Organise Trac's 'Available Projects' page

Does anyone know how to split the list of projects on the 'Available Projects' page into a list of active and archived projects? At the moment they are all listed together and I have a large number of projects so it is difficult to identify just the active projects.

I'm not a web developer or python expert so I would appreciate simple, easy-to-follow answers.

Thanks in advance.

The project index can be customized. You'll need a criteria for grouping the projects into active and archived. Here you can see the variables that are listed for each project. You could add a value in the config/trac.ini file for each project, such as [project] archived = true, and read that value when rendering the project index in order to determine which group to list the project in - active vs. archived. The value can be read using env.config.get('project', 'archived').

Here is a proof-of-concept.

Create 4 projects and set 2 of them as archived:

$ mkdir projects && cd projects
$ virtualenv pve
$ source pve/bin/activate
$ pip install trac
$ mkdir environments && cd environments
$ for i in `seq 1 4`; do
    trac-admin env$i initenv "Project $i" sqlite:db/trac.db
  done
$ trac-admin env3 config set project archived true
$ trac-admin env4 config set project archived true

Add the following in projects/index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:py="http://genshi.edgewall.org/"
      xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude">
  <head>
    <title>Available Projects</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Active Projects</h1>
    <ul>
      <li py:for="project in projects"
          py:if="not project.env.config.get('project', 'archived')"
          py:choose="">
        <a py:when="project.href" href="$project.href"
           title="$project.description">$project.name</a>
        <py:otherwise>
          <small>$project.name: <em>Error</em> <br /> ($project.description)</small>
        </py:otherwise>
      </li>
    </ul>
    <h1>Archived Projects</h1>
    <ul>
      <li py:for="project in projects"
          py:if="project.env.config.get('project', 'archived')"
          py:choose="">
        <a py:when="project.href" href="$project.href"
           title="$project.description">$project.name</a>
        <py:otherwise>
          <small>$project.name: <em>Error</em> <br /> ($project.description)</small>
        </py:otherwise>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </body>
</html>

Run TracStandalone:

$ cd projects
$ TRAC_ENV_INDEX_TEMPLATE=`pwd`/index.html tracd -r -p 8001 --env-parent-dir=environments

The result is:
