Documentation for macros in 0.11

[dharris <dharris+trac@…>]

Short version:

Please update TracDev/ReleaseNotes/0.11 with information about the changes to macros.

Longer version:

I've recently installed 0.11 and noticed that the TimeStamp macro is not working. After researching on the trac site, I see that there's a significant changes to the macro system in 0.11, but I don't see any user-level documentation about this.

Please add something to the release notes and/or the WikiMacros page to discuss how to use macros in 0.11

[dharris <dharris+trac@…>]

Working from example code on the MacroBazaar, I've created 0.11 versions of the Timestamp and HelloWorld example macros. I will attach them to this ticket.

Perhaps they can be used:

• in the code base for new examples
• as a base for the macro documentation

HelloWorld macro for use in 0.11 trac

Timestamp macro for use in trac 0.11

Have you checked out trunk/wiki-macros/README and trunk/sample-plugins/Timestamp.py​ ?

I've tested the latest trunk with this macro and it works fine.

[Christian Boos]

Not much remaining to be done - maybe include the source:trunk/sample-plugins/HelloWorld.py​ in the WikiMacros page for 0.11 and remove the section about old-style macros?

[martin.marcher@…]

I just created wiki:Trac0.11/TracMacros as well as wiki:Trac0.11 and wiki:0.11 with the TitleIndex macros so that Information can be found easier.

Also it seems that there is confusion wether to start documenting 0.11 under wiki:Trac0.11 or wiki:0.11 as both have starter content for documentation

Ok, understood. Try adding a comment to say you're not just another anonymous in this case. Have you tried the "email setting" tip to prevent from being considered as a spammer?
