Can we get 1.3 done, then focus on new features and redesigning the UI with a 'plan' Personally, in the future I'd see the my view page with as a dashboard that people can customise what appears on boxes etc, and therefore we should keep the boxes in the same style. Re-designing the UI across the whole of Mantis is something we should focus on after 2.0. We need to get 1.3 shipped, do a followup 2.0 within a Month of 1.3, and then move the focus onto implementing features ( we are already waiting on 1.3 and 2.0 to get shipped so we can look at email notifications ) |

Here is the associated pull request: @grangeway, just saw your comment above. This feature is not about redoing the UI, but it is about adding a useful feature that is missing from MantisBT, but available in all competitor bug trackers. I thought I would share this and we can discuss as a team the right time frame for it to get int. I personally think that given the simplicity of the feature, it can be a nice 1.3 feature. However, if the team wants to hold off on it, I don't mind either. Let's see what others think. |

I rather like the feature and think it would be quite useful, and considering the low impact it has on the codebase, worth adding to 1.3 scope. I would second @grangeway with regards to allowing users to customize their "My View". While this is a nice-to-have and probably not mandatory for the initial release, need to make sure that we plan ahead to avoid having to rewrite everything in the future. Maybe we can treat the 'Timeline' box like one of the existing, bug-listing ones ? At the moment, especially if there is not a lot of activity to display, the page looks a bit awkward with all the bug list boxes vertically on the left, and a lot of wasted screen real-estate on the right. More tactical and detailed comments in the pull request. |

Another idea: allowing users to customize the period (hardcoded 7 days now) via preferences page |

@dregard, the feature is designed in a way where it can be included as a div in any page and layout be adjusted via css work. So it is very easy to revisit as part of making My View page more flexible. If an instance is being used at all, then it is likely that if timeline is empty, the bug boxes will be empty as well. Specially if we provide a configuration option to tweak the number of days to be included in the timeline view. As for adding the user preferences, I was wondering if we should be able to add preferences without requiring schema change (similar to how we can add configs). I would rather add a preference then, but I'm OK with adding a default config option for number of days. Once the feature is in, we can iterate on improvements that build on it. I've already applied all your review comments with the exception of the config option. Let me know if you want that, and I will add it. |
