[Tikiwiki-devel] Tracker creation problems (with profiles)

[Jonny B. <tw...@no...>]

Re comments on: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Release30process#Profiles  
about duplicate broken trackers created by running profiles more than  
once.

I've been trying to address this - i've fixed replace_tracker() so  
profiles will re-use a tracker with the same name, but tracker admin  
can still make many trackers with the same name (why, oh why?) but now  
i find replace_tracker_field() deletes any previous field with a given  
id and then recreates it (so you loose all the data) - but i suppose  
it is called _replace_

This seems bad, and presumably the reason for the comments about  
bug_tracker profile above.

I could use the same trick (checking for fieldId===false instead of 0)  
to preserve the existing behaviour, but i'm just not sure what the  
desired result should be - i know i may well be missing something  
here, as a tracker-n00b, so thought i should check (fields with the  
same name on a single tracker seems to me like asking for trouble, but  
maybe it's a perms/workspace type thing?)

Any help or pointers to more documentation gratefully appreciated  
(nothing significant on this subject on doc.tw.o, afaics)

Thanks
