Redmine: create issues via GET request - jira

In JIRA it is possible to create new issues through a simple GET request: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Creating+Issues+via+direct+HTML+links.
A simple example of such a link:
"http://jira.atlassian.com/secure/CreateIssueDetails!init.jspa?pid=10420&issuetype=3&summary=say+hello+world"
This would create a new issue in project with PID=1042 with summary "Say Hello world".
Is there Redmine plugin/api which allows for such a use case? The REST API is inconvenient for my use since I would like to allow users to create new issues (with pre filled data) through a link sent in email and I don't want to use JavaScript for the job (to send the REST json/xml data).
EDIT:
From what I see (http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineReceivingEmails) Redmine provides an email API for submitting issues, this would be a parital solution. I would be able to add a "mailto:" link which would pre fill the content of the message.
This solution requires additional emails so still I would prefer to have a post link solution.

I have implemented a basic plugin which fulfills my needs. You can find it at:
http://code.google.com/p/redmine-post-link-plugin/

You could also have a server-side script that actually sends the e-mail. There's no post link solution as far as I know.

You might want to look at the Redmine API for updating and creating issues.

In Redmine2 there is oficial API for it.

Mandrill - View In Browser Functionality

This question was discussed about 2 years ago.
Do we have any feature built-in Mandrill since then to cater to the requirement mentioned in that link of displaying every email sent through Mandrill in browser by adding a "View In Browser" link? If not, then I am leaning towards implementing something similar to what #Muleskinner did (again mentioned in that link as one of the responses). Please let me know what you guys think about it?
Would strongly recommend using a full-featured templating service on top of mandrill (we use sendwithus. Services like that provide a templated URL that can power this sort of thing, and you won't have to worry about building and hosting the templates yourself.
Finally I have managed to implement the requirement mentioned above. Explanation below for anyone else looking for help on the same subject:
Mandrill still DOES NOT have any such feature out of the box. So we need to implement this on our own. What I am doing is immediately after sending every email through Mandrill, I call its Render method which gives the resultant parsed template in HTML with all customers' information and storing it in the system for future use.

How can content be pulled from Wordpress?

Is it possible to do some API call and pull Wordpress content? Or is that not a possibility?
I am trying to get my blog's content and display it in a mobile (iPhone) app. Would anyone know how to best accomplish that?
Thank you!
You need to install this plugin. It provides a lot of APIs which you can call including:-
get_recent_posts
get_posts
get_post
get_page
example usage:-
http://your-site-name.com/api/get_post?id=1
will return post (in JSON) with id 1
You can also create post, update post and delete post using some APIs provided by this plugin.

Get watched issues in Redmine via REST API

We're looking to create a tool to help with time management in Redmine. The issue we are currently having is that we want to get a list of issues that are watched by a particular user but can't find an API for it. Does anyone know if this is possible or are we just going to have to try and modify Redmine directly?
SOLUTION: Similar to the solution provided below by dmf85, I found a solution to this problem that worked for me. The Issues API takes a query_id as one of its parameters. What I ended up doing was filtering my issues by Watcher (like dmf85 said) then saving the query. I then used the query_id from that saved custom query in my API call.
At least in Redmine 3.1, there’s an undocumented parameter for the Issues API that allows you to specify a watcher directly: watcher_id. It works just like assigned_to_id, you can pass either a user ID (i.e. watcher_id=23) or the special string me (i.e. watcher_id=me).
An example of URL could be like the following: https://example.com/redmine/issues.json?watcher_id=me&key=redmine_api_key
Under your issues tab in the interface, click:
add filter
watcher
select a watcher in the box
Then, click the atom, csv, or pdf link at the bottom for a link that you can write a program to consume at your discretion.
Does this help?

Integrate Google Search Appliance with Rails Application

I wanted to integrate GSA with Rails. But the web proved to be un-helpful. Anybody knows any step-by-step tutorial.
First, you have to call the GSA with the search query. The reference informations for generating the GET-request is here: http://code.google.com/apis/searchappliance/documentation/610/xml_reference.html#SubmittingaSearchRequest
Then you will receive a xml response from the GSA with all needed information inside. The reference for the xml nodes are here (Look better at a xml response from your GSA and get additional informations in my link): http://code.google.com/apis/searchappliance/documentation/610/xml_reference.html#results_xml_tags
Last but not least, you have to parse the informations within the xml and generate your custom frontend.
I hope that will help you. It isn't really complicated.
Define "integrate" closer. The most things are language independent and have nothing to do with Rails/Java/.Net or whatever
Try using the gem rails-gsa this will help you a lot in integrating the Google Search Appliance with your rails Application.
Check out the documentation on github https://github.com/rohit9889/rails-gsa

Display twitter feeds

For an event in a couple of weeks I'd like to make an web page/app which display tweets from a specific user, a specific hashtag and all #reply's at the first user in 3 boxes on the screen.
However I've never tried this. I want to use either .NET (C#) or HTML/CSS/JS since I'm proficient in those. Are there any libraries/API's I can use? Or is there an readily available freeware/open-source app I can use?
Have you seen TweetSharp?
Use Twitter's profile and search widgets. Profile for the first box, a search of the hash tag for the second box, and a search of to:username for the third box.
I actually just posted this as an answer to another question:
I just updated a plugin to work with the Twitter 1.1 API. Unfortunately, per Twitter's urging, you will have to perform the actual request from server-side code. However, you can pass the response to the plugin and it will take care of the rest. I don't know what framework you are running, but I have already added sample code for making the request in C#, and will be adding sample code for PHP, shortly.
The plugin makes a call to statuses/user_timeline, but you will likely want to look at statuses/filter or statuses/search, instead. All you will have to do is add your desired parameters (hashtag, replies, etc.) to the server-side code and it should work (with the addition of your security keys and tokens, of course).
Good luck! :)
