Description

While working on my CC Addresses plugin, I have come across the need to work with @issue during its creation in order to call @issue.cc_addresses.build before render gets called.

The :controller_issues_new_before_save hook only gets called after the form has been submitted, this ties the hands of plugins trying to extend the issue form (like i'm trying to do, obviously).

Adding the hook below allows you to touch the @issue object before render, letting you build nested_attribute objects, etc.

     @issue.status = default_status
     @allowed_statuses = ([default_status] + default_status.find_new_statuses_allowed_to(User.current.roles_for_project(@project), @issue.tracker)).uniq

     if request.get? || request.xhr?
       @issue.start_date ||= Date.today
+      call_hook(:controller_issues_new_prepare, { :params => params, :issue => @issue })
     else
       requested_status = IssueStatus.find_by_id(params[:issue][:status_id]) if params[:issue]
       # Check that the user is allowed to apply the requested status

Would be great to see this in the next release, its a relatively minor change. Thanks!

I also found I needed this as well:

Index: base.rhtml

 <div id="footer">

+    <%= call_hook :view_layouts_base_footer_bottom %>
 </div>
 </div>
 <%= call_hook :view_layouts_base_body_bottom %>

The current hook at the bottom of the page is nice (though I haven’t found a use for it yet) but one at the bottom of the footer like this would make it easier for groups or whoever to add their own copyright or other footer to the bottom, without needing to manually change base.rhtml.

Sorry, there are over 2,000 issues here and less than half a dozen people patrolling the issue list. Sometimes it takes us a bit to get everything.

The hook in the footer is a good one, I'll need to review the one in the controller to see what you need. If you are only adding some objects to new issues, it might be better to hook into Issue's after_initialize that way it's always run.

I work on CoRD, or at least i try to. I know the feeling when there's more issues than you have hands. 'Tis one reason I'm working my way up towards helping out more and pitching in with some patches and code here. I do my best to be patient and hack together my own solutions in the mean while :)

You may be right, after_initialize might be a better way. But when you're doing things like I'm doing, that are dependent on modules being enabled and the user having permissions for those modules, how would you go about adding that kind of logic into the issue model/helper? Seems like a better candidate for a controller action, but I'm still learning how to swim in this soup called Ruby...
