Credits
This plugin was originally created by Fabian Vetter in 2020.
As it was abandoned by the original author, it has been forked and further extended by Kevin Papst since then.
Installation
Kopiera filer
Extract the ZIP file and upload the included directory and all files to your Kimai installation to the new directory:
var/plugins/CustomerPortalBundle/The file structure needs to look like this afterwards:
var/plugins/
├── CustomerPortalBundle
│ ├── CustomerPortalBundle.php
| └ ... more files and directories follow here ...Rensa 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/
You might not need these commands in a shared-hosting environment.
And you probably need to prefix them with sudo and/or the group might be called different from www-data.
Skapa databas
Run the following command:
bin/console kimai:bundle:customer-portal:installThis will create the required database tables and update them to the latest version.
If you see an error like There are no commands defined in the "kimai:bundle:XYZ" namespace.,
then either the directory has a wrong name (must be var/plugins/CustomerPortalBundle/) or you forgot to clear the cache (look above).
Uppdateringar
Updating the plugin works exactly like the installation:
- Delete the directory
var/plugins/CustomerPortalBundle/ -
Execute all installation steps again:
- Kopiera filer
- Rensa cache
- Update database with
bin/console kimai:bundle:customer-portal:install
