Source

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

Installation

You can install this software as you would for any TracPlugin.

simplejson is a requirement for Python < 2.6, and it should be installed automatically if required when running easy_install.

  1. Uninstall TracTicketTemplate if you have it installed before.
  2. Change to the directory containing setup.py.
  3. If you want to install this plugin globally, this will install this plugin to the python path:
    python setup.py install
    
  4. If you want to install this plugin to the Trac instance only:
    • python setup.py bdist_egg
    • copy the generated egg file to the trac instance's plugin directory
      cp dist/*.egg /srv/trac/env/plugins
      
  5. Add the follwing line to the components section of the trac.ini file:
    [components]
    tcf.* = enabled
    
    [tcf]
    hide_empty_fields = false
    chained_fields = tcf_brand, tcf_phone, tcf_os
    
    or:
    chained_fields = component, tcf_brand, tcf_phone, tcf_os
    
    for non-tcf_ starting fields.

hide_empty_fields is the option which enable "hide fields when there are no supplied options", default is false. See #5638 for more details.

Example

For example, there are 3 fields: brand, phone, OS. When the phone brand changes, the phone field will change its options to show only phone belongs to that brand. When the phone changes, the OS field will change accordingly.

  1. Add 3 custom fields in trac.ini
    [ticket-custom]
    tcf_brand = text
    tcf_brand.label = Brand
    tcf_brand.order = 3
    tcf_phone = text
    tcf_phone.label = Phone
    tcf_phone.order = 4
    tcf_os = text
    tcf_os.label = OS
    tcf_os.order = 5
    
  2. Go to Admin -> Chained Fields, edit the config
    {
        "tcf_brand": {
            "Nokia": {
                "tcf_phone":{
                    "5800": {
                        "tcf_os":{
                            "Symbian": {},
                            "Android": {}
                        }
                    }
                }
            },
            "SE": {
                "tcf_phone":{
                    "": {
                        "tcf_os":{
                            "": {}
                        }
                    }
                }
            },
            "Apple": {
                "tcf_phone":{
                    "iPhone": {
                        "tcf_os":{
                            "OS X": {},
                            "OS": {}
                        }
                    },
                    "iPhone 3G": {
                        "tcf_os":{
                            "OS X": {},
                            "other": {}
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
    

Notes:

  • If no options for some fields, like "SE" above, you still need supply the full structure, with empty string as keys.
  • It supports any fields after [7793].
