missing new line when under "view tickets"

[cel...@live.com.sg]

Hi,

 

I created a new ticket. Under description, i input data, with paragraphs (new line). However, when I click on "View Tickets" to view the list of tickets, the description in the description column does not show the content in paragraph form. Instead, it shows a whole chunk of information. How can I get it to show the data in paragraph form?

 

For instance, http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/ResourceReservationPlugin #7478 description shows a whole chunk of info. When i click into #7478, the description is actually in paragraph form. How can I get it to reflect as paragraph form at the "View Tickets"?

 

Thank you very much.

Which version of Trac are you running? We can see that in 1.0.1, "Description" isn't allowed as a column, but can be shown under the ticket row in the table, and is properly wiki formatted:
http://trac-hacks.org/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&component=ResourceReservationPlugin&col=id&col=summary&col=component&col=status&col=owner&col=type&col=priority&order=priority&row=description

I'm not sure if the behavior was different in earlier Trac versions.
 

For instance, http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/ResourceReservationPlugin #7478 description shows a whole chunk of info. When i click into #7478, the description is actually in paragraph form. How can I get it to reflect as paragraph form at the "View Tickets"?

For that case, the `TicketQuery` macro is being used on the page. We can show the descriptions as rows here as well, which is a change that I made to that page:
trac-hacks.org/wiki/ResourceReservationPlugin?action=diff&version=14&old_version=13

`TicketQuery` macro doesn't prevent us from showing description as a column. The following patch will cause the description to be formatted as wiki when the description is displayed as a column:

diff --git a/trac/ticket/templates/query_results.html b/trac/ticket/templates/qu
index 4bba241..a6e9211 100644

However, since the intended use seems to be displaying the Description in a row, I'm not sure the patch should be applied.

Hi,

 

I am using Trac 0.12.2.

 

U mentioned that I can use TicketQuery macro to display description  as rows? How do I go about doing that for Trac 0.12.2? I am good with displaying description as rows instead of columns.

 

It seems like ticketquery does not exist in 0.12.2? http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/0.12/TicketQuery 

 

Thank you.

Hi, I am now able to display Description as rows. In the query, I changed "row=description" to "col=description". When I do that, description is in column form but is not properly formatted. How do I make it properly formatted?

 

RjOllos mentioned that the following patch will cause the description to be formatted as wiki when the description is displayed as a column:

diff --git a/trac/ticket/templates/query_results.html b/trac/ticket/templates/qu

                     </td>

 

How do I do the above? I am unable to find query_results.html. i can only find /srv/trac/env/celine/templates/ticket.html.

 

Thank you for your help.

There are multiple ways to install the patch, but probably the most straightforward is to download the source, apply the patch and reinstall Trac. If Trac was installed through a package manager, then you would need to remove that instance, and it would probably be better to work in a virtualenv.

Overall, unless you are very comfortable managing packages on your OS, I wouldn't recommend trying to patch Trac. The patch is more of a hack anyway, and I'm considering how we might change Trac in a future release to wiki format columns when applicable. I'll follow-up here if I make progress on that.

Better patch can be found in http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/10352#comment:4

The change has been committed to 1.0-stable, so you can either install 1.0-stable, or wait for 1.0.2.
