filter.*
command to use for converting a non-text format to text. The command takes a file as input (first %s) and writes the generated a text file in a file (second %s):
There is no need to declare a filter command for .txt or .text. Text files are handled natively. To index a new non-text format, just add a filter.* entry using the appropriate command line tool for this format.
filter.myEXT = my_command -infile "%s" -outfile "%s"
- Trac 10.x and 11.x source code must be manually modified for SEAT plugin to work. The file to modify is attachment.py. On a Linux Fedora system, it is located in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac
162 def insert(self, filename, fileobj, size, t=None, db=None): ... ... 184 try: 185 # Note: `path` is an unicode string because `self.path` was one. 186 # As it contains only quoted chars and numbers, we can use `ascii` 187 basename = os.path.basename(path).encode('ascii') 188 filename = unicode_unquote(basename) 189 190 cursor = db.cursor() 191 cursor.execute("INSERT INTO attachment " 192 "VALUES (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)", 193 (self.parent_type, self.parent_id, filename, 194 self.size, self.time, self.description, self.author, 195 self.ipnr)) 196 shutil.copyfileobj(fileobj, targetfile) 197 self.filename = filename 198 199 self.env.log.info('New attachment: %s by %s', self.title, 200 self.author) 201 202 if handle_ta: 203 db.commit() 204 205 targetfile.close() # << Line to add for SEAT plugin 206 207 for listener in AttachmentModule(self.env).change_listeners: 208 listener.attachment_added(self) 209 finally: 210 targetfile.close()
- Add the trac-seat utility to your path. For instance, copy trac-seat to /usr/local/bin.
- Use trac-seat to convert existing attachments to text files and index these.
trac-seat /path/to/your/env meta trac-seat /path/to/your/env index -c
- restart the trac server ( /etc/init.d/httpd restart)
