Change Log Problems

[greetingsc]

I can't find any information on how to populate the change log, I setup versions and have been closing bugs with 'closed in version', but nothing appears on the change log page for the project. Anything that I'm missing to jump start change log entries appearing.

You can customise the criteria for including an issue in the changelog by overriding the custom function custom_function_default_changelog_include_issue(). For more details about custom functions see http://manual.mantisbt.org/manual.custo ... ctions.php.

The default criteria for including an issue is:
- The issue must have duplicate_id = 0
- The issue must have a resolution = FIXED.
- The issue must have a status that is greater than $g_bug_resolved_status_threshold.

Also note that you will only see the entries that you have access to. So private issues will not be visible to users who don't have view rights to them.

I have a 'blank' ChangeLog too. I don't want to change the settings I just want to have resolved bugs appear in the Changelog. I have several hundred resolved bugs at all levels BUT the changelog remains completely blank . . . it's as though something needs ot be turned on to enable it.

Running Mantis 0.19.2 out of the box, unmodified.

Have you defined releases for the project, and set the "fixed in release" for the issues?

Ah excellent . . . that works perfectly.

Though it's not exactly intuitive. I had searched the docs for change log and not found anything.

Thanks Bob

See the following post on my blog relating to Changelogs in Mantis. I have created this post to make it easier to understand/use/customise changelogs.
