I am trying to develop a very quick macro to a mantis site we are
using for bugtracking (yes, I know, I should be using trac, but it's
not a change we've been able to do yet). I kind of got the grip on the
macro code (I am on the hello world stage anyway) and I got a macro
working for pages but it doesn't appear to work on revision logs.
It works fine on the changeset view, but not on the revision log, in
the revision log I get the following: [[mantis(...)]] (as plain-text).
The macro does something there because otherwise I would get a link to
create a wiki page, but it doesn't get properly expanded as on wiki
pages or changeset pages.
That's "normal", well, expected at least. Macros are currently not
expanded by the OneLinerFormatter, which is used in the Revision Log.
The verbose mode for the revision log uses the normal display and there
the macro will be expanded.
In the future (0.13), Macros will either expand to block content or line
content, and in the latter case will also be shown in oneliner output mode.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
But yes, in the meantime you should use a IWikiSyntaxProvider extension,
in that case.
Luckily for you, someone had exactly the same problem as you with Mantis ;-)
Take a look at the following single file plugin
http://trac.edgewall.org/attachment/wiki/ChristianBoos/mantis_tickets.py
(I see there's also
http://trac.edgewall.org/attachment/wiki/ChristianBoos/mantis_tickets_link.py
not by me and untested, YMMV).
Is this a bug?
No.
Any help will be appreciate it.
And while we are at it, what's the standard way to output a link using
the trac API, I was about to use plain html but I am sure there's a
'proper' way of doing it.
You should use the genshi builder tag.a("label", href=url), or reuse the
formatter methods (private ones, unfortunately, see abovementioned plugin).
