The Macro Bazaar

Looking for fresh macro goodness for your Trac installation? Have you written a clever macro you're dying to share with the world? This is the place.

The macro bazaar is for sharing information about user-developer macros, links to source code and requests.

Note: Please state your name, email, and version of Trac your macro is developed for.

UserChanges

Trivial change of the RecentChanges macro that only displays the recently changed pages for a specified user. Usage:

[[UserChange(username)]]
 or
[[UserChange(username, # of last modified pages to display)]]

BackLinks

First stab at a macro that displays all wiki pages linking to a specified page name.

Usage:

[[BackLinks(pagename)]]

I'd really like it to default to displaying backlinks to the current page when a page name isn't supplied, but, um, I have no idea how to do that :)

Requests, misc

Requests, comments, etc go here.

Simpler wiki markup as commonly used in emails, like

• *bold*
• /italics/
• lines starting with space render as code (preformatted text)
• static timestamp command

---

Markup for "Table of Contens" of the page (from headings) like Twiki.org has.

---

Comment plugin, to allow add comments to page without full edit. There are fancy comment plugins allowing custom formatting, but even plain text would improve usability a lot. Face it, many people are afraid to EDIT, but will add comments if it's simple.

​Fancy example ​Simple comments

---

I'll gladly explain in more details and help you (using Twiki/perl, starting with Trac/python), email me: pmasiar1 (at) yahoo (dot) com

---

A BackLinks feature would be useful, and is a requirement to use WikiBadges, afaik (already requested in tickets #611 and #646)
