support separate database for redmine?

Patch provided.

Approach:
- eliminate the need for both drupal and redmine to use the same credentials / database
- simply add a database connection string to settings.php for redmine

In settings.php add:

  $db_url['redmine'] = 'mysqli://redminedbuser:redminedbpass@localhost/redminedbname';

Note:
could use some extra checks to make sure the new connection string is present and properly formatted.

Hi,

Thanks for this patch.

I tried it but got a white screen after applying the patch. Seems that it fails after
function feedmine_settings_form() to set the $redmine_database variable.

I setup the settings.php file as follows:
$db_url['default'] = 'mysql://drupal_db_username:drupal_user_password@localhost/drupal_db';
$db_url['redmine'] = 'mysqli://redmine_db_username:redmine_user_password@localhost/redmine_db';

I checked the DB connection variables, they are found correctly by the patch code.

I would be happy to look further at the issue if you can give me some pointers.

All the best,
Guy

Hi,

With reference to your problem Guysaban...and anyone else who is searching:

This error is most likely caused by you trying to use mysql and mysqli drivers in your settings.php file.

If you look in your php logs you will probably see the error: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare db_status_report()

The fix:

if you change the lines of code in your settings.php file as follows (ie remove the i from the mysql in the second line) you should be good to go:

$db_url['default'] = 'mysql://drupal_db_username:drupal_user_password@localhost/drupal_db';
$db_url['redmine'] = 'mysql://redmine_db_username:redmine_user_password@localhost/redmine_db';

Nice patch jpoesen.

Cheers,

Reviewed and tested. Worked out of the box. Thank you for the patch, jpoesen.

Feedmine is now under new maintainership. This version has been discontinued and a new branch is being prepped for Drupal.org. Thanks!
