    v176 v177  
    116116Great software. Is there a guide on hacking the templates?
    117117------------------------------------------------------------------
    118 FIXME: I have no idea. ;-)
    119 
    120 I haven't found one but, according to `this post`_ to the trac list, the templates are stored here::

    135131How do I reliably create backups of my Trac environment?
    136132------------------------------------------------------------------
    137 With the `TracAdmin`:trac: command ''hotcopy''. See `TracBackup`:trac: for documentation, however this is not available in 0.7.1 but only in newer versions.

    223 How to remove a page from the Wiki?
     220How do I remove a page from the Wiki?
    224221---------------------------------------------------------
    225 This, as well as other Wiki management features, will be included in our next release, Trac 0.8.
    226 
    227 The trac-admin utility will have the ability to remove Wiki pages like so:
     222Users with the WIKI_DELETE permission can click the "Delete Page" button at the bottom of the page.
     223
     224The trac-admin utility can also remove Wiki pages like so:
    228225
    229226::
    230227
    231228    trac-admin <yourprojenv> wiki remove PageName
    232 
    233 FIXME: how does one link to a Roadmap?
    234 
    235 Could the Wiki perhaps get a RecentChanges page, showing the changed pages in anti-chronological order?
    236 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    237 The timeline_ contains information about all the changes to Trac content. By deselecting the *view ticket changes* and *view repository checkins* boxes you can view only the Wiki changes.

    241 
    242 I get the following error message when editing a wiki page with Trac 0.6.1:
    243 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    244 ::

    249 SQLite_ version 2.8.13 has a bug in the max() function. Either downgrade/upgrade sqlite or replace trac/Wiki.py with this file: Wiki.py_

    264 Is it possible to insert a Wiki command in which would let you see all the pages which are linked to or reference the current page?
    265 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    266 That would be useful. To me.
     240How do I see all pages that link to the current page?
     241-----------------------------------------------------
     242Currently you can use a 3rd party BackLinks_ `WikiMacro`:trac: to do this
     243
     244There is also ticket `#611`:trac: requesting this feature in Trac.

     248Is there a way to remove an attached file from a page?
     249------------------------------------------------------
     250
     251Users with WIKI_DELETE permissions can delete attachments.  To do this, login as the privileged user, click on the attachment.  The attachment page will now have a "Delete Attachment" button you can use to delete the attachment.  Note that is an irreversible operation.
     252
     253Is there a way to edit attachments?
     254-----------------------------------
     255
     256Could I download attached file,  update it and upload it back with same name? See related `#948`:trac:.
    267257
    268258Can I directly add questions to this Wiki FAQ?
    269259----------------------------------------------
    270 Yes, you can! Just click *Edit this page* at the bottom of the page.
     260Yes, you can! However, please don't add unanswered questions.  Good places to ask questions
     261are the `MailingList`:trac: and the `IrcChannel`:trac:. 
     262
     263Just click *Edit this page* at the bottom of the page.
    271264Be aware that this page is written using reStructuredText_, so
    272265you may want to check `WikiRestructuredText`:trac: first...

    280273I guess you would get an answer rapidly if you added a malicious contribution, and you just might get a bruise.
    281274
    282 Can I let the anonymous user edit only certain pages?
    283 -----------------------------------------------------
    284 FIXME: new question
    285 
    286 Can I restrict the anonymous user to only the start page?
    287 ---------------------------------------------------------
    288 To answer my own question - it doesn't look possible.  See the "login page" thread on the mailing lists. 
    289 
    290 Is there a way to view nested html pages inside the subversion repository as html and not as html source?
    291 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    371354How can I associate usernames (e.g. for assigned tickets) with email addresses for notification?
    372355-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    373 FIXME: I'd really like to know....  Can Trac automatically relate user "joesmith" to email address "joesmith@myorg.com", so that we don't have to manually add CC: entries?
    374 
    375 How do I get notifications on a particular ticket without adding a comment?
    376 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    377 And why does a section have to have some text in it?
     356In version 0.9 Trac will use the email address from the Settings page for authenticated users.

     414Is the Database schema available anywhere?
    436415------------------------------------------
    437 
    438 Yes you can find it here_.
    439 
    440 .. _here: http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/file/trunk/trac/db_default.py?rev=latest
     416In Trac 0.8.x and below the schema is available in http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/file/branches/0.8-stable/trac/db_default.py
     417
     418Trac no longer has the schema in plain SQL since it was necessary to abstract the table creation
     419in order to support other database platforms.  However, the structure in db_default.py_ still provides
     420a representaion of the schema.

    460 Are there similar systems for CVS?
    461 ----------------------------------
    462 
    463 
    464 CVSTrac is a similar but far simpler system which can track a CVS repository. It
    465 doesn't (IMO) look as nice as trac and migrating from CVS to subversion is easy, but a lot of the CVSTrac functionality is similar to trac. Go here:
    466 
    467     http://www.cvstrac.org/
    468 
    469 
    470 And for Arch?
    471 ----------------------------------
    472 FIXME: New question.
    473 
    474 More generally, is there an extensible repository plugin architecture so that tools like OpenCM_ could be used?
    475 .. _OpenCM: http://www.opencm.org

    477 FIXME: New Question
    478 
    479 Is there a way to remove an attached file from a page?
    480 ------------------------------------------------------
    481 
    482 Users with WIKI_DELETE permissions can delete attachments.  To do this, login as the privileged user, click on the attachment.  The attachment page will now have a "Delete Attachment" button you can use to delete the attachment.  Note that is an irreversible operation.

    493 
     442Can I use Trac with other version control systems (CVS, Arch, etc.)?
     443------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     444
     445Currently only Subversion is supported, but Trac will probably support other systems in the future.  See discussion of this on `VersioningSystemBackend`:trac:
     446
     447Also, CVSTrac_ is a similar, but far simpler system which can track a CVS repository

     450
     451
     452Can I use LDAP to manager user accounts?
     453----------------------------------------
     454Apache supports LDAP authentication with mod_auth_ldap_.  You can use this in place of the other authenticate methods used in the installation guides.
     455
     456However, you can't currently use LDAP to manage your Trac groups and permissions.
     457There is discussion on a possible patch for this, as well as general information on LDAP authentication here: http://anciens.enib.fr/trac/public/wiki/TracLdap
     458
