Customizations advice (message count and user searching)

I have deployed a roundup installation at a branch in Texas
3 weeks
ago and I am getting feedback from the users.
There are now two things that they want to have changed and
I don't
know how to do it....

1. In the Show All page they want a column that displays the
total
number of messages on each issue. In the default version
there is a
column showing the last activity, normally when someone
added a
message to the issue, but no total number. It would be handy
they say
and I fear that it might need some Python programming, which
I am
incapable of...
Advice, hints etc are welcome.

2. When adding users to the nosy list they complain about
the two-step
procedure of first clicking the "list" link, which
brings up a search
page, and then clicking the "Search" button to
actually list the
users.
They do not feel a need for searching among the 7 users
total....
Is there no way to do one of two things:
A) Skip the search page totally and just show the result
with all
users listed.
B) Make the search system sense the number of actual account
and show
the full list whenever the total is below a certain
(configurable)
count like 10.

I know the search makes sense when there are lots of user
accounts,
but when there are just a few then a list that is shown
directly makes
more sense to us.

Thanks,

Bo Berglund

I see two ways;

1) The messages property should be available in the
iteration object
   you use to list the issues. I think it will contain a
list of
   message id's, which means you should be able to do a
   'python:len(object.messages)' to find out.

2) Add a Number property on the issue class and update it
from an
   auditor each time the messages property is updated. This
is the
   approach used for the actor property, IIRC.

C) Replace the nosy list with a multi-line selectbox?

This is easy; delete the two template files user.help.html
and
user.help-search.html.

(I have done this for our internal tracker too).

I hope this helps.

Would that not result in some kind of error message like
missing page
or such???

It sure did!
I connected up to the server and moved these files away from
the
tracker html dir and now my wanted userlist is back! 
Thanks!

This is definitely the recommended approach.

This is yucky and involves redundant information 

I'm not sure what you mean when referring to the actor
property?

Indeed.

Neither am I . Sorry,
temporary confusion.
