How to use/test the plugin? #58

Closed Starbase12 closed 6 years ago

Starbase12 commented 6 years ago

Hi,

we're using Bitnami Redmine in an Win-Environment and I followed your Install-Guide. The Installation seems to be successfull, because after restarting all Redmine-Services, your Plugin is showed under Administration -> Plugins.

As you can see in the attached Images, I tried it with "!nametothepdf.pdf! but after clicking "preview" or "save" there is no preview. With JPGs etc. it's working fine. Maybe you can tell me how to use your Plugin correctly.

Redmine 3.4.2.stable is installed.

Thanks in advanced.

no-preview

If you insert an image like this it's not inserted as thumbnail and therefore there is no preview for it.

Use the thumbnail macro to create thumbnails which can be previewed.

The plugin also works if you add image attachments to issues.

thanks for your answer tofi86. We're Beginners using redmine. Can you tell me how to use "Thumbnail macro" to create Thumbnails and how I can insert them in the wiki, so that a Thumbnail from a pdf is showed in the wiki?

tofi86 commented 6 years ago

As far as I know, Redmine cannot create thumbnails from PDF. There may be plugins for that however.

In this case you can only use it with images like this:

{{thumbnail(image.png)}}
{{thumbnail(image.png, size=300, title=Thumbnail)}}

from the redmine help: http(s)://${your-redmine-instance.com}/help/en/wiki_syntax_detailed_textile.html

This plugin supports preview for PDF's only from links (e.g. the attachment list at the bottom in a wiki page).
