Summary | 0026117: Improvement ideas | ||||
Description | Hello, In our company, we have made tens of useful improvements. There are the most important ones here that I think it would be more that contributive to have them in Mantis core for all. Most of our improvements are done or fixed additionally by plugins and JS files so I will write only a few code blocks. If you are interested in that, I can provide source code. 1) This feature would Mantis kick a few classes upper! - https://www.allphptricks.com/select-box-with-search-option-using-jquery/ I can't imagine how we could survive without that... :) /****/ var $selectors = ["#reporter_id_filter, #handler_id_filter, #user_monitor_filter, #note_user_id_filter, #show_category_filter"]; for (var i = 1; i < 1000; i++) { // 1000 - count of Mantis custom fields $($filterSelectors).click(function () {
}); 2) There is no asterisk at required field's labels on bug_update_page, the labels are not bold on bug_report_page and bug_update_page. On bug_change_status_page, it seems OK (bold text and asterisk at required fields). 3) I think the autocomplete at due date field should be off. 4) If there are a lot of items on sidebar or the window with page is resized to small too much, other items are not displayed. I've tried to fix it with this CSS style but this "fix" breaks links displaying by hovering above them. [screen4] (before and after) 5) There was shorted text in each line on view_all_bug_page in Mantis 1, and after clicking that text was displayed all. Could you add this function in Mantis 2, please? 6) Colored lines according to current status was much better in Mantis 1 - it was more well arranged at the first sight. Another indispensable stuff for us. We made color more contrast - have a look. I think it is a good inspiration for you. [screen2] 7) Current way of notification is good for now but it would be more useful if there were even groups. 8) Could you make the link to each project where a user have a role on manage_user_edit_page? The link is also missing on manage_custom_field_edit_page. Let me know if you need more information. :) Regards, | ||||

Another quite helpful function that we are using a really lot is helper_current_page(). Could you add it into helper_api.php, please? function helper_current_page()
} function getPluginPageParam($param) { |

I have found this https://mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25354 color-coding plugin because of problem 6. as described. But your mod looks better on [screen2], any chance of sharing how it's done? |

Maybe wrong link. Our plugin even works on My View. [screen5] I can't share it, but I can say how it works. I think it would be really nice to have whole-colored rows in Mantis core like in Mantis 1. :) style.css (1,359 bytes)
/* status coloring - darker links */ #buglist tr a { color: #0063b7; } /* status coloring - darker text */ #buglist td { color: #222222; } /* new */ tr.status-10 { background-color: #ffcccc !important; /* Mantis 1 #fcbdbd */ } i.status-10-color { color: #fa9090; background-color: #fa9090; } /* feedback */ tr.status-20 { background-color: #ebc3f0 !important; /* Mantis 1 #e3b7eb */ } i.status-20-color { color: #d777eb; background-color: #d777eb; } /* acknowledged */ tr.status-30 { background-color: #ffe7c1 !important; /* Mantis 1 (doesn't exist) */ } i.status-30-color { color: #ffcd85; background-color: #ffcd85; } /* confirmed */ tr.status-40 { background-color: #ffffd2 !important; /* Mantis 1 (doesn't exist) */ } i.status-40-color { color: #fff494; background-color: #fff494; } /* assigned */ tr.status-50 { background-color: #c3e3ff !important; /* Mantis 1 #c2dfff */ } i.status-50-color { color: #7fbbff; background-color: #7fbbff; } /* resolved */ tr.status-80 { background-color: #d7f5b5 !important; /* Mantis 1 #d2f5b0 */ } i.status-80-color { color: #add200; background-color: #add200; } /* closed */ tr.status-90 { background-color: #d9d9d9 !important; /* Mantis 1 #c9ccc4 */ } i.status-90-color { color: #b0b0b0; background-color: #b0b0b0; } |

Almost all our improvements are done by plugins and it allows us quick updates of Mantis core. However we are staying in version 2.17 because I think no bigger bug fixed up to now isn't worth it to update. :) |

Thanks for the hint and css, I think that most boxes won't even need any js to be colorized and might do them from css. I've noticed now that the new look with little color boxes suits better for the Assigned to me, but will change the other ones probably. I updated the link I gave, it was working but the parsing replaced the ampersand symbol. Here it is again without it - https://mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=25354 Also, something related to one of your suggestions is already here 0025666 and even this one - https://github.com/bueltge/Chosen-for-MantisBT |

@Marty0 thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately, while it may trigger some interesting discussions, having a single issue regrouping many different topics is not very useful in terms of tracking their possible future inclusion within MantisBT. Consequently, I'm going to close this issue as it is not actionable in its current form. If you're interested in pursuing this, I would kindly ask you to submit each topic as a separate Issue, so they can be discussed and processed individually. However, before doing that, I would suggest that you first search for existing issues to avoid creating duplicates, as it is likely that at least some of of your ideas for improvement have already been identified (as @wutsdis already pointed out in 0026117:0062853).
With regards to 1.x-style painted screens, I can already tell you that this is a won't fix for MantisBT core. You're welcome to submit this as a 3rd-party plugin in mantisbt-plugins organization though. |

@wutsdis Thanks for the links. Chosen is probably the best solution for that, thanks. @dregad Thanks for your answer. I got it, I will report as individually after some searching. |
