ColorizedLinks

Brew Your Own (tested 3.4 & 3.6)

If you use links (depends on, parent, child, etc.) heavily between tickets, it is worth making it more readable by colorizing them.

1. Copy /rt_path/share/html/Ticket/Elements/ShowMembers under local tree.

2. Edit it and change:

<LI><a href="<%$RT::WebPath%>/Ticket/Display.html?id=<%$member->Id%>"><%$member->Id%></a>: <%$member->Subject%> [<%loc($member->Status)%>]<br>

to:

<li><& /Elements/ShowLink, URI => $link->BaseURI &>

3. Copy /rt_path/share/html/Elements/ShowLink under local tree

4. And edit it to insert something like this:

...
% if (UNIVERSAL::isa($member, "RT::Ticket")) {
% if ($member->Status eq "resolved")  {
<font color="grey">
% } elsif ($member->Status eq "stalled")  {
<font color="orange">
% } else  {
<font color="black">
% }
<%$member->Id%>: (<%$member->OwnerObj->Name%>) <%$member->Subject%> [<% loc($member->Status) %>]
</font>
% } elsif ( UNIVERSAL::can($member, 'Name')) {
...

That's all you need. Enjoy your colorized links! :)
