I have ported the user() and cgi() sql functions from cvstrac to fossil. Also, I implemented functionality similar to cvstrac's wiki() function.
I described what I did in a comment on this ticket: http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/info/66de526498. I have deployed a clone of the fossil repo containing my changes. See the branch with my changes at http://tkoutline.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/fossil/timeline?t=sql-func. I am running my modified version of fossil and created sample reports illustrating the cgi() and wiki functionality. Report 6 shows a count of tickets grouped by ticket type. The count column in this report are wiki formatted hyperlinks to report 5. The hyperlinks contain an extra url parameter named 'type'. The value of this url parameter is dynamically built from the sql results. Clicking the link launches report 5 which uses the cgi() function to grab the 'type' parameter and filter the report results based on the value. Essentially this is "drill-down" functionality. Difficult for me to describe, but see the reports in action: http://tkoutline.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/fossil/rptview?rn=6 The sql for report 6 is: SELECT type, '[/rptview?rn=5&type=' || type || '|' || count(type) || ']' as _wiki_count FROM ticket WHERE status IN ('Open', 'Verified') GROUP BY type ORDER BY count(type) DESC The wiki formatting is triggered by the special '_wiki_' prefix on the column name. The sql for report 5 has "type=cgi('type', 'Feature_Request')" in the where clause.
