Recalculate rates plugin

A Kimai plugin, which forces a recalculation of the hourly and fixed rates for timesheet records on every update.

By default, Kimai will use the hourly/fixed rate which was initially found.

How it works

The good part is: you can change customer/project and activity and be sure, that the correct rate will be used.

The bad part: a manually entered hourly/fixed rate will be overwritten. You HAVE to work with the pre-configured rates on your activities/projects/customers always.

Compatibility

Plugins should always be compatible with higher Kimai versions, the following list contains the plugin version and the required minimum Kimai version.

Copy files

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

var/plugins/RecalculateRatesBundle/

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

cd kimai/var/plugins/
git clone https://github.com/Keleo/RecalculateRatesBundle.git

The file structure needs to like like this afterwards:

var/plugins/
├── RecalculateRatesBundle
│   ├── RecalculateRatesBundle.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:

bin/console kimai:reload --env=prod

rm -r var/cache/prod/*

You might have to set file permissions afterwards:

chown -R :www-data .
chmod -R g+r .
chmod -R g+rw var/
chmod -R g+rw public/avatars/

Updating the plugin works exactly like the installation:

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