Bugzilla

Using Apache's mod_rewrite, it is possible to give Bugzilla pretty URLs for certain pages.

• /assigned-to/me@example.com/

  lists all bugs that are assigned to the specified email address

• /reported-by/me@example.com/

  lists all bugs that were reported by the specified email address

• /new-bug/

  redirects to the page listing all products to create a new bug report about

• /new-bug/Product Name/

  shows the form to create a new bug for the specified product

• /graph/

  shows our Open Bugs vs. Resolved Bugs graph

• /open/

  lists all open (new/assigned/etc.) bugs

• /unassigned/

  lists all unassiged (i.e. just the 'new' status) bugs

• /fixed/

  lists all fixed (resolved-fixed) bugs

• /123/

  shows bug #123

The .htaccess (mod_rewrite) code needed to accomplish this is: .htaccess|<syntax lang="apache"> <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on #Need this because we're symlinked RewriteBase /bugs/ #And enter_bug.cgi?product=Foo -> /new-bug/Foo/ RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^product=([[A-Za-z0-9%\+\-_]]+)$ RewriteRule enter_bug\.cgi new-bug/%1/?

Note that in certain places the products need to be listed. These should be entered in the form “

product=Product+One&product=Product+Two&product=Product+Three

”. Additionally, the

/graph/

rule will need editing to match your own graph configuration. And finally, you only need the “

RewriteBase

” line if the URLs that you use to access Bugzilla don't match up with the filesystem - e.g. if you use a symlink to point Apache at the Bugzilla files.
