Defect #12502
closed
Links to projects I am not member of are not expanded
0%
Description
When a link to another project is made using the project:identifier syntax, as described on the Wiki help syntax page, only members of the linked project see the expansion of the macro. Non-member users see the unexpanded syntax.
For instance, I am part of a "Main" project but not of its sub-projects. One of them is called "General Library" and its identifier is gen-lib.
One of my coworker in the "Main" project (who is also part of the gen-lib project) put a link to this project in the "Main" project wiki.
What he sees is:
see project General Library
What I see is:
see project project:gen-lib
I tried this today on the demo server.

- Status changed from New to Closed
- Resolution set to Wont fix
Redmine converts a "project:identifier" string to a link only when the project is visible to the user.
Looking into the code source:tags/4.2.1/app/helpers/application_helper.rb#L1156, I believe this is not a defect, but the intended behavior. The name of an invisible project should not be displayed for security reasons.
