Hi, I'd like to be able to display some data from an external web page on Trac's ticket page. The external web page will have data that's related to the ticket, so it needs to be able to get the ticket number. The web page is one I have control over, so I can have it output whatever's needed--I was thinking a snippet of text in either WikiFormatting, HTML, or just plain text. What's the best way to do this?
I was thinking perhaps I could always put one of the Include macros at the bottom of the ticket description (almost all tickets are entered through another custom webpage, rather than directly through Trac's New Ticket page, so it'd be possible to include the macro at that point), but there doesn't seem to be a way to pass info about the current page (such as the ticket number) to the macro. (That does raise the question of what would happen if that macro was included on a non-ticket Wiki page...) Since almost all tickets are entered through a custom webpage, I suppose it could just put the number of the ticket it's about to create in as an argument to the macro, but that seems even less elegant. And it would make things more difficult for the few tickets that *are* entered through Trac's New Ticket page... you don't know what the ticket number will be until you save it. And perhaps the macro approach isn't on the right track at all... which is why I'm asking around for opinions on how to accomplish this :) Thanks, -- Name: Dave Huang | Mammal, mammal / their names are called / INet: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | they raise a paw / the bat, the cat / FurryMUCK: Dahan | dolphin and dog / koala bear and hog -- TMBG Dahan: Hani G Y+C 31 Y++ L+++ W- C++ T++ A+ E+ S++ V++ F- Q+++ P+ B+ PA+ PL++ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
