Guest Bug Entry Page

djidave · Post by **djidave** » 09 Mar 2006, 14:58

How easy would it be (or has someone already done it) to create a single php page that could enter a bug as a Guest.

I want a single page that I can give links to that has none of the usual Mantis bars, etc.

I would like the simple bug entry view but with the project selection as part of the entry form.

Does anyone know where I can get info on doing this or is there a configuration that can create this.

Thanks

Did you consider allowing anonymous login and giving the anonymous user name access to report bugs? This will still show the menus, but the guest user will only be able to do what they are authorised to do.

If you don't want that, then you will have to do some custom development, you may need to implement a form that gets all the information, internally logs in, and creates the submitted issue.

I havent tried that extension yet. Im trying to figure out the best way to give beta sites limited access and be able to see the progress on the bugs they report, while not having access to anyone else's bugs. I pretty sure Mantis can do this out of the box but i havent tried that out yet. Each reporter would need a unique account. I'll report something here if i find any tricks or caveats.
