The plugin has been put on http://git.mantisforge.org/.
This should work with release 1.2.0a3.

When enabled, the Tag Cloud is visible for all projects,

The latest code will only show the tags from the currently selected project.
If 'All Projects' is selected on the view bugs page, then tags will ...

Re: Table prefix

Hi

In your config_inc.php file add the following:-

Code: Select all

	
$g_db_table_prefix		= 'newprefix';
Replacing 'newprefix' with whatever you want your table prefix to be.

You could also change the table suffix from '_table' to by adding:-

Code: Select all

	
$g_db_table_suffix		= '_newsuffix';

Re: exporting from xp to 2003

I assume that you already have your database and webserver software set up and running on your 2003 machine.

First of all copy your database to the new server.

Re: Installation mantisbt-1.1.6 with XAMPP

Hi Gochi

You need to add the email configuration options to your config_inc.php file.
See the manual at http://www.mantisbt.org/manual/manual.configuration.email.php
for details of how to do this.
Also look through these forums, as help on configuring email is a common topic.

Re: Installation mantisbt-1.1.6 with XAMPP

Hi Gochi.

The first thing to do is secure your xampp installation (see the xampp security page).

Assuming you have your xampp directory as c:\xampp
Extract mantis to c:\xampp\htdocs.
This will give you a folder c:\xampp\htdocs\mantisbt-1.1.6
Rename this folder to c:\xampp\htdocs\mantisbt

Hi Victor

I have made a 1.2 plugin to add a TagCloud to the view bugs page.
I have posted it here as the most appororiate place rather than on the bug tracker.

How are contributed plugins going to be handled (and maintained) ?

Re: Time delay for relogin in admin section

Hi

This value is set in file core/constant_inc.php
Near the end of the file is the line:-

Code: Select all

define( 'TOKEN_EXPIRY_AUTHENTICATED', 5*60 );
This is the expiry time in seconds.
You can change this value to whatever value you think will be long enough.

Re: Drupal Integration - any ideas ?

Hi naeemp

I'm pleased that you found my post useful.

In answer to your questions.

1) Not all of my Mantis users have Drupal accounts, so this code checks if the user is logged into Drupal. If not then I want the normal Mantis authentication process to be used.

2) This code was to fetch the ...

Re: Drupal Integration - any ideas ?

Hi

I have made a small customisation to mantis to get it to login automatically whenever I am logged into a Drupal site running on the same server.
There must be a Mantis user account for the same userid that you are using for Drupal.
This does not have any automatic logout functionality.

Yes it is getting slightly away from the title of the topic, but I agree that single sign on is an important requirement.
Ideally I would like to be able to configure mantis so that it would be able to recognise that a user is already logged into something I trust, whether that is NTLM, X509, http ...
