Description

would be nice to have more contents and details in the rss feed.

The Bucktracker Bugdar has a nice layout for RSS Feeds

see e.g. (with a rss reader) http://www.bluestatic.org/bugs/syndicate.php

  • keywords timelinle added

Screenshots to illustrate the difference between the two systems. I assume the ticket author means adding more context by showing more ticket properties in the feed, right?

  • keywords timeline added; timelinle removed

oops, fix typo

yes indeed. more details..

thx sid for the screenshots!

would be nice to have a template file or string where the user can customize the format of the rss feed.

all the variables of a ticket should be accessible in the format.

maybe we should have different rss templates for all kinds of trac items (ticket/changeset/..), because we have less information about a changeset in comparison to a ticket

I'm strongly in favor of this suggestion; the RSS feed is often missing vital context information (especially for changesets).

  Changed 15 months ago by markus.staab@…

if you change the rss format, you should think about the following:

if a ticket appears on the main TRAC RSS Feed there should be also a link to the Ticket RSS Feed in it

  • version set to 0.10.4

+1 for more contextual details in the RSS feed (just like currently exists in emails).

-1 for making this customizable.

  • keywords consider added
  • milestone set to 0.12

Maybe for 0.12.

Similar to the request of having the list of files in for the changeset entries. We could have perhaps a verbose flag for the timeline RSS.

Having the relevant ticket details in RSS feeds from custom queries seems a must, though.

Also, it appears that new comments to tickets do not appear in the timeline, which is a major omission.

Replying to Ace_NoOne:

You simply forget to enable the matching option (ticket details) in your project configuration. Please check out TracIni.

Oh, I had totally missed that one - thanks! (Sorry for accidentally abusing this for support queries... )
