DMS support and docs/examples

[vergelli]

Hello, I'm working on a project that uses the DMSf plugin for Redmine, so I was wondering if there is a chance to take controll of this plugin with Python-Redmine. It seems that it is possible since I already asked them and their answer was pretty much positive. Seems there is no documentation anywhere from which I can start working with. I am seeking for example codes or anything that can help me.

@vergelli Hi, in order for Python-Redmine to work with any plugin, this plugin has to have a REST API, unfortunately I didn't find any information in their docs regarding whether they have a REST API or not. If they do, you can follow our documentation and create a custom resource or several resources which will represent entities of the plugin, so Python-Redmine knows how to work with their data responses.

Hi,
I am interested in the support of the DMSf plugin in Python-Redmine, too. FYI: the plugin has a REST API which can be found here.
Thank you for mentioning the custom ressources. I will take a look into it.

@Tom-Black Hi, did you find a way to take control of dms? I was touching a bit of it, with no luck. I was hoping to find a solution of this kind:

project = redmine.project.get( id)
proj_dms = project.dmsf

I have tried several ways but with no luck. I wonder if there is a way to work around it. Since as it was mentioned, it supports external Redmine plugin API.

@maxtepkeev Could there be a way to list all the resources? hoping to find any reference that brings me to dmsf

Update: I found that:

import redminelib
dir(redminelib.resources)

does just that

which returns:

['Attachment',
 'BaseResource',
 'CustomField',
 'Enumeration',
 'File',
 'Group',
 'Issue',
 'IssueCategory',
 'IssueJournal',
 'IssueRelation',
 'IssueStatus',
 'News',
 'Project',
 'ProjectMembership',
 'Query',
 'Role',
 'TimeEntry',
 'Tracker',
 'User',
 'Version',
 'WikiPage',
 '__builtins__',
 '__cached__',
 '__doc__',
 '__file__',
 '__loader__',
 '__name__',
 '__package__',
 '__path__',
 '__spec__',
 'base',
 'registry',
 'standard']

Nothing seems useful anyway

As the plugins REST API uses a separate dmsf endpoint i.e. /projects/12/dmsf.json the only way to use it is to implement it as a custom resource.
