Maybe some of you already encountered this problem. How can I lookup all issues created by a retired user. The *Creator* search property will only list non-retired users.
I made some changes to the issue.search.html page and came up with the next solution.
Change::
<tr tal:define="name string:creator;
- db_klass string:user; db_content string:username;"
tal:condition="db/user/is_view_ok">
<th>Creator:</th> <td metal:use-macro="search_select">
<option metal:fill-slot="extra_options"
tal:attributes="value request/user/id">created by me</option>
</td> <td metal:use-macro="column_input"></td> <td metal:use-macro="sort_input"></td> <td metal:use-macro="group_input"></td>
</tr>
Into::
<tr tal:condition="db/user/is_view_ok">
<th>Creator:</th> <td>
<select name="creator">
<option value="">don't care</option> <option value="">
</option>
<option tal:attributes="value request/user/id">
- created by me
</option> <optgroup label="Users">
<tal:block tal:repeat="user db/user/list">
<option tal:attributes="value user/id"
tal:content="user/username">
</option>
</tal:block>
</optgroup> <optgroup label="Retired">
<tal:block tal:repeat="retired_id python:db._db.user.getnodeids(retired=True)">
<option tal:attributes="value retired_id"
tal:content="python:db._db.user.get(retired_id, 'username')">
</option>
</tal:block>
</optgroup>
</select>
</td> <td metal:use-macro="column_input"></td> <td metal:use-macro="sort_input"></td> <td metal:use-macro="group_input"></td>
</tr>
The selection menu will look like:
<select name="creator">
<option value="">don't care</option> <option value="">
</option>
<option value="">created by me</option> <optgroup label="Users">
<option value="">sun</option> <option value="">earth</option> <option value="">venus</option>
</optgroup> <optgroup label="Retired">
<option value="">mars</option> <option value="">moon</option>
</optgroup>
</select>
With some minor changes it can be used for *Last modified by* (actor) too.
