You must actually manually add each file like this cvs -d $CVSROOT add [file] then CVSTrac will display the CVS directory that this file resides in. #f2dcdc 305 new active 2004 Apr anonymous 2004 Apr lansil 1 1 css customization Is there scope for the site to be customized using css ? #f2dcdc 336 new active 2004 Aug anonymous 2004 Aug drh 1 1 Missing Fields in CVS Trac PROBLEM Not enough multi line fields SYMPTOM There is only 1 multi line field in the screen 'Create a new Ticket' SOLUTION In order to keep descriptions simple I'd like to have a set of different multi line fields: - Symptom - (Requested)Solution - Steps to Reproduce COMMENT Many people who report an issue make it 1 long story. Using separate fields for each part will force them to clearly state their point. The single line possibilities in 'User-Defined Fields' are not an option. #f2dcdc 369 doc active 2005 Jan anonymous 2005 Jan drh 1 1 Studying the source code Could anybody give me some background on the design philosophy behind cvstrac? I like the software, and I like the idea of writing native CGI applications. So, I started digging in the cvstrac sources to get inspiration. I understand individual lines, but I fail to understand the big picture. What is the guiding principle behind the subdivision in separate files. Usually, you find simple guiding principles, such as: one source file corresponds to one web page (typical in php, asp, asp.net, ...) or corresponds to one abstract data type (such as one table and its related methods, or one memory struct and its related methods, ...), or is otherwise organised around another particular guiding principle, which tremendously facilitates locating particular logic. It turns a source tree into an addressable grid, where you can almost calculate where some logic must be located, and where you can make changes, if needed. What is the guiding principle underlying cvstrac? #f2dcdc 370 new active 2005 Feb anonymous 2005 Feb drh 1 1 Why not to scan the cvs directory to get the reponsitory? Why not scan the cvs directory to get the reponsitory?

It would be nice, when standalone server is launched, if it created a pid file. That way I could easily check from crontab is CVSTrac is still running and restart it if not. #e8e8bd 428 event active 2005 Jun anonymous 2005 Jun drh 1 2 cvstrac does not see modules, which are created via pserver I today installed cvstrac running from inetd under FreeBSD 4.11 from the port. I did setup the cvsroot path and left the module field blank, to see all modules. When browsing cvs from cvstrac I see some modules missing. When checking CVSROOT/history I saw that the missing modules were created remotely via pserver access using cervisia frontend. But I can see other remotely created modules. There are 88 modules in our repository. #f2dcdc 448 new active 2005 Aug anonymous 2005 Aug cpb 1 1 import of svnserve users Attached diff enables _svntrac_ to import users from _svnserve_ users file. This is not equivalent to reading of CVSROOT/passwd since some installations of _Subversion_ don't use _svnserve_ and hence don't have relevant users file. This is not the best solution, but ATM I have no plans to add support for importing users from _{quote: mod_dav_svn}_ . _svntrac_ supports only import of users, and unlike _cvstrac_ , it can't update _svnserve_ users file based on the contents of _svntrac_ db. This limitation is imposed by the fact that passwords are stored encrypted in _svntrac_ db, while they are stored as plain text in _svnserve_ users file. Only way, AFAICT, to support it would be to store plain text passwords in db, but I guess this goes against _cvstrac_ design goals?{linebreak} Though it would be nice to have this "user export" feature since AFAIK there is no way to manage _svnserve_ users other then to edit users file directly. #f2dcdc 475 doc active 2005 Sep drh 2005 Sep drh 1 1 Add wysiwyg editing of wiki and tickets.

CVSTracNT hang Hi - I'm about to pull out my few remaining hairs... installing CVStracNT on a Windows 2003 server machine that has the CVS repository on it - I created a new DB, I can log in as setup but if I try importing users, creating a ticket, rescanning the repository (i.e. any DB writes it seems) I can see a journal file getting created and the process never returns. I have to stop the service and remove the journal file to continue. Has anyone seen this behaviour before? I've tried everything I can think of (permissioning on the db file, on the service - even run it as administrator) Is there some sort of debugging output that can be enabled so I can see what's going on?

However, the tarball download of version 2.0.1 of cvstrac does NOT seem to contain the fixes from [969], therefore a compiled version of this code of cvstrac on MacOS 10.6.1 will still crash with malloc errors.

The portal is responsible for authenticaton and authorization. With the current setup, users have to "double-login" to access the cvstrac, under their own identity. It will help if cvstrac will include the following "Web Authentication" modes (using the REMOTE_USER environment variable). No password will be required for users: *: Everyone: accept any value of REMOTE_USER. If the user does not exists, automatically create the user entry. *: Selective: the REMOTE_USER must match an existing entry in users. #cfe8bd 753 new active 2008 Apr anonymous 2008 Jun cpb 2 3 Customizable workflow A simple work flow would be nice to have. Let's set up a state machine with the status and their out-transitions. new review,ignore review active,new ignore new active fixed fixed reopen,verified reopen fixed verified closed The first column is the status in CVSTrac, and the second column is their out-transition that shows the next status. For the first row, =new review,ignore=, it means the user can only set _new_ ticket to _review_ or _ignore_, the user can not directly fix the ticket without review. So, we may just utilize the status customization page to define the state machine. #e8e8bd 504 new active 2005 Nov anonymous 2014 Feb drh 2 2 Timeline is not saving date in Defaults - VERY annoying! The Timeline feature is interesting, but rendered only half-useful, because it defaults to "today and backward", no matter what the user wants. Entering a future date (e.g. 2020-Jan-01) so that all milestone dates are visible (highly desirable behavior on my entire development team) and clicking "Make Default" does not save the preferred date. I understand that "Make Default" could end up saving today's date and making the feature of dubious use for those who (if there are any) don't want to see future dates in the timeline, so I would propose a checkbox next to "Make Default" that says "include date in saved default", checked "off" by default. I think this single change would improve CVSTrac's overall usefulness by about 20%. Seriously. #e8e8bd 90 new active 2002 Aug anonymous 2002 Aug drh 3 2 Handle different projects in one CVSROOT When more than one project is located under one CVSROOT it is difficult (or impossible) to create an Milestone for an special project.

I usually have two browser tabs open, each showing the CVSTrac timeline for one of the projects. After I've logged in for the second CVSTrac, the a refresh on the first one goes to the login page. Logging in again for the first one causes the second one to be logged out.

Even though the Associated Check-ins text field is 70 wide (why?), it never wants to put a break before it. The W3C Validator said that was invalid. When I remove those tags, it renders fine in Safari. I can attach some screenshots if you want, but for some reason it's not letting me (even thought it said I would be given the opportunity to add one when I created the ticket). #f2dcdc 191 event active 2003 Mar anonymous 2003 Mar drh 3 1 User keeps getting logged out One of my developers keeps getting logged out.

I'm starting to use Wiki on a project and I need to create pages with numbers in name (i.e. SubProj101, SubProj102 etc.).{linebreak} The name is not converted to hyperlink, it appears as the presence of digits violates the coding, but unfortunately a lot of names (especially technical-related) use digits. it could be enough to make a little change in format.c: = Actual = int is_wiki_name(const char *z){ int i; int nCap = 0; if( !isupper(z[0]) ) return 0; for(i=0; z[i]; i++){ if( isupper(z[i]) ){ if( !islower(z[i+1]) ) return 0; nCap++; }else if( !islower(z[i]) ){ break; } } return nCap>=2 && is_eow(&z[i],0) ? i : 0; } = Changed = int is_wiki_name(const char *z){ int i; int nCap = 0; if( !isupper(z[0]) ) return 0; for(i=0; z[i]; i++){ if( isupper(z[i]) ){ if( !(islower(z[i+1]) || isdigit(z[i+1]) ) ) return 0; // <<< nCap++; }else if( !islower(z[i]) ){ break; } } return nCap>=2 && is_eow(&z[i],0) ? i : 0; } Without changes in wiki_expand_name (wiki.c) the expansion will be: SubProj101 -> Sub Proj101, It should be acceptable.{linebreak} BTW: I included code fragments in

To reflect any such changes in the underlying files manually is painful, since there may be multiple files in the checkin, and each could have a different revision number. It would be useful if CVSTrac could (as an option) modify the log message in the underlying ,v files (using the `cvs admin' command, or in some other way). #e8e8bd 299 new active 2004 Mar anonymous 2004 Mar drh 3 2 Add enums for severity and priority The numeric constants (1-5) for severity and priority are a source of confusions for our users - other systems that we have are using different numbering systems. It will help if the "enum" table will be extended to allow the assignment of labels to those levels. There is no need to change the actual coding - the 1-5 level are more than enough. The enums should be edited by the 'setup' user, and should be used for ticket entry and editing. #cacae5 324 new active 2004 May anonymous 2004 May anonymous 3 4 viewcvs/cvsweb compatibility of urls Cvstrac provides a browse capability which is (except for tickets) a strict subset of that provided by viewcvs (most common) and cvsweb (older) products. Many cvs clients assume that viewcvs or cvsweb is available and send GET-style urls to the appropriate web browser. To lessen the need to install viewcvs/cvsweb, an even larger subset of their REST architecture could be implemented. Cvstrac already does much of what cvsweb_etc does: *: directory browsing - cvstrac uses /dir?d=/path . To emulate cvsweb_etc we could use /viewcvs/path *: file download- cvstrac uses /rlog?f=/path.... cvsweb_etc emulation could be /viewcvs/path also. *: file download and versions - cvstrac uses /getfile... cvsweb_etc have either "checkout"/path?rev=.. or ~checkout~/path?rev=.. *: diff-cvstrac uses /filediff?.. cvsweb does /path.diff?r1=..., viewcvs does /path?r1=... Implementation could be simple redirects from a new function hanging off /viewcvs. /path maps to g.zExtra (as in getfile); deciding which to redirect would be based on an examination of /path and a few looks at parameters P(r1), etc. I will look into this. --Derek #e8e8bd 325 new active 2004 May anonymous 2004 May drh 3 2 Make wiki diff configurable The diff output for wiki entries should be configurable - both in terms of diff format (unified format preferred), and the ability to pipe to an external process so pretty output can be displayed. The stuff you already have implemented for the cvs external diff processes would work great for the wiki diff processes. (Note that the external diff config doesn't make clear that it only applies to the cvs part and not the wiki part.) #cfe8bd 503 doc active 2005 Nov anonymous 2005 Nov drh 3 3 A Better "FormattingWikiPages" + 2 wiki bugs I have identified two outright bugs in cvstrac's wiki (probably already documented somewhere else; if not, someone on the cvstrac team should probably ticketize them and assign them to the right people): 1: If the entire link: statement will not fit on one line inside the wiki text editing box, the link command is ignored. 2: * followed by _ then some text then _ followed by * (and vice-versa) to make text both bold and italic don't work, despite everything else being nestable (e.g. *'s around a "quote:" block); the more interior of the two markups is simply interpreted as part of the "word" the exterior markup is affecting. A third issue (a misfeature) is that use of html and /html to insert arbitrary HTML code introduces a bogus, worse-than-useless linebreak, which makes the html wikicommand only usuable on large blocks of stuff, instead of inline in the middle of a sentence of whatever. That said, I was in the process of modifying my local copy of FormattingWikiPages to deal with problem no. 1 above, and just decided to overhaul the entire thing, as a way of giving back. There were several details in the editing hints at the bottom of the page when editing any wiki page, that were not in the FormattingWikiPages documents, at least one typo, inconsistent use of bold to highlight wiki markup commands, unclear phrasing in several places, and a number of other issues. So, here is my take on it, use any of it that you like. I did implement big "WARNING:" bits about bugs and other problems, that of course should come out of this version of the wikitext if you want to use it, and the issues get resolved by then. ;-) PS: If posting the wikitext into this ticket mangles it in some way, drop me a line and I'll e-mail you a copy. The preview I just did seems to indicate that cvstrack will render all the wiki commands even inside a ticket, so you can't see the wikisource. I should probably e-mail it. ***************************************************************************************** **Paragraphs** Use *one or more blank lines* to separate paragraphs. You can arbitrarily wrap text within a paragraph (or not bother to wrap it at all), _except_ that {quote:{link:}} commands cannot line wrap; see below for more details. **Indentation of Code** If the first line of a paragraph begins with a *tab* or with *two or more spaces*, then that whole paragraph is shown verbatim (that is, within
...
markup in HTML, including the constant-width font with all spacing and line breaks preserved) The formatting rules below _do not apply_ to verbatim paragraphs (other than {quote:}, as explained next). See "Lists", below, for how to indent without
 behavior.  **HTML**  You can insert arbitrary HTML into a wiki page, by surrounding the code to be inserted with  *{quote:""}* and *{quote:""}*.  Warning: Because text between {quote:"" and ""} is  interpreted as HTML, _even inside verbatim paragraphs_, if you need to use the string "{quote:<}html>" in sample code, you must wiki it as "{quote:{quote:}}", or your  sample code will be parsed and rendered instead of displayed as written.  This does not affect , nor other HTML or XML markup, just "{quote:}".  **Boldface and Italics**  Text contained between asterisks is rendered *bold.* If you use two or three asterisks in a row, instead of just one, the bold text is also shown at a larger point size. Text between underscores is rendered as an _italics._ All font style markers must start at the beginning of a word (a contiguous text string) and must finish at the end of a word within the same paragraph.  You cannot use both at once.  However, you can acheive the desired effect like so:{linebreak} {quote:Italicized bold text}{linebreak} but at the cost of a linebreak inserted before the text marked up this way.  **Lists**  If a line begins with the characters "*{quote:*:}*" followed by a space or tab, then that line becomes an item in a bullet list.  Similarly, if the line begins with "*N:*" (where N is any number including a multi-digit number, or 0) then the line becomes an item in an enumeration list. Enumeration items are automatically renumbered so the values of N do not need to be in ascending order.  Lines that begin with "*{quote:_:}*" are indented like a bullet list but do not display the bullet.  You can use this to indent without getting monospaced fonts and other behaviors of 
.  Make nested lists by adding colons.  For example, to make a second level bullet, begin the line with "*{quote:*::}*".  **Hyperlinks**  Links to other pages are created automatically whenever the *name of another wiki page* is mentioned in the text.  (See WikiPageNames.) If you want to put a CamelCase word in your text but you do not want it to become a hyperlink, enclose the name in "{quote: {quote: ...}}".   This auto-linking does not happen inside indented verbatim paragraphs.  Full *URLs* in the text, such as links to external sites, also automatically become links, but see below for special handling of image links.  Such auto-links are created for any URL beginning with "http:", "https:", "ftp:", or "mailto:", without having to use the {quote:{link:}} functionality documented below.   *Note:* If the URL ends with ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".gif", or ".png" then the image that the URL points to is displayed inline on the wiki page.  You can also create an inline image using markup like this: "{quote: {image: URL}}". Using the {quote: {image:...}} markup allows the image URL to be relative.  This allows an image stored in an attachment to be displayed inline.  Text of the form "*#NNN*" where the "NNN" is a valid ticket number becomes a hyperlink to the ticket.  Text of the form "*[NNN]*" where "NNN" is a valid check-in or milestone number becomes a hyperlink to that check-in or milestone.  These hyperlinks only work if the user has permission to read tickets, check-ins, and/or milestones.  To create a hyperlink on arbitrary text, use "*{quote: {link: ...}}*" markup.  Any text of the form:  "{quote: {link: URL PHRASE}}" displays PHRASE as hyperlink to URL.  Example:{linebreak} {quote: {link: http://www.google.com Google}} = {link: http://www.google.com Google}{linebreak} The URL can be an absolute URL beginning with a prefix like "http:", or it can be a relative URL referring to another page within the same CVSTrac server.  For example, to create a link to a ticket report, one might write: "{quote: {link: rptview?rn=1 Active Tickets}}".  Warning: The {quote:{link:}} mechanism cannot handle long links. If the entire {quote:{link:}} command will not fit onto one line in the wiki editing text box, the link will get mangled. If this happens, use http://tinyurl.com to create a shorter, redirect URL.  **Horizontal Lines**  A horizontal line (the 
markup of HTML) is generated whenever four or more "-" or "=" characters appear on a line by themselves:{linebreak} *{quote: ----}* **Other Markup Rules** The special markup "*{quote: {linebreak}}*" will be rendered as a line break or hard return. The content of "*{quote: {quote: ...}}*" markup is shown verbatim, including wiki commands, e.g.:{linebreak} {quote: {quote: {quote: ...}}} ---- #cfe8bd 509 doc active 2005 Nov cpb 2005 Nov cpb 3 3 need online help/user manual There's a lot of features in CVSTrac that people don't know about at first glance because, well, there's no documentation about actually _using_ it. #cfe8bd 513 new active 2005 Nov anonymous 2005 Nov cpb 3 3 svntrac should support more than one svn repository To be functional comparable with cvstrac, svntrac should support somthing like a parent_svn_dir and include all svn repos in this directory.

This is a fairly common configuration, specially when you are trying to make cvstrac appear as a logical part of a larger site. When serving up a RSS feed, however, cvstrac embeds absolute URLs to the proxied server's URL rather than the user-visible one. The following patch fixes this in my environment (we use Dan Bernstein's {link: http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html UCSPI-TCP} rather than inetd to manage connections). It does make the assumption that mod_proxy's =X-Forwarded-Host:= header (the one sent by the browser) will come after the =Host:= header generated by mod_proxy. It is quite likely cvstrac configured to use CGI will need equivalent patching elsewhere to get the same information from an environment variable.

The program would use a MD5 checksum to avoid rerunning graphviz if it had already been run on the exact same text (the attachment would be in effect a cache). To do this, the program needs: *: the name of the SQLite database (=%B= ?) (although that could be hardcoded in the custom markup declaration) *: the name of the wiki entry or ticket (e.g. =%W=) so it knows which entry to attach it to. *: optionally a list of attachments to the wiki page (=%A= ?) These two substitutions would make truly powerful block markups easier. In the meantime, I will leverage the fact SQLite does not enforce referential integrity to attach the generated PNG nowhere. #cfe8bd 663 new active 2006 Sep cpb 2006 Dec cpb 3 3 check-in diffs (and other things) should have a maxmimum size So a colleague checked in a large number of data files.

Ive got a testing instance going so i'm going to go and probably break it a few times but in the meantime I figured it wouldn't hurt to seek your input.

How can we know about your next release? Practically, it is highly _impossible_ to check each and every day about new release in the internet. Do you have any other approach, in such a way that we'll get the periodic information about cvstrac new release. #cfe8bd 778 new active 2009 Jan anonymous 2009 Jan 3 3 Timeline report: list items and/or commit by one or more usernames It would be very useful to see the (very useful) timeline report by user or list of users (e.g. in some delimited manner). A box in the bottom section would be good for this. Couple of years back, i patched the code in an old cvstrac version to do this, but it would be useful if this was supported in the main release. thx #cfe8bd 770 new active 2008 Nov anonymous 2009 Feb cpb 3 3 reuse the svn revision number in "chng" table The change number in SVNTrac is separated.

As I understand this is a security feature, when used for an intranet, this can be a limitation. It would be usefull to set the list of the allowed tags through a setup page in order to adjust to each situation's security requirements. As an example, we would like to create a new markup that generates a

Cvstrac responds correctly to requests like /admin/cvstrac/project1 and /admin/cvstrac/project2. When passed the request /admin/cvstrac it displays the error page. I recommend that cvstrac respond with either an index of available projects or a static HTML page. #cacae5 158 new active 2002 Dec anonymous 2002 Dec drh 4 4 Make ticket page a Wiki page with generalised meta-formatting If the Wiki supported keywords like {SQL: command }, then it would be possible to create Wiki pages that interface with the database. In this scheme, a ticket page might be written in the Wiki like (I don't know any SQL yet): Ticket {SQL: ITEM.number }: ticket dependencies and estimated duration {SQL: ITEM.description } Remarks: {SQL: ITEM.remarks } And editing the page will bring up edit blocks which feed the data back into the database, like the Create New Ticket page. The same idea could apply to reports, so the generated report page could also have an "edit" tag, which brings up the same information in edit blocks for editing the database contents. This would let me perform tasks like create a report for all entries older than 4 weeks along with their priority levels, click [Edit] and directly modify all their priority levels. This would mean that Ticket pages are just Wiki pages with meta structural information, and all Wiki pages can extract and modify SQL database information.

I was trying to edit a page on the SQLite Wiki. When I clicked on "Preview Your Changes" I got the editing page back, not the preview. I tried the same thing on Mozilla. The preview worked fine. I submitted the edit and that worked fine too. Then, back in Opera, I went to the cvstrac wiki to create this ticket and had the same problem. Clicking on "Preview Your Changes" just brought the edit page back. Finally, I went back to Mozilla where I've been able to successfully create this ticket. #c8c8c8 303 new active 2004 Mar anonymous 2004 Mar drh 4 5 Milestone and ticket hotlists. Referencing tickets by id can be cumbersome when composing a new ticket. Typically it requires a separate browser tab to search the database. Since some tickets and milestones are referenced more than others it would make sense to make their ids and summaries available when composing a new ticket. If a new column were added to the milestones and tickets tables called hot, by checkmarking the hot column on the edit page for the ticket they could be added to a 'hotlist'. Whenever a field was presented that accepted a list of dependancies (such as the depends on field and the associated check-ins field on the edit ticket page a combo box next to the field could list all 'hotlist' ticket numbers and check-ins. When the page was submitted the entries in the combo box would be merged with the input in the text field. I think this would be particularly useful when designing with milestones, since all milestone check-ins could be marked "hot" and then when reviewing tickets I could target them for a particular release by selecting the version number from the list. Combined with suggestion #302 this would make using the timeline and milestones to plan the future direction of the project much more effective. #cfe8bd 317 new active 2004 May anonymous 2004 May drh 4 3 provide simple test mechanism for email notification I have throughly tested a CVSTrac mail notification script I downloaded and customized (going so far as to run it with fake input as the webserver user. It seems to work fine, except I am receiving no CVSTrac mails, and logging does not appear to work (next bug). It may be relevant to consider actually integrating email notification into the next release, or at least packaging scripts that do mailing which are known to work under a variety of circumstances. #cacae5 332 new active 2004 Jun anonymous 2004 Jun drh 4 4 Shortcuts to favourite reports in the cvstrac page header First: what a great thing cvstrac is. Just right for what I need. Nice to look at as well. Thanks a lot for it! Here's my (minor) quibble: I have a few report types I often use and I find myself having to go to the reports page and then click the report I like there. This always feels like a little detour... ;-) If each report had a check-box 'show in favourites', those reports (with the box checked) could be displayed in an area just below the blue page header box (or in an extra line inside the box). That would allow quick access to these reports. Saves one page-load every time (the load of the 'reports' page). #cfe8bd 361 new active 2004 Dec anonymous 2005 Aug drh 4 3 localisation Hi,

I am interested in a german localisation of cvstrac. Therefore would do the translationwork!

It would be nice to see plain text sourced out to an file #cacae5 450 new active 2005 Aug cpb 2005 Aug cpb 4 4 append remarks could be smarter I'm starting to see where remark handling could be enhanced to have some concept of "replying" to a particular comment. Nothing as sophisticated as message threading, but maybe just filling in with the original remarks text. Something to help out in building context... This would require some way for the ticket formatter to distinguish between individual remark sections... #cacae5 479 new active 2005 Sep anonymous 2005 Sep drh 4 4 Source code files should have remarks/attachments Source code should allow for remarks and attachments to be associated with a particular file. While this sort of thing could be put into the code itself, it generally is not, since it may bother the writer. And even if it were, only programmers would be able to do so. In general, there are 5 types of things in cvstrac: tickets, remarks, attachments, source code files, and wiki pages. Tickets seem to be first-class objects (#123 anywhere refers to a ticket), and Wiki pages seem to be becoming that as well. Remarks and atachments are associated only with a particular ticket or wiki page. But source code seems completely unrelated to these. Does the viewer highlight Ticket references or WikiNames in the code? It probably should not because it may make a mistake. At the same time, associating external documentation with a source file seems valuable. (One could conceive of this becoming a full-featured Literate Programming methodology). I would think that the implementation of this would be to have options on the rlog view such as: the number of attachments, number of remarks, number of tickets against a particular file, a link to the annotate/blame view (Ticket #183), #cacae5 488 new active 2005 Sep anonymous 2005 Sep cpb 4 4 Enhancing derivedfrom (and providing backward compatibility) Currently, we used derivedfrom to record external references as to where where a ticket was derived from (e.g. change request - CRxxx etc) as well as references to other tickets (1.1.4 didn't really state otherwise) . This functionality has now changed in 1.2 . Additionally, derivedfrom can currently only reference one other ticket. I am requesting comments on the suitability of the following changes for inclusion in CVStrac (I'll do the work - however, I don't want to have to maintain my own version and will just use an 'extra' field if the following is not acceptable). *: Add additional xref table for derivedfrom tickets references. *: Preserve derivedfrom field as entered in webform for further display. *: Scan derived from field for any number or #number which hasn't been prefixed or sufixed with letters. Store these references in the new xref table. *: Use xref table to look up derived tickets for use in the ticket view #cacae5 549 new active 2006 Jan anonymous 2006 Jan drh 4 4 Wish: trigger on Wiki changes (e.g. for mail) My team would really appreciate a mail notification on wiki changes. Also, the permission system is great; but still, every Wiki webmaster needs to take measures against illegal content and vandalism.
