I have been able to manually place the Miln Checkbox in the plugins/ directory in a single trac environment using a vanilla Trac install (version 1.2) on ubuntu.
I am running into an issue when trying to manually place the *NewsflashMacro.py* file (and it's css file) into the plugins directory. Trac sees the plugin and it is enabled in the Admin pannel. The trac.log says that there is no handler for the css file. - Where should I put the css file? - What is the best practice for loading css files from plugins? i.e. is the NewsflashMacro.py plugin demonstrating current best practice for Trac 1.2 and Trac 1.4?
