XMPP Notifications Plugin for Redmine

This plugin is intended to provide integration with XMPP messenger (Jabber).

Following actions will result in notifications to Jabber:

Following commands hardcoded into the bot (underscores and angle brackets here for logical grouping purposes only):

+#XXXXX <any_message_you_want_to_set_as_comment_for_issue_number_XXXXX>
.#XXXXX <new_status_for_issue_number_XXXXX>
- statuses are: not, yet, decided
!# <description> +<project_name_substring_or_id> [!<assigned_to>]* [@<watcher>]*
- if assigned_to is not specified issue will be assigned to the user who sent command
- project_name_substring_or_id can contain spaces. In that case it should be surrounded in "double quotes"

Installation & Configuration

Then install the Plugin following the general Redmine plugin installation instructions.
The XMPP Notifications Plugin depends on the Xmpp4r. This can be installed with bundler in top Redmine directory:

cd <redmine_installation_directory>
bundle install

Go to the Plugins section of the Administration page, select Configure.
On this page fill out the Jabber ID and password for user who will send messages.
If you want bot to go online when Redmine starts set XMPP_BOT_STARTUP environment variable to any value.
Restart your Redmine web servers (e.g. mongrel, thin, mod_rails).
