timeline RSS feed: items for created tickets have the same content for <title> and <description>

[Florent Angebault <fangebault@…>]

Currently, in the RSS feed for the timeline page, an <item> element corresponding to a new ticket contains the following information:

<item>
  <title>Ticket #N (task created): "Ticket's short summary"</title>
  ...
  <description>"Ticket's short summary"</description>
</item>

It would be nicer and more useful to put the full description of the ticket into the <description> element, like this:

<item>
  <title>Ticket #N (task created): "Ticket's short summary"</title>
  ...
  <description>"Ticket's full description"</description>
</item>

I think I need to update a bit the TimelineEvent object, to make it more flexible when used in different templates - the html ones and the rss one.

A related issue is that in the RSS feed, the titles of changeset event are now lacking the commit log message because it's already present in the description…

This was fixed in r5417, I'll close the ticket upon branch merge.

Replying to cboos:

cboos, is this still fixed? I suppose that changet was from 'Timeline-Refactoring Take 1'?

Yes, the <description> for a new ticket always contains the ticket description text. This was fixed in r6158.

How that text is formatted depends on:

• [timeline] newticket_formatter:
  • if set to default, it will do a full wiki formatting of the description
  • if set to oneliner, it will do a one-liner wiki formatting (i.e. ignore the block-level markup and macros content),
• [timeline] abbreviated_messages: if set, the message will be shortened before being parsed

See TracIni#timeline-section for more details.
