Can I use query parameters in report descriptions?

Feb 23, 2021, 8:25 AM

Post #1 of 5 (728 views)

I have a Trac report which is a task list. It filters to the user with

WHERE owner = '$USER'

Any user sees their task list with no qualifier but I can link to
`/trac/report/1?USER=bob` to see Bob's list.

The report description has links like:

Other tasks are in the [report:3 backlog].

Is there a way I can use `$USER` in the description so if I start out
looking at Bob's task list I click through to his backlog? Something like
`[report:3?USER=$USER backlog]`, except I can't get that to work.

Chris

P.S. I should probably mention I'm stuck back in Trac 1.0.1. Some day I'll
have time to upgrade.

It works on 1.0-stable and later, as demonstrated by report 7: My Tickets
https://trac.edgewall.org/demo-1.0/report/7?USER=user1
https://trac.edgewall.org/demo-1.2/report/7?USER=user1

I confirm it doesn't work with Trac 1.0.1 though. That was released in
early 2013, we've done a bit of work on Trac since then :)

I must have patched my 1.0.1, then, because what you show in those
examples works for me, too. But what I want it to be able to *also*
use the `USER` in the report *description* to modify a link to another
report.

Dynamic variables can also be used in the report title and description
(since 1.1.1).

This report demonstrates the use of the automatically set
`USER` dynamic variable, replaced with the username of the
logged in user when executed. The current user is $USER.

=>
Is that what you are looking for?

Let me know if you need some help upgrading. It seems like that would solve
a lot of your needs.

Yes, I'm sure it is.

I need time more than I need help. ;-) Help, too, don't get me wrong but
my team and I have a deep backlog and three active projects. I find myself
pitching in with them instead of keeping Trac up. :-( And I have so many
patches and plugins that upgrading is rarely easy.

Thanks, though.
