Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Thanks for the encouragement

I have grand visions of doing the properly and well, so we'll see how things go.

Yes, at least for the default project. You'd need this or RTFM to see how it works for sure.

Manage | Users and select yourself or another user. Scroll down to the Account Preferences section. About 8 items down the list is Notify on New. Check yes.
You'll get a notification for each new issue/bug.

For those (any) of you who care... I've started putting some plans down on digital paper for mantis pager. Find it here:

I'm just getting the ball rolling on the rewrite, so don't get too excited :?

Thanks to all of the folks in this thread that helped with Joomla/Mantis integration. Following the step above, I was able to integrate things very well. I'd send a demo site link, but it's for clients only... :/ (not mine, my clients clients).

RE: Joomla w/o IFRAME. The IFRAME allows us to use ...
