Hi everybody,

I develop any small plugins for Redmine ([www.redmine.org](http://www.redmine.org)) and have a  
questinon and became no anwer from the Redmine-Community…

How can I modify different small parts of one partial with two plugins  
an in wich order work the plugins?

I give an example:  
I have a Plugin A to modify the “assign to” part in  
partial /app/views/issues/\_form.rhtml. To modify the partial, I have  
a new partial \_form.rhtml at the Plugin A. O.k. that works!

If I have a second Plugin B to modify the part “due date” in the same  
partial - If I load a new modifyed form, is the plugin-A-form  
vaporised… ☹

What can I do??

I hoped, it´s possible to “overriding” different parts of a  
“forerunner” partial withe regex e.g. we have the default \_form  
partial and cutting any lines per regex and replace with lines from  
pluginA and cutting other lines from the “new” \_form partial and  
replace with pluginB lines…

I think, the pure replacing per regex is not a problem.

so, thats my dream :-))

It´s possible to modify the partial renderer?

BTW: maybe it is a good idea to give the plugins a “ranking” - I see  
that in a CMS (?? Silverstripe, Redaxo???). It was possible to set a  
number e.g. Plugin A = 30, Plugin B = 40 to set the order of work.

Thanks!
