Dynamicity of Trac (Show number of registered users)

I think we should provide the number of registered users in the AccountManagerPlugin via the UserStats macro.

Yes, that fits in there indeed.

But the priority is not serious. This can easily be postponed behind the acct_mgr-0.4 release.

Hm, isn't it already there?

UserQuery(count)

will yield exactly the number of known users, see account-/user-related WikiMacros for everyone ("Requires USER_VIEW permission for output in any format other then 'count'."). Thoughts?

Yeah, that works well for me. I think we are covered on the macro side.

It might be nice to show the number of registered users somewhere on the /admin/accounts/users page, but that is a separate matter.

Thanks for confirmation.

Oh, good catch , so why not read this request like that then ('main page' == 'user admin panel')? I'll do that.

Yeah, the request is a bit ambiguous, but that makes sense. I looked at the user admin panel for a while, but the best place to locate the user count didn't jump out at me. Perhaps to the right of Manage User Accounts, like is done on the report page.

(In [12496]) AccountManagerPlugin: Add number of accounts into user admin panel, refs #7426.

Patch against r12500 of the trunk.

From my work on t:#10743, I know of a different way to accomplish this, which could avoid adding the additional stylesheet: th7426-r12500-1.patch.

On second look, after the patch is applied the styling of the text is slightly different. I think the patch is an improvement though since the text is slightly larger, so I still favor applying the patch.

(In [12514]) AccountManagerPlugin: Obsolete additional CSS styles, refs #7426.

Changing to another .class allows to remove report.css, that has been added in [12496]. Thanks to Ryan J Ollos for proposing this simplification.

It appears I may have led you astray here because the trac-count class wasn't added until [t 11127], meaning the class isn't available in Trac < 1.0. I think the styling is nice though, and use of the trac-count class will provide consistent styling in Trac >= 1.0. Maybe we should copy the class to acct_mgr.css temporarily, until support for Trac < 1.0 is dropped (AccountManager 0.5 and later?).

Good point. Let's do that.

Enough new stuff has been prepared for another "main" dot-release, so acct_mgr-0.5 will certainly get released before switching the plugin db backend code to Trac 1.0 API, consequently before 0.6dev.

(In [12532]) AccountManagerPlugin: Supply copy of recent Trac CSS style inside the plugin, refs #7426.

Done for compatibility with Trac < 1.0, even if its a very minor tweak.

Ah, right. I have the development plan straight in my mind, but keep mixing up the numbers when it comes time to type ;)

Oh, and just to avoid confusion down the road, we have everything straight in this ticket, but the code comment says Trac <= 1.0, whereas it should say Trac < 1.0.

See also t:#11027, which this ticket inspired.

(In [12571]) AccountManagerPlugin: Add descriptive tool-tip to 'Toggle account approval', refs #7426 and #8595.

A CSS style comment is now corrected as well.

Thanks to Ryan J Ollos for hints on these minor issues, nevertheless I care and I'm happy to receive code reviews for getting things straight.
