Patch #20063
open
Add "issue#<number>" syntax for issue links
0%
Description
For most Redmine items (news, documents, wiki articles...), the link displays the title as the link's text, and follows the syntax: news#<number>, document#<number>, etc.
For issues, the only syntax is simply #<number>, and shows the issue number as the link's text.
This patch adds the syntax issue#<number>, and will display the bug title followed by the bug status as the link text.
The patch does not remove anything, it only adds a new syntax.

Interesting feature. I think this patch makes Redmine links more consistent.
Here is an example. "issue#14" is converted as follows:

I agree that supporting the issue#id is a good idea and will make redmine links more consistent, but I'm not sure that is a good idea to have different formats for displaying the issue title. Maybe is better to have a setting to choose the issue title format (like we have for users).

Marius Ionescu: I'm not sure what you mean by "to have different formats for displaying the issue title".
The added format is simply putting the link title of the #<number> tooltip into the link text itself when using issue#<number>. There is no change of format, apart a colon replaced by brackets to avoid colon repetition:
#14 -> link text "14" with tooltip: "Bug: Private issue on public project (New)"
issue#14 -> link text "14: (Bug) Private issue on public project (New)" with no tooltip

I have created another issue for the format thing: #26465. Would you mind considering this as well?

Exactly what you said, having different formats for issue links depending on the syntax used:
#14 -> link text "14" with tooltip: "Bug: Private issue on public project (New)"
issue#14 -> link text "14: (Bug) Private issue on public project (New)" with no tooltip

In my opinion, I think it is better to track the format change in a new issue.

Isn't #26465 a new issue?
Updated by Olivier Houdas over 7 years ago
Well, you have the short display (with #<nb>) and the extended display (with issue#<nb>). I don't see why it should be an issue to add the possibility to have a new formatting.
At least, in my company, I've implemented this patch for more than 2 years now, and both forms are used alternatively by users, depending on what they need, and nobody ever complained about being mislead by the two syntaxes.

Okay, it's just a patch. Of course, the format can be changed. I just thought that it may finds its way into Redmine and then it would have been nice if the Redmine settings could offer an option for that.
