Workflow-specific permissions

[Lisa]

Hi,

I looked through all the plugins and I can't seem to find a good way to do this:

I want some general users to be able to comment and create tickets, but not change them.

I want some "feature lead" users to be able to change the description of tickets during certain ticket states (new, requested), but not other states (accepted, implemented, released).  I could give them description_edit permissions, but that gives them permission to edit the description no matter what the state is.  Better yet (but still nice to have), I'd like to only let them edit the description during those states if they are the ticket owner.

I want my admins to continue to be able to do everything.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Lisa

I did something just like what you need using jquery. I needed auto-complete, dynamic fields and other stuff that really needs jquery. The way I did this was injecting variables like ticket state, ticket owner, current user in the genshi template, and getting them via jquery. If user wasnt the owner, I just disabled all the fields from the ticket, because in my trac, only the owner could change the ticket. (it was more like a form, using 300+ fields - I used tracforms). That's just a general idea... I also injected something to don't show ticket page of javascript was disabled, it would just show a warning telling the user to enable javascript. The bad side is that it is javascript dependent =(, but it worked.

Hi

Is it possible to install different versions of trac in the same
computer and both version has a project in side? and do not disturb
each other?

[Cooke, Mark]

Why would you want to do that? If you are developing something then take a look at:-

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDev/DevelopmentEnvironmentSetup

...otherwise perhaps you could explain a bit more about what you are trying to achieve and why.

Conflicting requirements for the plugins used by the various projects?
Separation of access privileges to project data?

Just some thoughts,

Because the project under old version (0.11) are in use, and the
update(0.12 or 13) will change the layout right? The designing of new
version uses some new feature in 0.12. so I wonder that if it is
possible to have different version under the same system

I upgraded our projects from 0.11 to 0.12 and I do not remember having many problems. It may depend on how many projects you have and more importantly on the plugins that you have installed (i.e. if the plugins work with 0.12 or have a version that does). We do not use many plugins.

I am not sure what you mean by "change the layout" ~ there were a few cosmetic enhancements but nothing that caused any problems for me or my users.

I would recommend you try out an offline upgrade of a few projects rather than invest time in supporting the old version in parallel.

Good luck,
