We have created some patches for Test Link 1.6.0 which we use in the work. Here some of them.

1. It is a small patch which is made to allow using (.) (dot) symbol in users names.

This patch adds handy opportunity for creating of links in test cases to other test cases.
After appliing this patch additional protocol Case appears in the Link properties window.
Thus it is enough to choose protocol Case and insert the test case number that you need.

Hi,
Pls let me know if the patch files are correct. I cannot see any difference in the \"search test case UI\" after replacing these 3 files mentioned. Pls let me know if I am looking at the wrong location to search by \"date of creation and owner\".

Thx in advance !!!

Norinchak,
I had to edit strings.txt to include :

$TLS_created = \" Created By\";
$TLS_create_date = \"Create Date\";

Then I modified the corresponding tpl file...and now it works.

Great work, thx for the useful fix to the search functionality !!! Appreciate it !!
