Redmineflux Icon Compat
redmineflux_icon_compat provides one helper API for plugin links that works in both:
- Redmine 5 legacy icon classes (
icon icon-*) - Redmine 6 sprite icons (
sprite_icon)
Use rf_icon_link to keep one code path across Redmine versions.
Install In A Redmine Plugin
1) Add the gem to your plugin Gemfile
Create or update plugins/<your_plugin>/Gemfile.
Local development:
gem 'redmineflux_icon_compat', path: '../redmineflux_icon_compat'
From RubyGems:
gem 'redmineflux_icon_compat', '~> 0.1.2'
2) Install dependencies
From Redmine root:
bundle install
3) Require the gem in plugin init
In plugins/<your_plugin>/init.rb:
require 'redmineflux_icon_compat'
4) Include the helper (recommended)
module MyPluginHelper
include RedminefluxIconCompat::Helper
end
5) Use rf_icon_link in views/helpers
ERB example:
<%= rf_icon_link(:add, 'Add Checklist', '#', class: 'add-checklist-btn') %>
Helper example:
rf_icon_link(:edit, l(:button_edit), edit_path(record))
6) Restart Redmine
Restart the app server after gem/helper changes so code reload is clean.
Troubleshooting
If you still see old icons:
- clear cache:
rm -rf tmp/cache/* - reinstall dependencies:
bundle install - restart Redmine
- hard refresh browser (
Ctrl+Shift+R)
