Customizing bug report's workflow

CodePoet · Post by **CodePoet** » 21 Nov 2005, 07:34

I want to customize the workflow for view.php. Basically i just want update any changes on page when user presses any button. So if there are 2 buttons, one to reassign the bug and other to change its status, i want to combine those to actions into one so user can change the status and reassign with one click.

For this i want to know what files would i need to grab the code from and any other things i might need to consider. Any help is much appreciated.

Found it.. i basically moved the logic to next page so user will have to change status and then i placed in checks to make sure they could reassign on the same page as well!

This sounds exactly what i'd like to do, basically, make it so that when the engineer fixes the bug then it gets reasigned to qa for regression. Currently, its too easy to not remember to also reassign when you fix (since this was automatic in our old bugtracking system).

Unfortunately this leads to a lot of bugs sitting in limbo until they get discovered, making Mantis feel cumbersome. I think this would be great to include in the next rev of Mantis (or as an option in the config_inc.php file)

So, can you tell me what parts of the code you changed, filenames, code snipets or line numbers if you can. Its probably simple but im not exactly a programmer and i'm just winging it, so any additional pointers would be greaatly appreciated.
