Description

This is the first page you see upon logging in. It shows you the latest news updates for the bugtracker. This is a simple news module (based off of work by Scott Roberts) and is to keep users abreast of changes in the bugtracker or project. Some news postings are specific to projects and others are global across the entire bugtracker. This is set at the time of posting in the Edit News section.

The number of news posts is controlled by a global variable. When the number of posts is more than the limit, a link to show "older news" is displayed at the bottom. Similarly a "newer news" is displayed when you have clicked on "older news".

There is an Archives option at the bottom of the page to view all listings.

Archives
A title/date/poster listing of ALL past news articles will be listed here. Clicking on the link will bring up the specified article. This listing will also only display items that are either global or specific to the selected project.

`Hi, I would like to change the name of the links in the top menu (welcome, report bug etc.). I would like to replace the word bug with something else. If this is possible, in which file and where can I do that?`

You can do that by editing file [mantisdir]/lang/strings_[language].txt. I assume, you are trying to use Mantis not for reporting bugs, but something else. I also use this system for task management (it is possible after customizing language files and configured properly - see [mantisdir]/config_defaults_inc.php). There are some things which can not be changed so easy and I do not intend to customize also scripts. So I have a question, whether someone did these changes to make Mantis task manager instead of bug reporting system.

`The RSS link seems to be described under the "News Syndication" heading.`
