Redmine Category Tree

This module allows for the category lists within projects to act as trees instead of a single flat list. This uses the awesome_nested_set contained within Redmine to maintain the tree structure.

Added Features

• Categories can have child categories
• Categories are now sortable

Installation

• Clone the repository
• Place in <redmine_root>/plugins
• Follow normal Redmine plugin installation commands

Usage

Add a category as you normally would. There will be a new dropdown labeled "Child category of" with a listing of all other categories available for that project.

NOTE: If you are editing an existing category, since it cannot be a child of itself, that option will be disabled in the "Child category of" dropdown.

Issues List

If the category module is selected for display, it will display the full category tree instead of just the selected category for those that are children.

Tracking Category Changes

Changes to categories are tracked and will show up in the history as the full tree.

Managing Categories

The category listing will show in a tree format similar to the projects listing in the admin panel. You are presented with four separate options for ordering the categories.

1. Move to Top
2. Move Up
3. Move Down
4. Move to Bottom

NOTE: If a category is unable to move in a particular fashion, that link will not be shown.

Move to Top

This will move the selected category to the top of the list for that project

Move Up

This will move the selected category up one slot so it will now show above the category above it.

Move Down

This will move the selected category down one slot so it will now show below the category below it.

Move to Bottom

This will move the selected category to the bottom of the list for that project
