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/SharedProjectTimesheetsBundle/

The file structure needs to look like this afterwards:

var/plugins/
├── SharedProjectTimesheetsBundle
│   ├── SharedProjectTimesheetsBundle.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.

Create database

Run the following command:

bin/console kimai:bundle:shared-project-timesheets:install

This will create the required database tables and update them to the latest version.

Updates

Updating the plugin works exactly like the installation:

  • Delete the directory var/plugins/SharedProjectTimesheetsBundle/
  • Execute all installation steps again:
    • Copy files
    • Clear cache
    • Update database with bin/console kimai:bundle:shared-project-timesheets:install
