Mercurial web interface readable folder names - mercurial

I've set up mercurial server and default mercurial web interface. I've set collapse option to true so I can see folder hierarchy when viewing repositories in web interface. I know that I can set name, description, contact etc. for each repository and all that stuff will be shown in web interface. Is it possible to do the same for the folders?

Found answer in mercurial sources.
Here you can see than contact and description fields are always empty for directories:
# add '/' to the name to make it obvious that
# the entry is a directory, not a regular repository
row = {'contact': "",
'contact_sort': "",
'name': name + '/',
'name_sort': name,
'url': url,
'description': "",
'description_sort': "",
'lastchange': d,
'lastchange_sort': d[1]-d[0],
'archives': [],
'isdirectory': True}
seendirs.add(name)
yield row
When you try to cheat and create empty .hg folder by yourself, mercurial will treat that folder as a mercurial repository and when you try to open this folder in web interface, you'll see repository overview instead of directory listing.
So, I can't do what I want without modifying sources.

How to generate a whole website in a variabilized sub-directory ? (Jekyll)

I've been playing around with Jekyll lately and recently discovered that S3 wouldn't allow me to have enough buckets to have one bucket per website.
So I'm struggling to figure out two things
1) How do I specify that I want a 'child' subdirectory to be created, and all the generated website's files to be in it ?
2) How do I use a variable as the 'child' subdirectory's name ? (since it will be different for each website)
The baseurl config option doesn't seem to do anything about that. Any idea will be welcome :-)
Thanks a lot, and have a great day !
I'm not sure about the variable option, however, for child sub-directories:
A) If you can put the content into "child" folders directly within the jekyll content, then use different configuration files to manage each site through build properties. See the examples under the example below.
B) If you just want to put the same content in different places, perhaps you could use different baseurl or destination properties in different config files? Use the same config file approach as below, but with different versions of those properties instead of/in combination with the exclude property (see https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/#serve-command-options).
Example: Use different config files
Use the exclude config property to exclude folders (and all of that folder's contents) when running a build. You could also specify different output folder locations per site, base URLs, and so on. I'll focus on the exclude property, but you can find other useful properties in the documentation: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/#global-configuration
For example, you could have the following files/folders:
/siteA-folder/siteA-content/blah.html
/siteB-folder/siteB=content/meh.html
/siteC-folder/siteC=content/foo.html
config.yaml
config_buildA.yaml
config buildB.yaml
Use the build option --config FILE1[,FILE2...] (https://jekyllrb.com/docs/configuration/#build-command-options) to explicitly call your custom config file A or B, each of which has its own version of the exclude property.
Snippet from config_buildA.yaml:
exclude:
- /siteB-folder/ # While building A, you want to exclude the siteB folder and contents
- /siteC-folder/ # Similarly, exclude siteC contents
Snippet from config_buildB.yaml:
exclude:
- /siteA-folder/ # While building B, you want to exclude the siteA folder and contents
- /siteC-folder/ # Similarly, exclude siteC contents
Building A from the command line:
jekyll build --config config_buildA.yaml
Building B from the command line:
jekyll build --config config_buildB.yaml
By managing excludes in the config file, you can re-use the common templates and css, and keep everything together (using less disk space overall).
If there's shared content, you could also look into using a more advanced feature, includes (see https://jekyllrb.com/docs/includes/), to manage the shared content in the includes folder, referenced within the html or markdown files (but that's getting a little of the beaten track for your question, so I'll stop there...)
EDIT: I see you've edited the question specifying the baseurl property doesn't do what you're looking for.
I've used a combination of the url site property baseurl and destination similar to below. In my case, I have different destinations depending on whether it's an archive or latest content, but you could use this to build to different web folders if you wanted.
Ex: config for latest content
url: http://example.com
baseurl: "/latest/"
destination: /path/to/latest/output/
Ex: config for archived content
url: http://example.com
baseurl: "/archive/content/"
destination: /path/to/archive/output/
Then, using the multiple versions of the config file, I can just call whichever one applies.

How to configure "Commit text links" feature in SourceTree for windows across many repositories

TL;DR: SourceTree for Windows recently added the "commit text links" feature, but it appears that the replacements must be set up per-repository. Is there a way to apply them globally or a config file that could be modified programmatically to set them?
Long version: The "commit text links" feature looks incredibly useful but I have a bit of a problem: We have about a dozen JIRA projects and over 25 repositories that each of them could be related to (none of them are 1-to-1 mappings). While I could set up a single regular expression to match each of the JIRA projects, it's a bit much to ask all of my developers to set it up through the UI for each and every repository. To really take advantage of this I ideally need to be able to give them instructions on a single file to modify or I need to generate a setup script that I can distribute to our developers.
Is there a config file that this setting is saved in? I was expecting to see it in something like .hg/hgrc but I couldn't find anything. I also couldn't find any relevant settings in the SourceTree Program Files folder.
Alternatively, is there a global or default setting that can be applied across all repositories? That plus the regex version could make setup significantly less painful if still manual.
Thanks!
(Note: I'm in version 1.3.3.0 of SourceTree for Windows, which I believe is the most recent stable version)
May be a bit late, but I've found a relatively easy way to do this.
Underneath your .hg/.git folder within your repository should exist a file called 'sourcetreeconfig.' This is where the links live and can be manually edited.
First make sure that you have closed all of the existing repository tabs within sourcetree, and additionally close sourcetree afterwards. Then, (assuming you have already configured a repository) copy the block from the respective repository's sourcetreeconfig and do a replace across all of your sourcetreeconfig files. This would be if you have multiple tied to the same project. It should be relatively easy to throw something together that can configure for different projects, just replace the url/project within the config.
Upon reopening sourcetree, each of your repositories should reflect this change.
This was performed using version 1.6.5.0 of sourcetree.
Programmatic Solution
Here in late 2019, the ability to globally configure commit text links in Sourcetree 3.2.6 for Windows still does not exist. Since this question was one of the few hits with a decent answer, I figured I would add an automated solution to the answers. I'm not a programmer, and I know the RegEx isn't the best, but this simple PowerShell script I cobbled together gets the job done. Make sure Sourcetree is closed before you run the script.
Copy the sourcelinker script into a Notepad++ or similar text editor application.
In order get the specific string for your setup, configure one of your Git repos with one or more commit text links specific to your organization.
A. Launch Sourcetree, select a Git repo, and click Settings.
B. In the Repository Settings window, click the Advanced tab.
C. In the Commit text links area, click Add.
D. From the Replacement type drop-down list, select Other.
E. Enter the Regex pattern and Link to URL for your specific setup, and click OK.
F. In the Repository Settings window, click OK.
G. Close Sourcetree.
Navigate to the .git sub-directory of the repo you configured, and open sourcetreesonfig.json.
Copy everything starting with "CommitTextLinks": [ through the closing bracket and comma ],. For example:
"CommitTextLinks": [
{
"$id": "11",
"LinkType": 99,
"Regex": "[fF][bB][#\\s]*(\\d+)",
"LinkToUrl": "https://companyname.fogbugz.com/f/cases/$1",
"Project": null,
"RootUrl": null,
"Description": "[fF][bB][#\\s]*(\\d+) => https://companyname.fogbugz.com/f/cases/$1"
}
],
Paste the copied content into your sourcelinker script between the single quotes that follow $New1 =.
Save the script as sourcelinker.ps1.
Copy sourcelinker.ps1 to the root folder where your Git repos reside.
Right-click the script, and select Run with PowerShell.
Launch Sourcetree, and check the Commit text links for your other Git repos.

Mercurial / hgweb : How to get latest revision description for each file on browse page?

I have local repo, and I need to view latest changes description per-file basis via web interface.
Look on examples (folder in Netbeans sources) :
1 - on Netbeans native server
2 - on Bitbucket server
I have "1", but I want "2" (where we can see latest revision desc for each file). So, I try to modify hgweb templates (https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/Theming) to reach this functionality, but in file list page template (manifest) variables to get rev desc not accessible. Only file name / size / permissions etc. available.
What can I do?
You cannot do this by just modifying templates. You'd have to iterate over the files, looking at the linkrev for the filelog revision referred to by the manifest and get the changeset message from there.

Do we have web services APIs to fetch the id of folders by specifying the name of the folders?

I am using the Box APIs available for performing different box operations. I am having a problem in designing a user friendly UI for configuring connections with box, such that we can specify the folder's name and upload our files to this desired folder. I found an API which helps us put files into folders by specifying their id, but not by their name. Please let me know if this is possible? If this is not possible, it would make it very tough for users to specify where they want to upload their files.
The current way to achieve this type of functionality is to navigate down the hierarchy step by step. (basically to crawl the tree) using this API call: http://developers.box.com/docs/#folders-get-information-about-a-folder
This call will give you the "item_collection" for the current folder including the ID's of all subfolders:
"item_collection":
{
"total_count":2,
"entries":[
{
"type":"file",
"id":"2305649799",
"sequence_id":"1",
"name":"testing.html"
},
{
"type":"folder",
"id":"2305623799",
"sequence_id":"1",
"name":"a child folder"
}
]
}
You can progressively recurse down from the root folder. The main trick is to know that the root folder for a user will always have an ID of 0, so that gives you your starting point.
e.g. in this example if you were looking for a folder
/a child folder/something else
your calls would be:
https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/0 (for the root folder)
https://api.box.com/2.0/folders/2305623799 (for 'a child folder')
This is the most common interface for cloud storage API's. The only exception I can think of right now is Dropbox, whose API works in terms of paths.

Mercurial's authors description

I'm trying to change Mercurial's template.
When I push some files to my repository, the log files list my PC's name, not user's name that is logged in.
I don't want the PC's name, I want logged user's name shows up.
How I do it?
#Praveen-K has the right answer and Lazy Badger and Lasse have the details you're missing. Here it is spelled out, but go pick Praveen's answer:
The user name you're seeing in/on your remote repository are completely unrelated to:
Any settings on your repository/server
The username you use to authenticate to your repository
Instead that string, called 'author' is burned into the changeset (commit) at commit time and is entirely crafted on your "PC". You could set it to anything you want and once you push that commit to the repository that's how it will display.
At your current skill level you're not going to successfully change that string in commits you've already made, but if you dive into a good explanation (not lookup commands) like the hg book you'll come away understanding things.
Make the entry in to your hgrc file. This file should be in your .hg/ directory (it may be in your repo or you can do in your home directory) and if it is not exist make the file with the name of hgrc in that folder.

username = Your Name <your#mail>
