Change of Ticket template doesn't work

[li.jie@…]

I tried to enlarge rows of description field by modifying newticket.cs, however, it doesn't work. Here is what I did:modify value of rows from 15 to 45 in /usr/share/trac/template/newticket.cs: <textarea id="description" name="description" class="wikitext"rows="45" cols="78"> Then go Trac project, click "New Tickets", the description field does not change at all.

Since Trac 0.11, the template engine changed from ClearSilver to ​Genshi. Modifying your old 0.10 .cs template files is therefore pointless.

You should instead modify the Genshi templates:

• statically, by changing the template files themselves in your environment's templates directory
• dynamically, by writing a plugin implementing ITemplateStreamFilter, which is then able to transform the structured output while it is produced. See for example source:tags/trac-0.11/sample-plugins/ticket_clone.py​.

The latter method is the preferred one, as it has better chances to adapt to changes to the template as you upgrade Trac.

P.S.: in 0.11 the newticket.cs and ticket.cs have been merged into a single ticket.html template. If you used to know well ClearSilver, you can look at TracDev/PortingFromClearSilverToGenshi for a conversion tutorial.

Or,

• Create a site.html and write your html transformation there - see TracInterfaceCustomization#SiteAppearance
