[[PageOutline(2-5,Contents,pullout)]] = Private Comments = == Description == This trac plugin lets you create comments which are only visible for users with a special permission. Additionally it is possible to set the comments visible for users without the permission by checking a new checkbox added to the ticket page === Configuration Help: === After installation of this plugin you will be prompted to update your trac environment. Then you are able to set the name of the permission in the admin-interface or in the trac.ini You have to give this permission to all groups and users who should see the private comments. If you want to change the color of the "this comment is private"- message you can do this by adding a css-class named "private_comment_marker" to your css. The label of the checkbox is modifiable via the css-class "private_comment_checkbox". == Bugs/Feature Requests == === Old Comments === Old comments can't be set private because they miss an entry in the private_comment table. I created a script which creates the necessary entries in the private_comment table. Just place the script cpce.py into your trac context and run it === Email notification === Email notifcations are not filtered and, as far as I know, can't be filtered via a plugin. To filter the notications I made some minor core changes. If a comment is private the text 'the ticket is processed internally' will be set a comment text. You can install the filtering by using the notification_patch.patch file from svn. === Other Bugs === Existing bugs and feature requests for PrivateCommentPlugin are [report:9?COMPONENT=PrivateCommentPlugin here].
