The exported PDFs are packed into a zip archive that will be sent as download.

Storage

This bundle stores the files to be created in the system temp directory. See PHP function sys_get_temp_dir().

Make sure that this directory is writable for your web server. The files are automatically deleted after download.

Installation

Copy files

Extract the ZIP file and upload the included directory and all files to your Kimai installation to the new directory: 

var/plugins/ZipProjectRendererBundle/

Or you can clone it directly to the var/plugins/ directory of your Kimai installation:

cd kimai/var/plugins/
git clone https://github.com/jens-2305/ZipProjectRendererBundle.git ZipProjectRendererBundle

The file structure needs to look like this afterwards:

var/plugins/
├── ZipProjectRendererBundle
│   ├── ZipProjectRendererBundle.php
|   └ ... more files and directories follow here ...

Clear cache

After uploading the files, Kimai needs to know about the new plugin. It will be found once the cache was re-built. Call these commands from the Kimai directory:

How to reload Kimai cache

bin/console kimai:reload --env=prod

It is not advised, but in case the above command fails you could try:

rm -r var/cache/prod/*

You might have to set file permissions afterwards:

Adjust file permission

You have to allow PHP (your webserver process) to write to var/ and it subdirectories.

Here is an example for Debian/Ubuntu (to be executed inside the Kimai directory):

chown -R :www-data .
chmod -R g+r .
chmod -R g+rw var/
Test Kimai before executing these commands (they are likely not required in a shared-hosting environment). You probably need to prefix them with sudo and the group might be called different than www-data.

Updates

Updating the plugin works exactly like the installation:

  • Delete the directory var/plugins/ZipProjectRendererBundle/
  • Execute all installation steps again:
    • Copy files
    • Clear cache
