My User like this idea too. As 'workaround' change ordering of bugnotes.
($g_bugnote_order = "DESC";)

I don't agree with excluding old notes. However, I will leave this open so that in the future the ordering can be a user preference rather than a general configuration.

Wouldn't it be OK to customize the number of bugnotes? Something like n'th newest.
We have long tickets with 20+ notes, so the mail is really long.
I would prefer both: Ordering and Number.

we have tickets with enormously long notes.

there really should be a user option to limit to the last N notes of bugs, it's really annoying to get emails over and over with eg 40 notes, each of the notes being several pages long.

I've created a patch for this, it does the following things:

1. Let the users define their own bugnote order in preferences.
2. Let the users define the limit of bugnotes in email.

I will send the patch to the Mantis team for the next release.

Thank you, Bastian.

The coding guidelines apparantly aren't all that clear on this, but the line

if ($t_email_bugnote_limit == 0)
{

should be formatted as

if ( 0 == $t_email_bugnote_limit ) {

(just for future reference - the patch is small enough that I can clean this up myself)

I'll try to commit the functionality tomorrow.

:)

Ok, I will take a look at the coding guidelines next time!

OK, I've applied the patch.

Changes:

• I think you misreferenced a preference field somewhere
• Formatting :-)
• Created SQL upgrade scripts
• Added a default value to that query that adds bugnote_order, because existing users were getting two unselected radio boxes. The default value is set to the configured system default.

I haven't tested the mail, so I hope you did :-)
