There are no currency conversion plugins or templates available for #redmine. So we have come up with our own tweak. This will be useful for #financemanagement and #pmos to quickly do currency conversion in the tracker. This plugin extension fetches current currency rate and gives the conversion.

steps for using this partial

1.put this partial in the view folder. 2.render this partial by adding following line into the place where you want the conversion happen

<%= render "controller_name/currency_conversion_partial"%>

3.save the file 4.migrate and restart the server. 5.enjoy

adding role based access( in Progress)

Way 2 steps:

1. add a column to roles table

 bundle exec rails generate redmine_plugin_migration redmine_wktime add_showcurrencyconverter_to_roles showcurrencyconverter:boolean

2.This should be the migration file

class AddShowcurrencyconverterToRoles < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.2]
  def change
    add_column :roles, :show_currency_converter ,:boolean
  end
end

3.db migration

bundle exec rake redmine:plugins:migrate NAME=redmine_wktime RAILS_ENV=development

3.View partial

<%
@role=Role.all
access_hash={}
@role.each do |role|
  access_hash.merge!(role.name => "#{role.show_currency_converter}")
end

puts access_hash

%>
<p>
<%= access_hash %>
</p>



<script>
function getdata(){
    var manager=document.getElementById("manager");
    var developer=document.getElementById("developer");
    var reporter=document.getElementById("reporter");

    //this will return true or false
    document.getElementById("show").innerHTML = manager.checked;

    //this will return value 
    //document.getElementById("show").innerHTML = manager.value;
}
</script>
