Use templates from the wiki when creating a new milestone

Description

This plugin allows you to create a new milestone using styling and information from a given template. For example your template may contain a predefined TicketQuery.

Additionally there is a preview of the milestone description (where you may use WikiFormatting) for Trac 1.0 and 1.2. Note that Trac 1.4 implements a preview out of the box.

Milestone Templates

Any wiki page with a name starting with MilestoneTemplates/ can be used as a template. This works in a similar way as wiki page templates work, see PageTemplates.

Examples for milestone template names:

• MilestoneTemplates/MyMilestoneTemplate
• MilestoneTemplates/Sprint
• MilestoneTemplates/Release

When creating a new milestone you may use a dropdown list for selecting a template:

The contents of the template is used for the milestone description on creation. Note that the dropdown list is only available after creation of one or more template pages.

Milestone templates may use the variable $MILESTONE for inserting the chosen milestone name into the description. This may be useful if the template contains a TracQuery with milestone parameter.

Add the following to your template page to create a list of tickets for the new milestone:

[[TicketQuery(max=5,status=closed,milestone=$MILESTONE,format=table,col=resolution|summary|milestone)]]

Parameters:

max

the maximum number of tickets to display

status

show only tickets with the given status

milestone

show tickets for the milestone with the given name. $MILESTONE will be replaced with the actual name.

format

use the given format to display the tickets

col

control what columns to display for each ticket

Preview Milestone Description

You may use WikiFormatting in a milestone description. This plugin shows a preview of the description:

In this example a TicketQuery is inserted in the description and the result shown in the preview area.
