Description

From Nils: Could we install this latex-plug in for the redmine wikis? It would be the easiest way to include mathematical equations in the wikis

I have installed and tested the plugin on my own computer. I got problems due to the name of the plugin that involves a hyphen. This has been reported to the plugin developer, and I'll check back later to see if he respons to it.

I have downloaded and tested this plugin too. I also got problems with the name, but I managed to solve it. When I have installed this plugin, I renamed it with the following name : redmine-wiki_latex_plugin
The error was something like this :

 [...] plugin wiki_latex_plugin does not exist [...]

It concerned the following file :

 $(REDMINE_ROOT)/vendor/plugins/redmine-wiki_latex_plugin/app/views/wiki_latex/macro_inline.html.erb

Line 3, we can see the following code :

<%= stylesheet_link_tag "wiki_latex.css", :plugin => "wiki_latex_plugin", :media => :all %>

The solution was to replace

:plugin => "wiki_latex_plugin"

with

:plugin => "redmine-wiki_latex_plugin"

After this modification, the plugin was recognized.
It is possible that while using the plugin, some formulas aren't interpreted, typically those involving braces. To solve this problem, look at this : http://www.redmine.org/issues/3061

Thanks a lot, Yoann.

This definitively got me further. I have the plugin installed on the server, and I have the required latex, dvips, and convert (from ImageMagick) installed as well.

Furthermore I have altered

$(REDMINE_ROOT)/vendor/plugins/redmine-wiki_latex_plugin/app/views/wiki_latex/macro_inline.html.erb

as supposed to. I have also modified

$(REDMINE_ROOT)/lib/redmine/wiki_formatting/textile/formatter.rb

as discussed here. Finally I have migrated the production database and restarted the application.

I don't get any error messages any longer, but I still have the same issues that you had the other day: I don't obtain the desired result. Instead the formula is simply printed without being interpreted.

The redmine site that I'm currently testing this with is:

http://redmine.spatdif.org

Would you be kind to take a look at the formatter.rb file to see if I might have mistyped anything?

Thanks!

Trond
