Admin Trac Tweak UI with any other Javascript plugins

  1. Take autocomplete for instance.
  2. Prepare autocomplete directory in the Trac environment:
    $ mkdir /path/to/trac/environment/htdocs/tractweakui/autocomplete
    $ cp main.css /path/to/trac/environment/htdocs/tractweakui/autocomplete/
    $ cp jquery.autocomplete.css /path/to/trac/environment/htdocs/tractweakui/autocomplete/
    $ cp jquery.autocomplete.js /path/to/trac/environment/htdocs/tractweakui/autocomplete/
    $ cp jquery.bgiframe.min.js /path/to/trac/environment/htdocs/tractweakui/autocomplete/
    $ cp indicator.gif /path/to/trac/environment/htdocs/tractweakui/autocomplete/
    $ touch /path/to/trac/environment/htdocs/tractweakui/autocomplete/__template__.js
    
  3. Edit __template__.js (optional):
    jQuery(function($) {
        var months = ['January', 'February', 'March', 'April', 'May', 'June', 'July', 'August', 'September', 'October', 'November', 'December'];
        $("#field-cc").autocomplete(months);
    });
    
  4. Now you can admin and test autocomplete Javascript plugins as described above.

Alternative: the AddStaticResourcesPlugin accomplishes many of the same goals of this plugin. Very simple deployment and trac.ini configuration, ie no webadmin screens. Doesn't require an environment upgrade.
