Read only can easily be done by the trac admin. Simply go to permissions and remove the TICKET_CREATE, TICKET_MODIFY and WIKI_MODIFY permissions from authenticated users.

redirecting all /fedora-india/ requests to /fedora-apac/ should be easy to do.

however, making it wait at a page for 10 seconds might be more difficult. Do you need this feature?
Or would just a redirect work? One downside of a redirect is that then you would not be able to refer back to the old fedora-india instance and tickets without being redirected. ;(

So, perhaps the ideal thing here is make it read-only, then add info to header/footer that it's read-only and to refer to the apac trac?

We will discuss this on Saturdays' meeting and update the ticket. Thanks

Replying to [ticket:3247 bckurera]:

As per the discussion APAC FAms are agreed[1] to shut down the fedora-india trac.

My understanding has been that fedora-india trac would be turned read-only but it would exist for archival purposes. That does not necessarily mean "shut down". Could you clarify what exactly the APAC Ambassadors agreed to ?

This is done.

I don't think this is something I can do.

That is what we agreed. We make the fedora-india trac inactive(read-only) but it can be browsed for archival purposes. No new ticket can be created. Please add a notice in the header/footer asking them to use fedora-apac instead fedora-india.

So, is there any further action needed here?
Or everything is now set the way you want it?

fedora-india read-only = done !
add info to header/footer that it's read-only and to refer to the fedora-apac trac = waiting !

once info has been added to header/footer we are done !

Well, I was able to add a note to the footer, but it's not very obvious...

As for header, it looks like we need a stylesheet in order to override the default.

Is there someone who's good with css that would be willing to work one up?

Or is the current footer ok?

In settings we can change the header_logo only right, therefore we need to do this is lower level?

If you need support in CSS I would like to !

we can use the #header div, change the height and add the text in bold to trac header file.

Well, I've not done any customizing of the interface, but:

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInterfaceCustomization

seems to say we could make a custom site.html and customize it.

Do we still want to work on a custom site.html here?

Or just call what we have good enough and close this?

Task is 50% completed. Lets add the "This trac is read-only" to the interface and close this. I think we can customize the trac.ini file and replace the logo with a picture which displays that the site is read only. Then we are done !

Here is the image I have created, this can be replaced with the logo in trac.ini. Please add it since I dont have access to the file. So that we can close the business.

{{{
[header_logo]
src = site/trac-read-only.png
alt = This trac is read-only, use the Fedora-APAC trac instead !
width = 468
height = 70
}}}

Done. ;)
