Hello
I want to increase the length of summary field while reporting a bug.
one thing i done is that i changed the length in the db.
VARCHAR(128) to VARCHAR(225).
But again there is a UI validation for this.
If user start typing a text in summary field, it can not type anything beyond the certain length. (128)
When i viewed the source of the bug_report_page.php, i can see the maxlength parameter set to 128.
<!-- Summary -->
<tr class="row-2">
<td class="category">
<span class="required">*</span>Summary </td>
<td>
<input tabindex="6" type="text" name="summary" size="105" maxlength128 value="" />
</td>
</tr>
but where i have to change this. i mean not getting that page in Mantis folder.

I am not sure whether I understand your question,
you have to change one line in file bug_report_page.php from maxlength="128" to maxlength="225"
Be aware that there might be other pages which could be affected, I didn't check

I don't know which version of MantisBT you use, if it's version 1.2.0 then change line 406 in file bug_report_page.php
from
Code: Select all
<input <?php echo helper_get_tab_index() ?> type="text" name="summary" size="105" maxlength="128" value="<?php echo string_attribute( $f_summary ) ?>" />
to
Code: Select all
<input <?php echo helper_get_tab_index() ?> type="text" name="summary" size="105" maxlength="225" value="<?php echo string_attribute( $f_summary ) ?>" />
If this is not clear enough, I don't know how to help you, maybe other users understand your problem
