Kevin Papst
A Kimai plugin that allows to set the lockdown period per user.
See documentation for lockdown settings here.
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/LockdownPerUserBundle/
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/LockdownPerUserBundle.git LockdownPerUserBundle
The file structure needs to look like this afterwards:
var/plugins/
├── LockdownPerUserBundle
│ ├── LockdownPerUserBundle.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/
Updates
Updating the plugin works exactly like the installation:
- Delete the directory
var/plugins/LockdownPerUserBundle/
-
Execute all installation steps again:
- Copy files
- Clear cache
