Passing Database Name to Notification E-mail

[Craig Senior]

In the file dbconfig-recipes.html (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnats/doc/4_0_beta_snapshot/dbconfig-recipes.html), in the section on Providing a Gnatsweb URL in an e-mail response, it called to type-in the database name into the dbconfig file. This would necessitate editing this section of dbconfig for every database..

 

I wondered if there was a way to capture and pass the value of the database within which the PR was created to the notification e-mail?

 

The result would be something like this in dbconfig:

 

\nYou can VIEW your PR at the following URL\n\
http://www.example.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view&database=%s&user=userid&password=pwd123&pr=%s\n\n\

 

fields { "Category" "Database" "Number" "Responsible[fullname]"
          "Category" "Responsible" "Synopsis" "Arrival-Date" }

 

We are using Gnatsweb v4.00.

 

Thanks!
