MantisBT is highly customizable through the web interface and configuration files. Configuration options can be set globally as well as customized for a specific project or user (except for options listed in
$g_global_settings, see
Section 5.5, “Configuration Settings”).
Configuration options can be set in config_inc.php and in the database (using the various manage pages). Values stored in the database take precedence over values defined in config_inc.php. The former can also be viewed and updated on the Configuration Report page (Manage > Configuration > Configuration Report).
To determine which value to use, MantisBT follows the list below, sequentially searching for the specified configuration option until a match is found.
database: current user, current project
database: current user, all projects
database: all users, current project
database: all users, all projects
config_inc.php
config_defaults_inc.php
