Mantis Theme Manager!

Post by SugarD-x »

Note: I did not make this!

I just found this epic theme manager on GitHub for MantisBT. Apparently it's made by a guy named Tim Pietrusky, given the site credits.

https://github.com/TimPietrusky/MantisThemeManager

All I can say is that this thing is amazing. I installed it, and his available theme "Rockstar" both in less than 2 minutes and it's working wonderfully. Someone has finally found a solution to our theme requests! :)

I have tested this on MantisBT version 1.2.11, and I have yet to see a single bug. If people start making more themes, uploading them as per his instructions to his site, and spread the word, we could have a ton of awesome themes to choose from in no time! :D

Thanks. You are truly a sugar :). I installed the them manger plgin. All works well except for one thing. On the change theme page, I cannot see the preview image of the rockstar theme. It uses a path of
../css/themes/rockstar/rockstar.png
while using firebug when I cahnged it to
css/themes/rockstar/rockstar.png
the image started appearing. But its a small bug, we can still select, unselect themes.

@dirshah: It seems to be on your end. I'm not getting the bug at all with a clean install. It could be a server configuration issue for relative paths. :P

I love this thing too! I wish more people would make themes, though!

As I have unfortunately found out, this only edits the CSS and images. It doesn't physically change any HTML code, which would be nice to have the ability to do so html_api.php and related files don't have to be directly edited, which leads to update issues later.

Regardless, this is the greatest thing I have found thus far for editing my MantisBT. :D
