You are invited to build a patch and we will review it in here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for the invitation but if I had the time and the knowledge to do it, the patch would already be attached to the issue :)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I start to make it!

What i've done is that you can put the estimated time on :
- Day (d)
- Week (w)
- Month (m)
- Year (y)

By typing 1d => 1*hours_in_day (the char at the end is the unit)
3w => (3*days_in_week)*hours_in_day

I just calculate the number of hour in function of the unit. And overload the view for more flexibility.

The char for time unit will be customize for the differents context.
Right now i try to modify the time tracker to support the char unit.

I'll send a patch soon when that will be good.

ps : sorry for my poor english
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My plugin will be ready.

I put some screenshots to have an idea of what that looks like.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is your plugin finished ? we could be interrested to test it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes!

Of course! I'm gonna to store my plugin on github.
I have to improve the plugin, because the scope of my plugin is global and not per project.

By all the way, tomorrow i'll send the uri
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here the link of my plugin : https://github.com/spike008t/redmine_advanced_issues/

But, that just the first version and not optimized.
I have to improve the plugin.

Fails, when clicking on any issue id. Is there any special install instructions?

For my point of view this plugin is the main lack of Redmine to have a professional project management (coupled with redmine_better_gantt_chart it can be one of the best). But I have the same problem like Mike Dubman when clicking on any issue id.

What I can see is that 'miss_time' comes from your 'issue_patch.rb' at line 39 :

38 def has_risk?
39 (spent_time_over_estimated? || miss_time? || behind_schedule?) && !closed?
40 end #has_risk

Where do you use it from (do you have other plugins you are depending on ? en français : n'as tu pas des dépendances avec d'autres plugins ?)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
you will have same problem with method "behind_schedule" not defined
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I'm gonna to fix the differents missing methods, i forget that I've added some methods but directly into the issue model.

I'll send a message when everything is done (I mean i'm gonna write some tests et try it on a fresh install from scratch).

Stay on touch :)

En français : Alors j'ai oublié des methods que j'ai directement écrit dans le code source de redmine... Je vais les rajouter dans le patch, écrire des tests
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just push the source code. I think that should work, I'll add some stufs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quel talent !
It works like a charm
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
now no error, but - when trying to update any issue - getting this error in the browser:

<pre>
Log time is invalid
Activity can't be blank
Start time can't be empty
Hours must be grater than 0
End time must be bigger than Start hour
</pre>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, I've push on github some modification, right now I think that should work.
Could you try again?

In fact, the problem is on log time, I return 0 but that nil the good value!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, your update on github corrects the update issue bug
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's an other bug about "Time spent" in the "Log time" form. The field is flaged with unit comment "days by default" but the input value is taken into account as hours.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for the reply about this bug.

I'm looking for that, and I'll notice you when that will fixed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I've configured the unit of time at "day" but if i use the "Log Time" in the "Update" fonction of an issue, Redmine stay in "hours". It's good, if i use the "Log Time" near the "update" fonction.
I've join a picture, my English is poor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the same problem as Mseuda.
I've set the default to operate in days but when I click on update to update an issue and got to the Time Spent box which says days by default and enter time - it assumes the number I have entered is in hours. I did try and give it 2.0d using the d qualifier to signify days - but it didn't like that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh! I'm going to look at it and fix that on github!
I'll let you know when that will be ready!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry for the long time to update, I haven't got the time with my job...

I have done some change, and right now, that should work!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
