Arbitrary Options Plugin

Description

Pass arbitrary options from conf.ini's to templates in Trac.

You put whatever options you'd like in a [project_info] stanza inside your trac's .ini file. These are passed to the template as key-value pairs inside the dictionary 'project_info'.

You can also access data for other projects in your trac env under the list 'projects'. That list will have a dictionary with keys 'name', 'description', 'href', and 'info', where the first three are the same as in a project list, and the 'info' is the dictionary of arbitrary options you've passed for that project.

Source

You can check out ArbitraryOptionsPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.

Example

If your .ini had this:

[project_info]
short_name = my_project
status = active
order = 3

You could access it in your Trac's Genshi templates like this:

Short name is ${project_info.get('short_name')}. Status is ${project_info.get('status')}.  Order is ${project_info.get('order')}.

You could iterate over your whole projects list like this:

<li py:for='proj in projects' py:if='proj.name != project.name and proj.info.get("status") == "primary"'>
    <a href='/${proj.href}'>${proj.name}</a>
</li>
