Port to 3.2.x of Redmine Anonymous Authors¶ ↑

Port is check against Redmine 3.2.0 where is works correctly. If you need more control over replies that are sent to issue authors you can look at github.com/jfqd/redmine_helpdesk. And probably github.com/luismaia/redmine_email_fetcher could be also helpful.

Anonymous Authors plug-in¶ ↑

Anonymous Authors plug-in:

• Allows to the anonymous user to enter his name and e-mail address when adding an issue;

• Allows to the anonymous user to enter his name and e-mail address when adding a note to the issue;

• Displays the entered name and e-mail address anywhere in Redmine instead of “Anonymous”;

• Notifies the author of anonymously created issue when it is updated. You can add a note to the issue and author will get the notification as a normal user;

• When Redmine is set up to create issues from mails, it uses the name and e-mail address from “From” header of the received mail;

• Allows to filter issues by the author’s name and author’s e-mail address (including anonymous authors);

Recommended to use together with “Anonymous Watchers plug-in”: redmine.academ.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Anonymous_Watchers_plug-in
