#355: Enable themes in Trac

We are in the process of unifying the look and feel of all QGIS web assets
- website, wiki, blog, trac, etc.

I would like to install the trac theme manager extension and a customised
version of the crystalx theme. I am happy to do the work myself or if
someone on the admin side can do it that would be great too.

The installation will require restart of apache.

I have tested the procedure on a local machine here and the procedure is
as follows:

First install python-dev headers which is going to be needed by some of
the theme engine deps.

{{{
sudo apt-get install python2.5-dev
}}}

The equivalent package under fedora will need to be installed for the
above step.

Next get the theme engine from here:

http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/ThemeEnginePlugin

Look for the "Download and Source" section on the above page.

Now unzip the zip and cd into its 0.11 dir then do:
{{{
sudo python setup.py install
}}}
Next get the crystal theme from here:

http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/CrystalxTheme

Download the theme and extract it then do:

{{{
cd crystalxtheme/0.11/
sudo python setup.py install
}}}

Finally add to the trac ini a couple of lines:

vim /opt/trac/sac/conf/trac.ini

{{{
# Added by Tim for crystal theme support
[components]
themeengine.* = enabled
crystalxtheme.* = enabled

[theme]
theme = CrystalX
}}}

After doing these steps go into trac admin and enble the themeengine and
crystal theme plugins.

'''Note''' We will use a customised version of the above theme.

Are there any objections to me going ahead and installing this? If not can
you provide me the appropriate details for connecting to the trac server?

Comment (by timlinux):

Further to this I chatted to Frank W. on IRC last night. He would prefer
that hobu carry our the needed installations. I will attach our customised
version of crystalx theme to this ticket over the next day or two. Please
standby for that.

Many thanks

Tim

Comment (by hobu):

A few problems.

1) We run Python 2.3 on a rather ancient system
2) We're running Trac 0.10.1, and theming requires at least 0.11.x IIRC
3) We only allow "Primary Admins" root access on the OSGeo server to do
stuff like this. The process to being a Primary Admin isn't onerous, but
it will involve more than fixing your one or two pet issues :slight_smile:

See #365 for more information on what we plan to do to get to 0.11

Hi

Since I posted this ticket I tried to use the above mentioned theme in a
production environment. However it is fixed width which caused quite a few
problems with poorly laid out reports etc.

There are other themes e.g. GnomeBR that are not fixed width, and some
themes that are available for 10.x too. That said I am happy to wait if
you have a migration plan to 0.11, which will give us some time to get a
more appropriate theme prepared.

Many thanks

Tim

Comment:

Tim confirmed in IRC that he doesn't currently have a theme to install
here that he wants to use; for the time being, I'm moving this to
Unplanned, until we get feedback from Tim that he's ready to proceed here.

Tim, I guess you don't really need this anymore ?
QGIS code now is on github (also unbranded)

We use our (branded) [http://hub.qgis.org redmine] for bugtracking. Only
git is hosted on github.

Jef: so do you confirm you don't need trac themes or are you planning to
move from redmine to trac ?
