Re: [fossil-users] CSS modifications
Thanx for the response. I have now found how to access the CSS. The Blitz skin styling makes the distinction between ordinary and hyperlinked words very subtle; to a color-blind fellow like myself it was not at all apparent and I only noticed it by accident. That was one of the things that I wanted to adjust! The marvelous incantation that you sent only returned the current css so the previous one was lost in the upgrade. I am much less concerned about this since it gives me the opportunity to do a much better job. :: paul > On Dec 23, 2015, at 12:30 , Andy Bradford > <amb-sendok-1453494618.nkjljkhlcligkeehh...@bradfords.org> wrote: > > Thus said Paul Higham on Wed, 23 Dec 2015 10:11:03 -0800: > >> Having upgraded to Fossil release 1.34 the customizations to the css >> that I had made have disappeared and I cannot find a way to edit the >> new css.

[fossil-users] CSS modifications
Having upgraded to Fossil release 1.34 the customizations to the css that I had made have disappeared and I cannot find a way to edit the new css. Is this no longer possible?

[fossil-users] class attribute 'fossil-doc' not working for me
I am trying to get a .html file to show up in a Fossil wiki as embedded documentation. There is an instruction that says to put the followingat the beginning of the .html file to have the header and footer displayed: which I have dutifully done including the end tag. However the Fossil header and footer are not displayed, and the .html is rendered with only the default css styling.Is this something that could be fixed with an update to the Fossil executable? The server I am using is currently at version 1.29. The .html file is hyperlinked from a markdown file using the tag and . . . .and the file bridge1.html is attached StudyManagement makes the assumptions that it will be notified and supplied with all the relevant data when the user wants to perform any of the following allowed operations: create retrieve update delete study yes yes yes requires special privileges study site yes yes yes requires special privileges recording no yes comment only no case report yes yes yes no These assumptions become the requirements on StudyWeb to provide: the necessary input forms to gather information from the user the necessary controls for the user to request stored information suitable display mechanisms to render retrieved information The fundamental bridging technology used here is the Common Gateway Interface (CGI), providing bidirectional communication between StudyManagement and StudyWeb. A single CGI script will act as the 'go between' and has the following responsibilities: parse the QUERY_STRING environment variable as the input to the CGI script when StudyWeb issues an http GET request convert the request to appropriate StudyManagement domain functions send the request to the StudyManagement process using the Tcl comm library The code in here is a bit ugly because it was actually generated using Pandoc from an extended Markdown file.Thanx!:: paul___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

[fossil-users] Repository home page as embedded documentation
I am using markdown to document an application within Fossil. Having read all the documentation I could find I still cannot see whether it is possible to do the following: have the home page of the repository be rendered from a file such as homePage.md where this file is itself under source control in the same repository (this way I could edit the home page in my favourite text editor) from a wiki page written using markdown, create a link to another wiki page also written using markdown Are either of these possible or do I have to edit the first page in the wiki page editor and go under the hood to create the query string to access the linked wiki page?

Re: [fossil-users] pdf embedded in wiki not displaying in Firefox
The .pdf is referenced as an image using markdown as the wiki markup of the wiki page. The markup is equivalent to # Title Some explanatory text . . .  In Safari the .pdf renders perfectly, in Chrome all that shows is a little square indicating that the URI cannot be found, and in Firefox there is nothing at all. Are we not using standard procedure and just got lucky with Safari or do the other browsers need some help to find the image? Could this be an Apache configuration issue?

[fossil-users] wysiwyg editing of ticket
I recently upgraded to Fossil version 1.29 and I love both the ability to do wysiwyg editing of wiki pages and the flexibility to use Markdown as well. However, I would like to see this capability applied to the ticket description field as well - is there any hope for this?

Re: [fossil-users] (no subject)
I have questions regarding two subjects that have been mentioned in this thread: I want to grant permission to a project manager here to be able to create, edit and view tickets and their attachments, but I don’t want him to be able to clone, check in or check out. I have given him all the following permissions: bcdefhjkmnprtuw but he still cannot access attachments - does anyone know which is the right permission flag? BTW the Fossil version used on the server is 1.24 [f60a86d0f2] 2012-10-30 15:49:26 Is it possible to use MarkDown in Fossil ticket descriptions? My problem is that the limited capabilities of the wiki markup is preventing enthusiastic acceptance of Fossil by some of the non-developers at my (very small) company. Thanx for any help in these regards. :: paul On Aug 28, 2014, at 09:17 , Ron W ronw.m...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Aug 28, 2014 at 11:42 AM, Todd Niec tn...@tornadosoft.com wrote: It seems to fit the bill almost perfectly, but I cannot enter formatted descriptions in the tickets. I am losing my whitespace formatting, for example. I see there is a drop-down list with choices like wiki, and HTML but that does not seem let me format the entry. Am I missing something? I know you can enable (Fossil) wiki formatting in tickets, probably also MarkDown formatting (never tried it, don't use MarkDown). And a subset of HTML is also accepted. When you do, you have to follow the formatting rules. For example, wiki paragraph breaks require a blank line between the paragraphs. In HTML, a paragraph is surrounded by p and /p. HTML also allows line breaks: br. See http://fossil-scm.org/index.html/wiki_rules for how to do this. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
Re: [fossil-users] (no subject)
With the developer permissions set the attachments can be downloaded (a .pdf will open directly in the browser, but an Excel document is actually downloaded) but with all the permissions that I gave below even the .pdf is inaccessible. The project manager that I mentioned does not need a local copy of the repository, all he needs is to be able to create, edit and view tickets and their attachments on the repository that sits on an AWS ‘cloud’. So I still don’t know which is the operative permission flag or is it simply not possible to do what I am trying to do in Fossil? I plan on updating the cloud version of Fossil but I do have the latest on my own machine. However, I cannot find any specific instructions even on the Fossil website as to how to do this.

Re: [fossil-users] (no subject)
Thanx for the info. Adding the check out permission did the trick but it does seem a little counterintuitive that a user would have permission to check out but not to clone ;} I also apologize for the second question, I had left a sentence out and ending up asking the wrong question. But anyway thank you Richard for your answer, it confirms that my intended course of action is the right one. What I wanted to ask was whether or not it is possible with the latest version of Fossil to use MarkDown in the description field of a ticket. If it is possible, then where could I find some documentation on how to configure Fossil so that this capability can be activated?

I think check out is needed to download attachments and check in needed to upload. (To my thinking, ticket attachments should not require check in/out. If people feel the existing ticket specific permissions should not grant attachment privs, then maybe consider adding addition perms to Fossil.) I plan on updating the cloud version of Fossil but I do have the latest on my own machine. However, I cannot find any specific instructions even on the Fossil website as to how to do this. Is it possible or not? Do what? Update Fossil in your AWS instance? Assuming you want Fossil server to auto-start on boot, you update the Fossil executable the same as on a physical PC in your possession, then you need to save your / partition by creating a custom system image (I forget what AWS calls these) then, from your AWS console, configure your instance to boot from the new system image. Hopefully AWS instance configuration and custom system image creation is easier than it used to be. It has been years since I ran an instance on AWS, so I can't really say much about how to do stuff on it, but everything I needed to do was documented back then, so I would expect it to be, now.
