Hi,

I’m trying to use a project variable within the Wiki markup on a card or page. e.g. (Category). However the variable name is displayed and not the value. Can project variables be used within the Wiki markup?

Regards,

Carl

Hi Carl, In 2.0.1, project variables are not able to be used in wiki pages to simply show values.

Here’s the help page describing what you can use it for. If you’d like project variables to be used that way, then feel free to add it in the feature requests forum.

Hi Carl & Joe

It is true that in 2.0.1 project variables can not be used the in the way you are requesting, but…

in Mingle 2.1 we will have a project variable macro that will provide the ability to print the value of a project variable on a wiki page or card description.

Watch this space for more news on Mingle 2.1!

Thanks

Thanks Jen,

Any idea when 2.1? Also, will 2.1 provide a documented plugins architecture?

Regards,

Carl

Hi Carl,

2.1 will be available the week of October 20th.

2.2 Available in December will have a documented plugin architecture for both SCM and for user-defined macros. In the meantime, if you would like to post any specific questions you have on the API Forum, we can help you through as best we can.

Cheers,
Adam

Thanks Adam.

Regarding the plug-ins – I want to build some custom transitions that do the following:-

• Invokes a remote Web Service and updates card properties based on the response.
• Sends the contents of an attached file to a Web Service and replaces the contents with the returned data.
• Sends an attached file to a remote FTP service

Regards,

Carl
