trac: submit tickets from remote website

votes

i have trac setup on a machine that's different from my website, what i want to do is, everytime there is error(like when direct to a 404/500 pages) on the website, it will automatically submit a new ticket to server with trac installed, i tried to use the most intuitive way:

http://www.example/trac/newticket?reporter=anonymous&summary=test&type=defect&description=somethinginhere&action=create&status=new&priority=minor

but somehow it doesn't submit, but preview it, so i just wondering how can i overcome this. what i planning to do is using a img tag with src with the above address.

or is there a better way to it, i know installing xmlrpcplugin might solve my problem, but for now i just need a quick solution.

It sounds like you've answered your own question. From my own experiences with Trac, I've found plugin installation to be very quick and easy. Added to this, XML-RPC is a common protocol, and there is a client library for pretty much any language you're likely to be using. I would have thought the XMLRPCPlugin would be the most effective way of handling this, and probably one of the quickest too. – alastairs

There is a __FORM_TOKEN value that I think you need to get so that your ticket creation will be accepted.

Can't you debug it with FireBug and what happens locally? Maybe some extra value is set when you press 'create' instead of 'preview'?

You might want to take a look at the TracCmdScript.
