= Various hacks to alter Ticket form behavior = == Description == Trac in 0.11 provided us with this incredibly powerful and terrible bit of dark power -- the ability to apply Genshi Transformers to the templates before they hit the user. The power is awesome; and with this plugin I have abused that power for evil purposes. And there are plans for more evil in the future! Basically, the plugin adds the ability to tweak any of the Ticket fields-- be they custom or standard-- in the following ways: * disable - The field won't be editable. * hide - The field will simply be invisible. * label - Rename a field... in particular one of the built-in fields. * notice - Add a small notice below a field. * tip - Provide a pretty java-script tooltip when the control overs over the field. (Useful, for example, to give people a reminder for the difference between 'priority' and 'severity' * permission - Set a permission that is required to edit that specific field. This is particularly useful in an environment where you let ''users'' set severity-- so they need TICKET_CHGPROP-- but you only want certain people to be able to edit the Priority. The plugin also lets you define arbitrary permissions, say, MASTER_OF_PRIORITIES, if you want to require someone to have such a custom permission to edit a certain field. More evil hacks to come-- one day, I'll make it so the fields available in COMPONENT (For example) will be different depending on what Ticket Type you choose. P.S. I am emphasizing the 'evil hackitude' of this because it seems terribly unclean and a bad idea to abuse. But it works for me! :) == Bugs/Feature Requests == Existing bugs and feature requests for BlackMagicTicketTweaksPlugin are [report:9?COMPONENT=BlackMagicTicketTweaksPlugin here].
