    Which Redmine Version is needed to work with the Redmine Client?

    Many thanks for your help

    I originally developed it against 0.8.4. Now I'm personally using a little outdated SVN snapshot. Do you have some specific problems with the latest client I should look at?

    We are working with version 0.7.3 of Redmine. And I'm not able to log in. Error Message: Authentication in Redmine failed.

    Hm, a bit old… Unfortunately I don't have these old versions available, so if you can't upgrade to some more recent version and want me to have a look, it would be great if you could provide me an account for investigating.

    I've installed version 0.8.4.1 and I'm able to log in now. But when I get the Issue List, I only see the field subject filled out all other field are empty or standard.

    May you help me?

    At least some progress :)
    Do you have enough rights set in redmine? Do you see just the subjects and not the ids in the grid (there should be two columns and both filled)? and all the comboboxes are empty? it is a little bit weird as to get the list of issues in the grid there has to be a projects selected…
    I just downloaded the bitnami stack for 0.8 so will give it a try against it.

    Sorry, I've tried to take your api and get all the information out in a new C# project .  I have to transfer the redmine issues to TFS.

    Many thanks for your help,

    Hm, then I think the best way will be to go directly to the database for now - the API of the library is ready to provide the info (it is needed for creating the new issues), but unfortunately redmine is not :(

    The atom feed of issue details doesn't contain anything but the comments and we would have to parse the metadata from xhtml code of the issue detail page which is unfortunately not very parsing friendly (localized texts etc.)

    The atom feed of the issue list is useless as well (contains no metadata)

    Maybe we could parse the CSV version of the issue list (problem is it contains just the columns you allow in the administration and has localized column headers -> hard to make errorproof) to get the metadata.

    As for now I think it's too much work with very uncertain results to implement reading of all the issue data through the API and I'm not very sure it will change significantly until the redmine developers will take into account that an automatizable API on the server side would help… :(

    I still consider parsing at least part of the XHTML code from the top metadata table based on the css class names it uses but it's so ugly, that i'm still not convinced entirely…

    I had the same Idea yesterday evening ( read directly from the database) and it works very fine. It's not hard to understand the idea behind.

    Many thanks again for your help!

    Yes, for a task like this the database is probably the best option as you need all the data but don't need to care about access rights. The speed will also be much better.
