Migrate from redmine_issue_reminder to redmine_mail_reminder

At 2015/05/13 (2.6/3.0 Branch) this plugin is renamed from redmine_issue_reminder to redmine_mail_reminder, in order to avoid conflict with existed redmine_issue_reminder.

Rename your redmine_issue_reminder directory (redmine/plugins/redmine_issue_reminder) to redmine_mail_reminder

Connect to your redmine's SQL database, run the following SQL script

 update schema_migrations set version=replace(version, 'redmine_issue_reminder', 'redmine_mail_reminder') where version like '%redmine_issue_reminder%';
 update settings set name=replace(name, 'issue', 'mail') where name =  'plugin_redmine_issue_reminder';

Testing redminder mail

Send test mail without affecting inverval of schedule

rake reminder:exec[test] RAILS_ENV="production"

The behavior of rake reminder:exec is to send email only if it is time to send a new email, regarding the interval parameters. If you execute rake reminder:exec manually, it will affact next scheduled transmission.
rake reminder:exec[test] is supposed to have exactly the same behavior as rake reminder:exec, except two things:
- It does always send emails to issue assignees (no matter when the last execution was)
- It does not affecting the next schedule of rake reminder:exec.

Troubleshouting

Make sure that:

You are using the branch which matches your redmine version. e.g. redmine2.0/redmine2.5/redmine2.6/master for lastest version
This plugin folder's name is redmine_mail_reminder
Your cron job executes without errors

How can i customize the queries?

Take a look at the official documentation about custom queries: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineIssueList#Custom-queries

I don't see the Reminder Settings

Add permission to Your user.

The issue reminder doesn't send mails

We use redmine internal mail send functions, therefore the outgoing email settings has to be set in config/emai.yml or config/configuration.yml

I can not use the windows scheduler (WinXP related)

You need to have a user password set for your windows user in order to use the windows scheduler. See also here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc785125(WS.10).aspx
