I'd like to register my interest in this as a user - we've only just installed Trac and already our users want this feature! If you can provide it, it would be seriously appreciated.

Hello - I've put up a rudimentary BackLinks macro at the MacroBazaar.

[anonymous]

In Trac, (a subset of) the BackLinks should be displayed by default in conjunction with a ticket or change set. This would be better than explicitly including a list of BackLinks with a macro (or requesting BackLinks via a search form).

Candidates for automatically displayed BackLinks are:

• All other tickets referencing some ticket.
• All change sets referencing some ticket.
• All tickets referencing some change set.
• All change sets referencing another change set.

Actually, the suggested automatically displayed BackLinks are available by the way of TracCrossReferences.

Postponed to 1.0.

I hacked in a "automatic" back links feature using the BackLinks macro found in the MacroBazaar.

First I created a "BackLinks" wiki page with just simply the following code:

[[BackLinks()]]

Then I modified the BackLinks macro a bit:

13c13,14
<
---
>         if thispage == 'BackLinks':
>             thispage = hdf.getValue('args.referer', thispage)

And finally I added this line to the ctxtnav section of wiki.cs template:

<li><a href="<?cs var:$trac.href.wiki ?>/BackLinks?referer=<?cs var:$wiki.page_name ?>">Back Links</a></li>

This will add a "Back Links" link to the top navigation bar of all wiki pages and clicking that link will show a new page with all BackLinks to the page.

sorry for "question-spamming", but why postpone this (as far as i can judge) near-trivial feature?

when to expect 1.0? 3 years from now? (if one looks at the roadmap of completed milestones...)

It is far from trivial. If you disagree, please feel free to contribute a patch.
