Description

We run a big Redmine installation with more than 20000 issues. What we are missing is the ability to apply a filter on description and notes.

For Redmine version 0.9.4 I made a patch that allows us to filter for these fields and now I would like to contribute this patch to all Redmine users.
Unfortunately I have no svn access to provide an official patch file. Also I don't know if my code (first Ruby code) is ok.

Here is what i did:

File app/models/query.rb:

Line 125ff:

    QueryColumn.new(:subject, :sortable => "#{Issue.table_name}.subject"),

                           "notes" => { :type => :text, :order => 17 },

        sql << sql_for_field(field, '=', v, db_table, db_field) + ')'
      else

        sql << sql_for_field(field, '=', v, db_table, db_field) + ')'
      elsif field == 'notes'
        db_table = Journal.table_name
        db_field = 'notes'

                     :order => order_option,
                     :limit  => options[:limit],
                     :offset => options[:offset]
    else
    Issue.find :all, :include => ([:status, :project] + (options[:include] || [])).uniq,
                     :conditions => Query.merge_conditions(statement, options[:conditions]),
                     :order => order_option,
                     :limit  => options[:limit],
                     :offset => options[:offset]
    end

It would be great if you would integrate this code into Redmine.

Thanks,

Peter

As a follow-up to #5893#note-7, here's a revised patch of the notes query against Redmine 4.0.5.
It fixes logic problems in operator handling that were in the original patch.

Thank you for creating the patch.
I adjusted filter-by-notes.patch to work with Redmine-trunk (r20766) and added tests.

This is a feature I have wanted for years. Thank you for updating the patch and adding the test.

I have changed the patch to move the "notes" position in the filters dropdown to below the "description".

The patch needs to be fixed.

"starts with" and "ends with" operators for notes don't work as expected. They behave like "any" operator. This means that even if you give a nonexistent string to those operators, the issues list displays issues that have any notes.

My environment:

I've confirmed. I fixed the patch as follows.

[...]

I have been investigating this issue for a while, and the only time I could reproduce the error was when I removed the sql_for_notes_field method.

The error reported in #5893#note-16 is probably due to my tampering the source code while checking the patch.

Setting the target version to 5.0.0 again.
