provide or document ways to use variables in custom items

[Clif Kussmaul]

It would be very nice for custom menu items to be able to variables, such as the current user, the current wiki topic, ticket number, etc.

Please consider adding this, or documenting examples of how to do it.

I'm not sure I understand what you request. Can you please describe a more detailed description of your idea?

I want to create custom menu items with titles or URLs that are not completely static, but depend on other information in trac, such as the current user, current topic, current ticket number, etc. This would add considerable power & flexibility.

For example, we could create custom menu items to:

• custom query showing tickets for the current user

  mytickets.title  = Tickets for $USER
  mytickets.url    = .../query?owner=$USER
  

• actions for the current wiki page:

  pageattach.title = Attach
  pageattach.url   = .../wiki/$PAGE?action=attach
  pagedelete.title = Delete
  pagedelete.url   = .../wiki/$PAGE?action=delete
  pageedit.title   = Edit
  pageedit.url     = .../wiki/$PAGE?action=edit
  

• actions for the current ticket

  samecomp.title   = Same Component
  samecomp.url     = .../query?component=$COMPONENT
  samemile.title   = Same Milestone
  samemile.url     = .../query?milestone=$MILESTONE
