Description

Component TextAreaDescription

Shows next to a text area (like description itself or any custom description) an description for what the field is for.

Default values for options:

Component CssTemplate

Add links to style sheets located in templates folder.

​CSS files started with "all_templates" are added for all Trac sites. CSS files starting with template name (without .html-suffix) are added for specific template.

To apply changes you need to restart the server.

Examples for files which resides in projects templates folder:

Component SortMilestoneVersion

Sorts drop-down lists of version and milestone regardless of the case and make milestone a must field, when a default milestone is set.

Default behavior of Trac for sorting milestones is:

inbox, v1, v2, Inbox, V1, V2

inbox, Inbox, v1, V1, v2, V2

Component TicketNavigation

Implements an extra Navigation menu by dividing the main ticket information in an several div areas an providing a "jump-to" to the anker with are represented in the navigation box.

Component HtmlContent (old)

Deprecated - use CkEditorPlugin instead! See also CkEditorPlugin-Tickets #8586 for discussion of implementation. The scope of CkEditorPlugin is changing output of CKEditor to trac wiki syntax, which would be better tha saving in HTML (as this Component is doing).

Enables HTML content in description, adding Javascript editor and adding additional CSS file for manipulation CSS declarations.

Options:

option name	values	description
description_format	wiki | html	format for ticket description (default: wiki)
editor_source	valid path	Usually it should stored in project or common js folder. For ckeditor for example it could be site/js/ckeditor/ckeditor.js.
editor_replace	valid path	Javascript, which should replace textareas.
additional_css	valid path	Path to additional css file, which overrides css-declarations.

Sample configuration:

[ticket]
description_format = html
editor_source = site/js/ckeditor/ckeditor.js
editor_replace = <script type="text/javascript">CKEDITOR.replace('@FIELD_NAME@', {toolbar: 'custom'});</script>
additional_css = site/css/add_ticket.css

In above sample configuration ​CKEditor is used as online editor and the editor source is located in projects-folder htdocs/js/ckeditor, after each textarea with HTML-Option content of editor_replace will be added. The file in option additional_css will be added and therefore will override these declarations.

Attention: To have a correct preview, file ticket_box.html has to be edited:

1 <py:if test="field">
2   <py:choose test="">
3     <py:when test="ticket[field.name] and field.format == 'html'">${wiki_to_html(context, '{{{ \n#!html \n' + ticket[field.name]  + '\n}}}', escape_newlines=preserve_newlines)}</py:when>
4     <py:when test="'rendered' in field">${field.rendered}</py:when>
5     <py:otherwise>${ticket[field.name]}</py:otherwise>
6   </py:choose>
7 </py:if>

Line 3 has to be inserted into py:choose block in above template-snippet.

<div py:if="ticket.description" class="searchable" xml:space="preserve">
<py:choose>
    <py:when test="description_format == 'html'">${wiki_to_html(context, '{{{ \n#!html \n' + ticket.description  + '\n}}}', escape_newlines=preserve_newlines)}</py:when>
    <py:otherwise>${wiki_to_html(context, ticket.description, escape_newlines=preserve_newlines)}</py:otherwise>
</py:choose>
</div>

Also py:choose block has to be added into div-block near the end of file (see above template-snippet).

Component DisplayDate (old)

This Component is removed in version 0.5, since it is fixed in Trac itself with revision 10629 (see Trac-Ticket ​#9777).
