Delete trac tickets

To delete trac tickets without installing extra plugins, here's the SQL.

Note: make sure to create a backup of trac.db first.

$ sqlite3 trac.db
delete from ticket_change where ticket = <TicketID>;
delete from ticket_custom where ticket = <TicketID>;
delete from ticket where id = <TicketID>;

Replace "TicketID" with the ID of ticket that needs to be deleted.

To purge out all tickets, use the same sql without the where clause.

Trac redirect loop upon password reset

Recently, I have come across the mentioned bug during a password reset of Trac:

Reference bug trac-hacks.org/ticket/3233

This looks like an issue when set to "Force users to change passwords after a password reset?". I changed the config to not force the password change.

Also removed the session attribute in reference from the trac database:

sqlite3 yourtrac/db/trac.db \ 'DELETE FROM "session_attribute" WHERE "name" = "force__change_passwd";'

Creating graph of Trac workflow

Here is how, I was able to generate graph of the workflow being used in Trac. This helps quite a bit when trying to visualize the workflow that is being setup.

The packages required were ghostscript (ps2pdf conversion) and graphviz (graph creation).

Graphviz is available in DAGs/rpmforge repository, so do an install via:

# yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install ghostscript graphviz graphviz-python

Once graphviz is installed generate config files:

# dot -c

Download the corresponding contrib files from the trac svn:

$ wget http://svn.edgewall.com/repos/trac/tags/trac-0.11/contrib/workflow/showworkflow
$ wget http://svn.edgewall.com/repos/trac/tags/trac-0.11/contrib/workflow/workflow_parser.py

Make the files executable and run:

./showworkflow /path/to/trac.ini

This should generate a pdf file in the same directory as trac.ini file.

Note: If doing this on a server xpdf will fail, so move the pdf to a web accessible directory to view it.
