InterTrac Links
(since 0.10)
Definitions
An InterTrac link can be seen as a scoped TracLinks. It is used for referring to a Trac resource (Wiki page, changeset, ticket, …) located in another Trac environment.

Link Syntax
Simply use the name of the other Trac environment as a prefix, followed by a colon, ending with the resource located in the other environment.
<target_environment>:<TracLinks>
The other resource is specified using a regular TracLinks, of any flavor.
That target environment name is either the real name of the
environment, or an alias for it.
The aliases are defined in trac.ini
(see below).
The prefix is case insensitive.
For convenience, there's also an alternative short-hand form,
where one can use an alias as an immediate prefix
for the identifier of a ticket, changeset or report:
(e.g. #T234
, [T1508]
, [trac 1508]
, …)
Examples
It is necessary to setup a configuration for the InterTrac facility:
- in order to refer to a remote Trac
- for defining environment aliases
This is done quite simply in an [intertrac]
section
within the trac.ini
file.
Example configuration:
... [intertrac] # -- Example of setting up an alias: t = trac # -- Link to an external Trac: trac.title = Edgewall's Trac for Trac trac.url = http://projects.edgewall.com/trac
Now, given this configuration, one could create the following links:
- to this InterTrac page:
trac:wiki:InterTrac
trac:wiki:InterTract:wiki:InterTrac
t:wiki:InterTrac- Keys are case insensitive:
T:wiki:InterTrac
T:wiki:InterTrac
- to the ticket #234:
trac:ticket:234
trac:ticket:234trac:#234
trac:#234#T234
#T234
- to the changeset [1912]:
trac:changeset:1912
trac:changeset:1912[T1912]
[T1912]
- to the log range [3300:3330]: whoops, still doesn't work, why?
trac:log:3300:3330
trac:log:3300:3330[trac 3300:3330]
[trac 3300:3330]
The generic form intertrac_prefix:module:id
is translated
to the corresponding URL <remote>/module/id
, shorthand links
are specific to some modules (e.g. #T234 is processed by the
ticket module) and for the rest (intertrac_prefix:something
),
we rely on the TracSearch#quickjump facility of the remote Trac.
Discussion
I think that the trac
prefix could even be set as a default in the [intertrac]
TracIni section. —CB
