Hi there, this sounds like what I was phantasizing about.
A macro of the form [[Attachment(1)]] would be perfect for me. I use the ticket system also to manage the datasheets of my hardware parts I use in this project of mine. Each ticket is a part with a corresponding datasheet. There is only one datasheet per part, and therefore something like [[Attachment(1)]] would be perfect. I created a custom text field named pdf, which accepts WikiFormatting according to patch #1791. Then I would just need to put the macro in this field, and could then directly access the attachment from a report. So far, I am doing it with [[raw-attachment:nameofdatasheet.pdf]]. Works, but I have to enter the right filename everytime. If anybody cares to implement something like this (I do not think I could do it in a reasonable amount of time), the link has to go via the "raw- attachment" TracLink, otherwise it will not take you to the pdf directly. Ah, and "render unsafe content" or whatever it is called in the trac.ini file has to be enabled. Best, ALEXander.
