BugzillaQueryPlugin

This plugin allows you to make links to Bugzilla or directly query Bugzilla for data and results could be formated. I take a vision from BugzillaLinkPlugin but it doesn't fulfil all needs of our company.

THIS VERSION OF PLUGIN WORKS FINE WITH BUGZILLA 2.16.x OR LATER!!

Syntax Rules

• %BGQ{"12"}%
• %BGQ{"12, 25, 200"}%
• %BGQ{data="on" bug_status="NEW, ASSIGNED, REOPENED" product="xxx" target_milestone="yyy"}%

Allowed attributes

Attributes are named by columns in 'bugs' table in DB. It means you can use attributes "bug_id", "bug_status", "reporter", "target_milestone" etc. If you need to search by keywords then use attribute "keyword".

There are these 'special' attributes:

• data - if set to "on" you get directly data from database
• format - you can specify the output

Syntax and variables in 'format' attribute

You can use the same naming conventions as for attributes and put before it the character '$'.

Examples:

• format="| $bug_id | $bug_status | $assigned_to |"

123	NEW	an_user@bugzillaPLEASENOSPAM.com
234	RESOLVED	another_user@bugzillaPLEASENOSPAM.com

• format="Bug $bug_id is in status $bug_status and was assigned to $assigned_to"

Bug 123 is in status NEW and was assigned to an_user@bugzilla.com
Bug 234 is in status RESOLVED and was assigned to another_user@bugzilla.com

Examples

• %BGQ{"12"}%
• %BGQ[bug_id="12"]%
• %BGQ{"12, 25, 200"}%

%BGQ{data="on" bugstatus="NEW, ASSIGNED, REOPENED" product="xxx" milestone="yyy"}%
