Summary0009485: Filtering in all projects with permalink and hierachical projects does not work as expected
Description

To reproduce:

  • installation with a nested project hierarchy
  • Default: Advanced Filters
  • project "All projects" -> View Issues -> Create Permalink -> Click on Permalink
    Expected:
  • All issues again
    Seen:
  • Only issues in "head"-projects, not in sub-sub-projects.

Cause in filter_api.php:

  • Setting a project leads to "$t_include_sub_projects = false" (l479)
  • Even after discovering $t_pid == ALL_PROJECTS (l494), $t_include_sub_projects is false
  • user_get_accessible_projects gives only the top projects (l515).

The same problem should occur, if one permalinks to a project with sub-sub-projects.

My patch:
Always set $t_include_sub_projects

Reasoning:

  • Filtering with project_id seems only available through Permalinks.
  • When creating a Permalink, only the top project is put in the link.

Alternative:

  • Put a project and all its subprojects in the permalink
  • Drawback: Blows up the link.

It look like as if this relates to the problem described in Bug 0009410 and Bug 0010984 - which both describe a problem we see in our installation of Mantis as well.

Is anyone currently working on that? Can we help by providing another detailled description of the issue or by being available for questions regarding this topic (how to reproduce etc.)?
