Description

Custom fields often require additional explanations for developers. It is possible to resolve this problem by adding popups that will appear when user points mouse over a custom field.

Attached patch provides a solution for this problem:

  • In trac.ini, new property field.hint can be used;
  • In generated HTML, hints are implemented using HTML title attribute.

Milestone: 0.11

Feel free to implement earlier…

Milestone: 0.110.12

0.12 I meant (i.e. not necessarily for 0.11, but why not if done part of the workflow changes…)

Keywords: patch added
Milestone: 0.130.12
Owner: changed from Jonas Borgström to Remy Blank

The patch above adds the .hint option to custom ticket fields, and if present, adds a title attribute to the control corresponding to the field. Radio buttons are grouped in a <span> to set the title for all at once.

I forgot to update the unit tests. Here's the complete patch.

I like the idea of hints - they are useful. However, I'm very unsure about adding features for custom fields until we have an idea about what the future holds for fields in general (0.13+ seems to have field refactoring on the agenda):

  • We would then have hints for custom fields, but not for regular fields.
  • 0.12 translates labels for regular fields, but not custom fields.
  • Hints (as all help) should be translatable in some way…

Milestone: 0.120.13

Re-scheduling for 0.13, as this could be in the way of i18n.

#925 may be related, and maybe a solution using javascript at http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/BlackMagicTicketTweaksPlugin

I've created a more general version of this patch (usable for all ticket fields, not just for custom fields). It's tracked here: #9648

This is indeed a much improved version of the patch here. Closing as a duplicate of #9648.
