Various Plugin Patches for Trac 1.6

[Dan]

I'm working on updating a bunch of plugins to run on Trac 1.6.  These would be referenced from TracHacks.

Does anyone have thoughts as to how I could contribute back the changes?  Should I make a ticket for each one I update and attach the patch?

If I upload a patch for a plugin, should I tag it as compatible with 1.6?

If I have a really old plugin that I have maintained over the years, and it's not included on Trac-Hacks, should I create a page for it?  Maybe attach the source?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, that would be great. I will try to review them quickly. If they look good we can grant you committer access after we review the first few.

That's fine, but I have a slight preference for waiting until the patch is committed before adding the tag.

Sure. Even better if we can commit the source into SVN. I can do that for you, or you could register an account. To be honest our account registration process may be broken, but just ping me and I'll help out.

I'm getting closer to sending the patches.

FWIW, here's a list of plugins for which I have updates:

• ccselectorplugin
• childticketsplugin (very minor change to templates to remove unused table heading)
• emoticonsplugin
• exportimportxlsplugin
• projectmenuplugin
• timingandestimationplugin
• tracdragdropplugin
• trachtmlnotificationplugin
• traciniadminpanelplugin
• wikicalendarmacro
• wikiextrasplugin

I also noticed setup.py for tagsplugin doesn't start with a python header (e.g. #!/usr/bin/env python), which is very minor.  I started working on porting "moviemacro" but I have seldom used it and not sure it's really usable anyway.

The other plugin I alluded to is "ticketvalidation" which I have used for a long time.  At one time I got a recommendation to use dynamicfieldsplugin, but that plugin doesn't handle a case for the ticket status that I have been using.  (We require a custom "root cause" field to be filled in when we send a ticket to a custom "reviewing" state when the ticket is a defect.)

I also have some comments and possible changes for tracwysiwygplugin, but there has been work on that recently, and I need to rethink it a little bit.  The mods I have been using are only minor/cosmetic and relate to the toolbar.

Some of those I've committed without testing, so if you are able to plugin the latest version and confirm it, that would give me more confidence that something didn't go wrong.

OK, thanks!  I'll try to find some time soon.

I did some updates on my Trac-Hacks SVN checkouts, and at least the ones I checked seem to coincide fine.  I guess drag and drop might have been done already, and uses interesting mechanisms for compatibility.  As far as WYSIWYG, I see it was fixed a slightly different way, which I'm glad since sometimes I need extra eyes.

As far as account manager plugin, I have all features working right now that I would normally use (except maybe the configuration wizard).  I'll need to look into making the mods a bit cleaner, and maybe I'll look into converting/testing some features that I find are relatively within my reach.

Thanks again to everyone involved.
