Re: Regarding Custom status settings

I am using MantisBT v2.25.6. In the Manage view, under the tab "Manage Configuration" there is are two sub tabs, "Workflow Thresholds" and "Workflow Transitions". These may be what you seek. Bear in mind that you can override defaults in these panels for a single projec...

Re: workflow which includes ideas/wishes/suggestions ?

I customized the thresholds and such in Mantis to match our development flow. I have attached a PDF of our MantisBT Work Flow diagram.
Information about customizing thresholds and such can be found in the documentation.
I hope this helps.

Inherited Version in projects

I have several projects that are sub-projects of a "main" project. The purpose was to share versions and categories across the sub-projects, and enforce a bit more consistency in the sub-projects. That has worked but is a bit wonky here and there. For example, I cannot mark a Version as &q...

Re: uniqueness of a record in a custom field

The tricky bit is adding the function call to the default values field. I will dig up an example.

Re: uniqueness of a record in a custom field

Build a plugin that is invoked by the custom field can do the trick. In the custom field definition, you can enter the function call, and set up an event trigger for that. We use this approach for job numbers and some lookups.

Re: Mantis as a Vulnerability Tracking Tool?

I haven't used Mantis to track vulnerabilites. As you point out, there is a fair number of ifs and buts that need to be addressed. Extending Mantis is not too hard as the data model is reasonable. I have integrated Mantis into our internal engineering tracking and billing. It works pretty well, and ...

Re: Dashboard, KPI & Stats tool

I suggest a git project, or similar, to allow others to help with review and elaboration. I can help with creating a plug-in. I have several that could be a model.

Re: Dashboard, KPI & Stats tool

I was hoping the op, tookei, would post the code even if it didn't work. I see that tookei has not logged on in over a year.
Anyone want to start a new project with similar goals?

Re: Html a Tag inside a description field

One option is to use a service like https://tinyurl.com/app to create short url's. One could create a customization to add a feature like that to MantisBT as a plugin. It might be an interesting challenge if you like programming. I think the feature might appeal to many MantisBT users. *Shameless Pl...

require fixed_in_version on close

How do I require the "Fixed In" field to be set when resolving or closing an issue?
Can this be set on a per project basis?

Re: Adding custom fields to project page

Thanks. At first glance, that plugin is bit more than what I have in mind. I will download the code and have a look at it. I was trying find the "event" that might trigger the building of the project page under management. Is there a document that offers insight into the MantisBT architect...

Re: Adding custom fields to project page

It has been a while since I poked around in the code. I leave that to Andy mostly. However, I want to outline this idea before handing off. I checked out the files at github that contain the word "proj" and "project" but came up no smarter than when I started. I would be grateful...

Adding custom fields to project page

We have a need to add a couple of fields to the project definition page. We feel it would be best not to hack the core code. Better to add a new feature similar to the custom fields for issues. Is there support for this in MantisBT? Has anyone discussed adding "custom fields" to the projec...
