+ ref to KeepInterfaceSimplePlugin

Create customisable ticket templates

Notice: This plugin is unmaintained and available for adoption.

Description

This plugin enables users to create a ticket using templates which can be customized by the Trac administrator and the users themselves.

Key features:

  • Trac administrator can specify a general system level template default for all uncustomized ticket types.
  • System level ticket templates are ticket type specific.
  • User level ticket templates, ie my template, can be managed by common users.

See also TicketStencilPlugin and KeepInterfaceSimplePlugin for plugins with similar functionality.

Changes in version 0.7

  • This version has full i18n support with Trac 0.12dev-r9098 and above.
  • New feature: support My Template: everyone can manage their own templates now.
  • New feature: add permission TT_USER to fine-grained control My Template.
  • New feature: template can include any fields specified in [tickettemplate] field_list. Just set the fields to the desired values when creating a template from the New Ticket page.
  • New feature: support template params that can be specified by URL.
  • New feature: support importing and exporting ticket_templates (by Russell Ballestrini).

  • Trac administrator should define the template for all ticket types:
    • Login as administrator, open Admin -> Ticket System -> Ticket Template.
    • Load the template of each ticket type, modify them and apply changes.
  • After defined ticket template, normal user can create ticket using predefined template by change ticket types dropdown list items.

The New Ticket page

The Admin panel

About template parameters:

  • This plugin supports template parameters which can be specified by URL. For example:
  • The template:
    foo bar %(my_param)s baz qux
    
  • Call newticket:
    http://yourtrac/newticket?my_param=anything&owner=myname
    
  • Rendered:
    foo bar anything baz qux
    
  • And the owner field would be populated with myname by Trac's default convention.
  • Note: be careful choosing the template parameter name to avoid conflicts with existing ticket field names.

You can install this software as a normal Trac plugin:

  1. Uninstall this plugin if you have installed it before.
  2. Change to the directory containing setup.py.
    • (Optional): If you are using Trac 0.12 with i18n, you should compile language files here:
      python setup.py compile_catalog -f
      
  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 one Trac instance only:
    • python setup.py bdist_egg
    • Copy the generated egg file to the Trac instance's plugins directory:

  5. Configure your trac.ini file:
    [components]
    tickettemplate.* = enabled
    
    [tickettemplate]
    field_list = summary, description, reporter, owner, priority, cc, milestone, component, version, type
    enable_custom = true
    
    • Set field_list to choose which field should be included in template.
    • Set enable_custom to false will disable My Template, of which the default value is true.

About i18n / l10n support

This plugin is prepared for localization. English message texts are the (POSIX) default.

Current languages supplied with the plugin are:

  • English (default)
  • Chinese (simplified)
  • Japanese
  • German
  • Italian

If you can't find the language you want, you could do it yourself.

  1. Init your language catalog, taking et_EE (Estonian) as an example:
    python setup.py init_catalog -l et_EE
    
  2. Update catalog:
    python setup.py update_catalog -l et_EE
    
  3. Translate with your favorite editor, the language file locate in tickettemplate/loclate/et_EE/LC_MESSAGES/tickettemplate.po
    • Note: this .po file should be saved with UTF-8 encoding.
  4. Update catalog again, for normalizing the manual edits:
    python setup.py update_catalog -l et_EE
    
  5. Generate the compiled catalog:
    python setup.py compile_catalog -f
    
  6. Reinstall the plugin.

See the l10n cookbook page for Trac plugins for more details.
