This is Redmine plugin. Plugin adds the recipient email field to the issue form and allows you to send notifications about changes in the issue status to the addresses specified in this field. Emails are sent if the issue is confirmed, the issue is completed, or the start date or due date has changed during the issue execution. Plugin may work with LDAP(add recipient email by user name).

1. Plugin with on option "Use LDAP" use jQuery plugin Select2. To add Select2 library you should install plugin A common libs or another that add Select2 libary to redmine.

2. Create directory your_redmine_base/plugins/send_notification.

3. Copy the content of this repository to the created directory. If you are cloning from this repository, please make sure to rename the root folder from "redmine-plugin-send_notification" to "send_notification" to match the described folder structure above.

4. Plugin requires a migration, run the following command in your_redmine_base directory to upgrade your database (make a db backup before):

       bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

5. Restart Redmine.

• The send_notification plugin needs to know which issue status is considered as "confirmed", "complited", "in progress" and "suspended"(own status which means that working on the issue is suspended) in your redmine installation. This setting must be configured in your redmine installation: Administration --> Plugins --> Send notification plugin --> Configure.

• To use LDAP you should press check box "Use LDAP" in Administration --> Plugins --> Send notification plugin --> Configure..

• In LDAP settings you should set:

  • LDAP host(example: ldap-server)
  • port(example: 389)
  • user name with read LDAP permission
  • user password
  • BaseDN(CN=Users,DC=company,DC=com)
  • LDAP field name that will be used as unique identifier in database table

• You may add some filter to search in LDAP in "ldap filter" field. Search filters enable you to define search criteria and provide more efficient and effective searches. Field supports the LDAP search filters as defined in RFC2254. Syntax and example you may look Here.

• To load data from LDAP you should run rake task:

      bundle exec rake redmine:active_directory_users RAILS_ENV=production

  For synchronization you could set up a Cron job.

• E-mail addresses can be separated by characters ",", ":", ";" or space.

• Just begin enter the name :).
