I was going to try it out yesterday but I held off because I didn't want to patch and re-install the core trac system. It would probably work, but I can't really risk breaking the site. Is there any way that this code could be implemented as a plugin instead of a modification to the core code? In my opinion this would make it much easier for people to test and refine without the risk of breaking their current site. -Allen > The other solution on that ticket is a patch against current trunk, I > believe. > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
