---------------------------------------------------------------------- To use the TracGantt plugin, please follow these instructions: Edit your Trac config file to add custom fields to tickets, as well as set the expected date format of those fields. The first things to add are the new ticket fields. If you already have a ticket-custom section, append these to it: [ticket-custom] due_assign = text due_assign.label = Due to assign due_assign.value = DD/MM/YYYY dependencies = text dependencies.label = Dependencies dependencies.value = due_close= text due_close.label = Due to close due_close.value = DD/MM/YYYY include_gantt = checkbox include_gantt.label = Include in GanttChart include_gantt.value = This will add four new fields to tickets, a "Due to assign" field, which contains the date by which this ticket should be assigned, a "Dependencies" field, for listing ticket numbers upon which this ticket depends, a "Due to close" field, which contains the date by which this ticket should be closed, and finally a checkbox that allows the ticket to be included in Gantt charts. In addition, TracGantt provides several tweakable configuration knobs that you can use to change the behavior of the gantt charts. They are listed below with their default values. [gantt-charts] # The format of dates entered by humans in the above ticket # fields date_format = %m/%d/%Y # Include the ticket summary in the gantt chart display include_summary = true # Trim the included summary to the given number of characters summary_length = 16 # Use the creation date of a ticket as the "due assign" # date if no assignment date is given use_creation_date = true # Show on the gantt chart the date the ticket was opened, # to contrast with the assignment date. show_opened = true NOTE: If you are placing the module anywhere outside of Trac's standard 'plugins' directory (i.e. to share across Trac instances), then you will also need to add: [components] tracgantt.* = enabled to your Trac config file. Again, this is only necessary if the egg file is placed outside of the Trac 'plugins' folder, in a standard Python search path. If you are using Trac with Apache and mod_python, you may also need to restart Apache, to avoid the plugin being accessible from one Apache process, but not others. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
