Custom Main Menu item and inherited conf

[Markus Rosjat]

Hi all,

I have a few 'tracs running that have there own trac.ini but inherit a few things from a global config.

So in the global config i define my mainnav under [trac] and tha works just fine, Now i want to add a custom menu item in one of my tracs and define it in the local trac.ini  of the project

cloud = enable

cloud.order = 1.0

cloud.href = https://url/to/the/cloud

cloud.label = Nextcloud

cloud.permission = TRAC_ADMIN

so now i want to show up but since i inherit the mainnav form the global conf its not showing.

I try to redefine my mainnav entry in the local ini under [trac] but it doesnt work my new item isnt rendered.

so questions are:

- can i extend mainnav from an inherited conf ?

- If its possible, how ?

Cheers

Markus

Which Trac version are you running? I think we added the ability for the code to merge config-sections from a parent, but I'll have to check if/when that was done.

hi,

I am running 1.4.2 here

I tested with Trac 1.4-stable. The [ticket-custom] section of the inherited config file is merged with the base config.

trac.ini:

[inherit]
file = parent.ini

[ticket-custom]
datetime2 = time

parent.ini:

[ticket-custom]
datetime = time
parents = text
parents.label = Parent tickets
project.options =

Hey,

Well i want to show a Menu item not a custom field in a Ticket. I know that this works since i use custom fields in Tickets.

You can't extend [trac] mainnav, but you can override it. This should definitely work:

[RjOllos]

Oh wait, sorry I forgot that we replaced [trac] mainnav  with the [mainnav] section.  There's not [trac] mainnav option in Trac in Trac 1.4.

The mainnav items are fully defined through the mainnav section.

[Markus Rosjat]

Yeah but then I will leave it since it will cause to much redundance.

Thanks for the Info

Cheers

I might be missing your point, but you can define the options for [mainnav] shared among all of your Trac instances in the parent.ini and then override or extend those options in the base trac.ini.

If you have this in [mainnav] of your trac.ini:

cloud = enable

cloud.order = 1.0

cloud.href = https://url/to/the/cloud

cloud.label = Nextcloud

cloud.permission = TRAC_ADMIN

It should get merged with the [mainnav] from the inherited config file.

[Markus Rosjat]

Its the other way around, this is my section in one of my project ini files that inherites tue Main ini file . But as i explained this doesnt seem to work

I don't know if I'm just not getting what you are saying, but I did some testing and [mainnav] inheritance seems to work fine.

[Markus Rosjat]

No worries, if you like just Post the Part of the Main ini and the Part of the ini that inherites from it and the externes the mainnav there. I guess then i can figure it out

I put the default in the parent.ini:

[mainnav]
admin.order = 8.0
browser.order = 4.0
newticket.order = 6.0
roadmap.order = 3.0
search.order = 7.0
tickets.order = 5.0
wiki.order = 1.0

Then in the project trac.ini

[mainnav]

wiki.order = 3.1

timeline.order = 0.1

And wiki.order from the project overrides the parent, and timeline extends it, so the ordering for TRAC_ADMIN is:

But removing [mainnav] from the project trac.ini yields:

Yeah thats how i do it just with a custom Henry but mine doesnt get displayed. I guess this only works for Standard items like the one in your example.

Thanks for the example

So I think you just have a typo, s/enable/enabled.

cloud = enabled
 

[Markus Rosjat]

Yeah it seems the typo was the Problem changed enable to enabled.
