Re: [Issuetracker-development] Adding Custom Fields to "AddIssue"

[Peter B. <pe...@fr...>]

Hi Samir,
The best approach is to write a monkey patch. You override two methods
to begin with.
1) You override the AddIssueTemplate something like this:
from Products.IssueTrackerProduct.IssueTracker import IssueTracker
setattr(IssueTracker, AddIssueTemplate,
PageTemplateFile('your/copy/of/AddIssue.zpt', globals()))

2) Override the SubmitIssue() method in your monkey patch. Copy all
the code from IssueTracker.py and start adding stuff for your own
fields. Patch it in like this:
from Products.IssueTrackerProduct.IssueTracker import IssueTracker
setattr(IssueTracker, 'SubmitIssue', YourOwnSubmitIssueFunction)

A lot of people have been asking the same question. Perhaps it's time
I write something more robust for all people to be able to do this.
I'm busy on another project at the moment so don't expect any quick
results I'm afraid.

If you stay on the list there are plenty of other people who will be
able to help you when you get stuck.
