how to make bug really "private"

Post by kitkits »

Hi everybodies,

I am here to see is there anyone can give me a quick help.

I've just install Mantis 1.1.8 under Linux and MySQL environment. Everythings run smooth and I think it is a great bug tracker software. However I have some problem during using it. I dunno why the issues are still visible when I report it as a "private" issue.

I try to set the the project to "private" and assign few users as the "developer" role within the project. I try to use one of the user report an issue and set it as a "private" issue, but the issue are still list on the "Unassigned" list of another user's "My view" page (the issue contents are viewable as well).

Is there somethings wrong with my mantis setting, or may be I mis-understand the meaning of "private"? (Sorry for my poor english :mrgreen: )

check your config for this parameter:
/**
* threshold for viewing private news
* @global int $g_private_news_threshold
*/
$g_private_news_threshold = DEVELOPER;

If you want that nobody can see private issues set it to NOBODY

Thank you for your reply but I still get the same problem :( .

I had try the set the paramenter into "NOBODY" but seems the private issue can still be searched by the others. I've try to use a developer account (USER01) to report a new issue. Assign it to another developer (USER02) and set it as private. But another developer in the same project (USER03) can still search and view that private issue.

Is there any other parameters that I can work around?

Yes this was my fault.
I ghave you the wrong parameter. this one is for private news.

try this one:

# access level needed to view private bugs
# Look in the constant_inc.php file if you want to set a different value
$g_private_bug_threshold = DEVELOPER;
