that I have for this, will submit a pull-request later.

[alexbevi]

I'm officially closing this issue as this will be the way 3.0 works. Due to the way redmine is structured, it's not really feasible (from a plugin perspective) to maintain both a global, and a project-based knowledgebase at the same time.

Looks like project-based wins :P
