Add "New Ticket" message that can be used to warn people it is not a test or demo site.

[anonymous]

A paramter in the ini should be created to provide a message on the Create New Ticket page.

On the projects.edgewall.com/trac site, this message should be a warning that it is not a test or demo site. The warning should include a link to a demo site.

I think people must stumble on the Create New Ticket and don't know better. If people had an opportunity to go to a demo site, I think most would.

I think this is a duplicate of #1961.

It aims to solve the same problem as #1961, although in a more configurable manner.

[Christian Boos]

I think that's a good idea.

What about something like:

[ticket]
new_ticket_policy = "Please check that there isn't already a bug or feature request similar to the one you're about to create. etc."

[Emmanuel Blot]

There are three (IMHO too many) sources for strings displayed to users:

1. ClearSilver templates
2. Python code
3. trac.ini

I would prefer the "template" way: it would give a better leverage to customize the new ticket page. We already have site_header.cs and site_footer.cs, why not a site_newticket.cs ?

[Christian Boos]

Ah, didn't think about that. Yes, a site_newticket.cs seems to be even a better idea.

(the .ini file is really not appropriate for putting multi-line content, that was a "pis aller" :) )

[Christian Boos]

Adds a new default template (site_newticket_policy.cs) and refactored the code to make it easier to add new default templates in the future.

[Christian Boos]

The proposed patch would be useful to have on p.e.c, along with a customized site_newticket_policy.cs informing people that This is not a test system …

[Christopher Lenz]

I don't like requiring an upgrade just to put site-specific template in place. Personally, I remove all the site_*.cs files that I don't use.

I've got a similar change in the queue that doesn't have this problem, and will check it in.

[Christopher Lenz]

Implemented in [2272].
