Hi, first of all, I'd like to thank you for the great work you've done so far. I really admire all of you guys. My programming skills are not so good so I'll only lend my hand in proposing an idea or two that might be useful.
Before I run Ansible role directly I can specify certain connection parameters in an Ansible inventory file. As you know the same option is available in the Foreman GUI interface via parameters (Global parameters, Host group parameters etc.). However, there is one limitation and that is the list of parameters administrators can specify is limited. To get an idea which parameters are available one can take a look in the following ruby scripts /opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems/gems/foreman_ansible-1.4.5/app/services/foreman_ansible/inventory_creator.rb and /opt/theforeman/tfm/root/usr/share/gems/gems/foreman_ansible-1.4.5/app/models/setting/ansible.rb . The problem arise when somebody needs a parameter that is not listed there. Okay, you can edit both above mentioned scripts and then restart Foreman, but every time the official update is applied, you have to add all necessary code changes again. This sucks and I believe everyone agrees with me. So the idea I'd suggest is that, let administrators define what parameter they need/want without hard-coding into Foreman Ansible plugin ruby scripts, OR make them hard-coded but the list of available parameter must be complete.
