= The Trac Configuration File = [[TracGuideToc]] == Global Configuration == In versions prior to 0.11, the global configuration was by default located in `$prefix/share/trac/conf/trac.ini` or sometimes /etc/trac/trac.ini depending on the distribution. If you're upgrading, you may want to specify that file to inherit from. Global options will be merged with the environment-specific options, where local options override global options. The options file is specified as follows: {{{ [inherit] file = /usr/share/trac/conf/trac.ini }}} Note that you can also specify a global option file when creating a new project, by adding the option `--inherit=/path/to/global/options` to [TracAdmin trac-admin]'s `initenv` command. If you would not do this but nevertheless intend to use a global option file with your new environment, you would have to go through the newly generated conf/trac.ini file and delete the entries that would otherwise override those set in the global file. == Reference == This is a brief reference of available configuration options. [[TracIni()]] == [components] == #components-section This section is used to enable or disable components provided by plugins, as well as by Trac itself. The component to enable/disable is specified via the name of the option. Whether its enabled is determined by the option value; setting the value to `enabled` or `on` will enable the component, any other value (typically `disabled` or `off`) will disable the component. The option name is either the fully qualified name of the components or the module/package prefix of the component. The former enables/disables a specific component, while the latter enables/disables any component in the specified package/module. Consider the following configuration snippet: {{{ [components] trac.ticket.report.ReportModule = disabled webadmin.* = enabled }}} The first option tells Trac to disable the [wiki:TracReports report module]. The second option instructs Trac to enable all components in the `webadmin` package. Note that the trailing wildcard is required for module/package matching. See the ''Plugins'' page on ''About Trac'' to get the list of active components (requires `CONFIG_VIEW` [wiki:TracPermissions permissions].) See also: TracPlugins == [ticket-custom] == #ticket-custom-section In this section, you can define additional fields for tickets. See TracTicketsCustomFields for more details. == [ticket-workflow] == #ticket-workflow-section ''(since 0.11)'' The workflow for tickets is controlled by plugins. By default, there's only a `ConfigurableTicketWorkflow` component in charge. That component allows the workflow to be configured via this section in the trac.ini file. See TracWorkflow for more details. == [milestone-groups] == #milestone-groups-section ''(since 0.11)'' As the workflow for tickets is now configurable, there can be many ticket states, and simply displaying closed tickets vs. all the others is maybe not appropriate in all cases. This section enables one to easily create ''groups'' of states that will be shown in different colors in the milestone progress bar. Example configuration (which is also the default): {{{ closed = closed closed.order = 0 # sequence number in the progress bar closed.query_args = group=resolution # optional extra param for the query closed.overall_completion = true # count for overall completion active = * # one catch-all group is allowed active.order = 1 active.css_class = open # CSS class for this interval active.label = in progress # Displayed label for this group }}} The definition consists in a comma-separated list of accepted status. Also, '*' means any status and could be used to associate all remaining states to one catch-all group. The CSS class can be one of: new (yellow), open (no color) or closed (green). New styles can easily be added using the following selector: `table.progress td.` == [svn:externals] == #svn:externals-section ''(since 0.11)'' The TracBrowser for Subversion can interpret the `svn:externals` property of folders out of the box. However, if those externals are ''not'' using the `http:` protocol, or if a link to a different repository browser (such another Trac or [http://www.viewvc.org/ ViewVC]) is desired, then Trac needs to be able to map an external prefix to this other URL. This mapping is done in the `[svn:externals]` section of the TracIni Example: {{{ [svn:externals] 1 = svn://server/repos1 http://trac/proj1/browser/$path?rev=$rev 2 = svn://server/repos2 http://trac/proj2/browser/$path?rev=$rev 3 = http://theirserver.org/svn/eng-soft http://ourserver/viewvc/svn/$path/?pathrev=25914 4 = svn://anotherserver.com/tools_repository http://ourserver/trac/support/browser/$path?rev=$rev }}} With the above, the `svn://anotherserver.com/tools_repository/tags/1.1/tools` external will be mapped to `http://ourserver/trac/support/browser/tags/1.1/tools?rev=` (and `rev` will be set to the appropriate revision number if the external additionally specifies a revision, see the [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.externals.html SVN Book on externals] for more details). Note that the number used as a key in the above section is purely used as a place holder, as the URLs themselves can't be used as a key due to various limitations in the configuration file parser. ---- See also: TracGuide, TracAdmin, TracEnvironment
