module lets you do some truly amazing things with URL rewriting. Here are

a couple of examples of what you can do.</para>

<para>Make it so if someone types
|
|
<computeroutput>http://www.foo.com/12345</computeroutput>
|
|
|
|
, Bugzilla spits back http://www.foo.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12345. Try
|
|
setting up your VirtualHost section for Bugzilla with a rule like
|
|
this:</para>
|
|
|
|
<programlisting><![CDATA[
|
|
<VirtualHost 12.34.56.78>
|
|
RewriteEngine On
|
|
RewriteRule ^/([0-9]+)$ http://foo.bar.com/show_bug.cgi?id=$1 [L,R]
|
|
</VirtualHost>
|

]]></programlisting>

<title>Command-line Bugzilla Queries</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>There are a suite of Unix utilities for querying Bugzilla from the
|
|
command line. They live in the
|
|
<filename class="directory">contrib/cmdline</filename>
|
|
directory. However, they
|
|
have not yet been updated to work with 2.16 (post-templatisation.).
|
|
There are three files - <filename>query.conf</filename>,
|
|
<filename>buglist</filename> and <filename>bugs</filename>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>query.conf</filename>
|
|
contains the mapping from options to field
|
|
names and comparison types. Quoted option names are "grepped" for, so it
|
|
should be easy to edit this file. Comments (#) have no effect; you must
|
|
make sure these lines do not contain any quoted "option".</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>buglist</filename>
|
|
is a shell script which submits a Bugzilla query and writes
|
|
the resulting HTML page to stdout. It supports both short options, (such
|
|
as "-Afoo" or "-Rbar") and long options (such as "--assignedto=foo" or
|
|
"--reporter=bar"). If the first character of an option is not "-", it is
|
|
treated as if it were prefixed with "--default=".</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The column list is taken from the COLUMNLIST environment variable.
|
|
This is equivalent to the "Change Columns" option when you list bugs in
|
|
buglist.cgi. If you have already used Bugzilla, grep for COLUMNLIST
|
|
in your cookies file to see your current COLUMNLIST setting.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><filename>bugs</filename> is a simple shell script which calls
|
|
<filename>buglist</filename> and extracts the
|
|
bug numbers from the output. Adding the prefix
|
|
"http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?bug_id=" turns the bug list into
|
|
a working link if any bugs are found. Counting bugs is easy. Pipe the
|
|
results through
|
|
<command>sed -e 's/,/ /g' | wc | awk '{printf $2 "\n"}'</command>
|
|
</para>

<para>Akkana Peck says she has good results piping
|
|
<filename>buglist</filename> output through
|
|
<command>w3m -T text/html -dump</command>
