What are some recommended plugins for Trac?

In particular, I need a more full fledged version of Trac to support robust project management, and task tracking. I went through the plugins and literally found over 50 that looked promising.

My question is to the admins/users of Trac: which ones are indespensible for making Trac feature complete and which ones should be avoided (e.g. stability issues)?

Solution

  • Lots of Trac plugins look promising. Unfortunately only a handful really delivers and even then some of them are not properly supported or maintained. They also tend to conflict sometimes.

    I will not recommend anything for project management specifically but these are the ones which made our live so much easier:

    • TagsPlugin - the most useful one, adds tags support
    • BreadCrumbsNav - show previously visited pages, saves lots of time
    • ShowPath - show the breadcrumbs path, useful if you have your pages named hierarchically
    • CaseInsensitiveWiki - allows entering case-insensitive URLS
    • Stratistics - show Wiki/SVN statistics
    • WikiRename - allows page renaming (does not work well with the Tags)

    0.10

    • WebAdmin - pre-installed in 0.11 but before you need to get it separately
