Cross-project redmine links with alternate link text for source and export links.
50%
Description
In Feature #3346 (Support for cross-project revision links), James Wells and Babar O'Cap collaborated to make it possible to create commit and revision links across projects.
I have now extended the project: syntax to source: and export: links and also extended them with the ability to specify alternate link text: "Download filename" instead of projectname:export:foo/bar/path/filename.
I have also corrected the issue causing source and export links to not be properly converted to absolute links in issue update emails. (See Defect #3483)
So... Source and export links now work in emails, can be cross project, and can have alternate display text for the link.
Syntax:
- ["Link alternate display title"=][project:]source:some/path[/file][@52][#L120]
- ["Link alternate display title"=][project:]export:some/path/file[@52]
Note: For the link text, the double-quotes are currently required, even if the text is only one word. I chose to implement the alternate link name functionality in a way that altered the primary regex as little as possible. It's getting a bit unwieldy.

I have discovered an issue with this, which hopefully can be easily resolved...
This patch currently breaks the !version#6 syntax. Instead of being a link to the version in the roadmap, it becomes a link to an issue by that number (#6).

Here's an svn formatted patch against r3618.
It's functional, but could use some refactoring.

This is so damn useful! Why has nobody added it to the roadmap yet!?

Hi William,
Any chance that you can update the patch for redmine 0.9.6 or later?
Thanks in advance!
Updated by Pieter Smith over 14 years ago
O'h... I forgot to mention that I tried merging the patch with 0.9.6, but got more merge conflicts than I can safely solve with my limited Ruby knowledge.

My apologies.. I actually started to do this weeks ago and got pulled off on something else..
Attached is 100805-1.0.0_r3854-cross-project_redmine_links.patch, which is a patch against 1.0.0 (source:/trunk@3854).
I did actually generate patches against 0.9.5 (source:/trunk@3815) and 0.9.6 (source:/trunk@3815) as well, but I'm not uploading them because they are identical except for the revision references in the patch. This patch should apply without issue against any trunk or release between r3602 and r3894.
The functional changes in this patch are all in app/helpers/application_helper.rb, which has had a couple of recent revisions that would affect line numbers, but the patch should still apply properly to a current trunk. Let me know if you need a patch against a more recent trunk..

Thanks. Can't we get a Target Version for this? How can we convince the core team to integrate this?
I am also adding 100806-0.9.6_add_cross_project_links_with_changesets.patch to use the cross-project wiki formats (project:r1234 and project:commit:ab34cd) when fixing issues via repository commit keywords.
Updated by Pieter Smith over 14 years ago
By the way... 100805-1.0.0_r3854-cross-project_redmine_links.patch doesn't play well with 0.9.6. The trouble starts with:
text = text.gsub(%r{([\s\(,\-\>]|^)(!)?(attachment|document|version|commit|source|export|message)?((#|r)(\d+)|(:)([^"\s<>][^\s<>]*?|"[^"]+?"))(?=(?=[[:punct:]]\W)|,|\s|<|$)}) do |m|
in 0.9.6 versus the expected
text.gsub!(%r{([\s\(,\-\[\>]|^)(!)?(attachment|document|version|commit|source|export|message|project)?((#|r)(\d+)|(:)([^"\s<>][^\s<>]*?|"[^"]+?"))(?=(?=[[:punct:]]\W)|,|\s|\]|<|$)}) do |m|
which is what the patch expects.

Subprojects in Redmine are effectively useless without this feature.
Updated by Stefan Lindner about 12 years ago
Still no plans to include this in near future? Wikis look awful without th ability to display a homan readable text for repository links.
Updated by Sébastien Aubry about 12 years ago
The syntax: [[project:page|text]] should indeed work. It is even weird that it is not the case by default. Probably a problem with the regexp?

Yep, it's definitely necessary feature.
