BugzillaLinkPlugin

Instead of writing [[yourBugZillaURL/path/shob_bug.cgi?id=123][Bug #123]] for every bug this plugin provides a convenient way to to this. Now, you only have to write %BUG{123}% to get the same result. This plugin does nothing else than giving your a shorthand for the above plus it places a nice bug-icon next to the bug. Have fun!

Since version 1.1 there is another shorthand to display buglists depending on your milestones. Just specify a milestone in the list tag like this %BUGLIST{1.8}% and you will get all bugs that have a target milestone of 1.8 or 1.8b. The beta thing is hard coded, so if you dont neet this you have to change this in the code, but as far as I know you can also ignore it.

In version 1.2 a shorthand for the 'mybugs' feature was added.

In version 1.3 there is a possibility to set a target for the bugzilla link (like targets in html href commands). So e.g. %BUG{"BUGID" target="_blank"}% or %BUG{"BUGID" target="_top"}% is possible.

Syntax Rules

• %BUG{yourBugzillaBugNumberGoesHere}%
