= Notice Manager Plugin = == Description == The Notice Manager was developed to help local project admins to create information needed before sending notice e-mails. Up till now, it was not possible to change the e-mail address of users or to create information for users without adding the user to a credentials file, e.g. when you use LDAP to manage Trac permissions. The Notice Manager allows to retrieve all information needed either from an LDAP directory - in this case, the methods provided by the LDAP plugin - or a local text file. Please note, this plugin was developed for internal use. Feel free to add, change or delete as this plugin is our first experience with programming for python/trac. One more note: This plugin requires the LdapPlugin to be installed - even if you only want the "local text file" variant. It doesn't install without. == Bugs/Feature Requests == Existing bugs and feature requests for NoticeManagerPlugin are [query:status!=closed&component=NoticeManagerPlugin&order=priority here]. If you have any issues, create a [/newticket?component=NoticeManagerPlugin&owner=morodin new ticket]. == Download and Source == Download the [download:noticemanagerplugin zipped source], check out [/svn/noticemanagerplugin using Subversion], or [source:noticemanagerplugin browse the source] with Trac. == Example == Go to the Admin page, General, E-Mail. This will show a list of accounts, which are either: * already registered, or * mentioned in the Trac-permissions On the right side, you can fill in information, either by entering them manually (Add/Change Notice Info), by getting them from an LDAP directory (Information gathering ... from LDAP) or by retrieving the information from a local file (Information gathering ... local file). The file follows a simple syntax, on one line, list the id, the name and the e-mail address, divided by the ':' sign, e.g. {{{ bla:Test Account:bla@localhost.localdomain }}} Please note: In order to use LDAP groups for assigning tickets, the LDAP group prefix has to be changed from "@" to "*". If you dont change the prefix, you will not be able to send e-mail to the LDAP group when assigning ticket responsibilities. == Recent Changes == [[ChangeLog(noticemanagerplugin, 3)]] == Author/Contributors == '''Author:''' [wiki:morodin] [[BR]] '''Contributors:'''
