Redmine › Author Box

Redmine 2.x and Rails 3.x introduced so many changes that even such small plugin as the Author Box needed to be updated... So this is the main change in 0.1.0 – support for Redmine 1.4.x, 2.0.x and 2.1.x.

Other changes are also included but they are only translations. In particular: Ludovic Meyer added the French translation (#1871), Mario Luzeiro submitted the Portuguese translation, Pawel Orzechowski uploaded the Polish translation (#1896) and Ismail Sezen submitted the Turkish translation (#2061). Thank you, guys!

Since the first version the Author Box plugin supports adding custom content to the author box... However, this was not described anywhere. So I decided to write, how to do this, for this release. Check this Wiki page to get a better idea of what I’m writing about.

The Rename also affected the Author Box plugin – its identifier has changed! So if you use SVN you need to update the repository URL using the command:

svn switch --relocate http://svn.s-andy.com/redmine-author http://svn.s-andy.com/author-box

Reminding once again: You can always subscribe to any my project using the Subscription form on the sidebar. The form is provided by the Subscription plugin...

P.S. Which plugin is the next in the queue for porting to Redmine 2.x?.. It’s Sidebar Content! Expect it very soon...

Ok. Here is it! A new version! It just includes Spanish and Chinese translation... Thanks Txinto Vaz and Tim Lin for them!

Those who use the Author box plugin perhaps know that it uses the Extended profile plugin. These plugins are related! With changes made to the Extended profile plugin the Author box plugin stopped to work as expected... So that’s the main reason for this new version.

Anyway the plugin has been improved so update is recommended even if you don’t use the Extended profile plugin.
