Timeline default_daysback change not effective

[sromanow@…]

I have a pretty vanilla trac install that was upgraded from 10.4 to 11.1 by source tarball. I tried to cut the timeline view back from 7 to 3, but even after restarting apache, the change doesn't seem to take effect.

I asked on the irc chat and checked both mailing lists but didn't see anything relevant.

This install is:

• running on rhel 5.2
• python 2.4
• postgresql db

Does this change require an tracadmin env upgrade?

relevant part of trac.ini

[timeline]
changeset_long_messages = false
changeset_show_files = 0
default_daysback = 3
ticket_show_details = true

This may be a non-issue. The default_daysback appears to not override what the user has selected.

If I change my daysback to 3, it sticks, even for new browser logins. Sorry, didn't realize this was stored per user.

If this is working correctly and I just misunderstood, pls just close it.

Yeah, timeline filters are remembered in each users' session attributes. default_daysback should work fine for anonymous users or new users who haven't already set something different for that value.
