Should I downgrade?

Post by vlad »

Hi guys!

I'm using Mantis BT 1.3.4 for time tracking and I have problems installing time tracking plugins. In Plugin Mgmt section it doesn't allow me to click install (no Installation link visible) for tracking plugins and it says in Dependencies - MantisBT Core 1.2.0 (in red). Is the version of core the problem?

If so, how do I downgrade?
Otherwise, is it possible to find time tracking plugins for 1.3?

p.s. I enabled the core tracking functions in defaults config.

It's the first problem, maybe there are even more
It seems the mentioned plugin is quite dead, see https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/tim ... /issues/18

You have to restore the database dump you hopefully created before running the upgrade

But you do not want to use it? Why are you asking for a plugin?

Thanks for the response!

I do want to use the time tracking plugins because default finctionality has only a few features (eg doesnt allow submit time reports bsckdated). So I kindly ask your advise whether I would need to downgrade or there are different addons for the newer Mantis version.

I am not aware that there is any other time tracking plugin that works with MantisBT 1.3.x, maybe I am wrong.

You could try to contact the author of the plugin and ask if he could make some changes to make it compatible with 1.3.x.
