Help with custom buttons

[firasnajjar]

I am trying to add a custom button but I couldn't figure it out; I know about custom_function_default_print_bug_view_page_custom_buttons, but couldn't find anything about how to use it; I looked everywhere to the best of my knowledge.

Is there any code to be added inside: custom_function_default_print_bug_view_page_custom_buttons?

If anyone can send me a sample code that would be great.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance,

Mantis version is: 1.1.2

Try the Mantis Manual. It's for 1.1.2 but most of it also applies to 1.1.1

Thank you for your reply. I tried the manual but it has nothing about "custom buttons".
Thanks again

Because I have to add a button; that's what I did: (I hope this helps whoever needs help).

I need a button to link Mantis to another application so... (I found 2 solutions to *my* problem). This code is probably a mess but it works for me

First solution:

1- Added new page that only redirects to my other application link_page.php (Code is shown below)

2- In strings_english.txt: $s_link_mantis_to_app = 'Go to App';

3- In config_inc.php: $g_link_mantis_to_app = 'http://thelink_to_my_app.com/file.php?MantisID='.$_POST['bug_id'];

4- Add new table MANTIS_CUSTOM_BUTTONS. Fields(Custom_Button_ID [auto increment], Project_ids [projects ids you want to make this button available to, comma seperated])

5- In html_api.php:

Code: Select all

	
	function html_button_mantis_link( $p_bug_id ) {

            $query = 'SELECT PROJECT_IDS FROM MANTIS_CUSTOM_BUTTONS WHERE CUSTOM_BUTTON_ID = 1';
            $result = db_query( $query );
            $row = db_fetch_array( $result );
            $t_project_ids_button = $row['PROJECT_IDS'];

            $is_project_id = 0;
            $split_project_ids = split(',', $t_project_ids_button); //$t_project_ids_button
            $split_project_ids_cnt = count($split_project_ids);

                for ($i=0; $i<$split_project_ids_cnt; $i++) {
                    if (helper_get_current_project() == $split_project_ids[$i]) {
                        $is_project_id = 1;
                    }
                }
            
		if ( $is_project_id == 1 ) {
			html_button( 'link_page.php',
				      lang_get( 'link_mantis_to_app', 'english' ),
				      array( 'bug_id' => $p_bug_id, 'action' => 'link' ) );
		}
	}

6- Use the same name for config_get and lang_get functions without the $s_/$g_ (Like 'link_mantis_to_app')

Code mentioned in step 1 (link_page.php):

Code: Select all

<?php
	require_once( 'core.php' );

	$t_redirect = config_get( 'link_mantis_to_app' );

	html_meta_redirect( $t_redirect );
?>

<br />
<div align="center">
<?php
	echo lang_get( 'operation_successful' ) . '<br />';
	print_bracket_link( $t_redirect, lang_get( 'proceed' ) );
?>
</div>
<?php html_page_bottom1( __FILE__ ) ?>

End of first solution (Did the solution give you a headache? ).

Second solution:

My second and easier solution is: (This is much better, at least for me and you'll see why)

1- Added new custom field of type string.
2- The value of the string is a URL to the application I want to connect to.
3- In Page: string_api.php, function: string_insert_hrefs: chagned the code below to append the hyper link with the MantisID value:

Code: Select all

		
# Find any URL in a string and replace it by a clickable link
		/*$p_string = preg_replace( '/(([[:alpha:]][-+.[:alnum:]]*):\/\/(%[[:digit:]A-Fa-f]{2}|[-_.!~*\';\/?%^\\\\:@&={\|}+$#\(\),\[\][:alnum:]])+)/se',
                                                                 "'<a href=\"'.rtrim('\\1','.').'\">\\1</a> [<a href=\"'.rtrim('\\1','.').'\" target=\"_blank\">^</a>]'",
                                                                 $p_string);*/

#TO THIS

		$p_string = preg_replace( '/(([[:alpha:]][-+.[:alnum:]]*):\/\/(%[[:digit:]A-Fa-f]{2}|[-_.!~*\';\/?%^\\\\:@&={\|}+$#\(\),\[\][:alnum:]])+)/se',
                                                                 "'<a href=\"'.rtrim('\\1','.').'?MantisID=".$_GET['id']."\">\\1?MantisID=".$_GET['id']."</a> [<a href=\"'.rtrim('\\1','.').'\" target=\"_blank\">^</a>]'",
                                                                 $p_string);

End of second solution.

Yeah
