history_get_raw_events_array returns no data

Darkness · Post by **Darkness** » 09 Mar 2006, 14:54

I am trying to hack some override functions together to generate some data for an IRC bot.

I created the file custom_functions_inc.php in the main folder.
In this file I created the functions:
* custom_function_override_issue_create_notify
* custom_function_override_issue_delete_notify
* custom_function_override_issue_update_notify

in custom_function_override_issue_update_notify, I call history_get_raw_events_array to get access to the history of an issue, but this does not seem to return any data. Neither does history_get_events_array.

Am I not allowed to call this function?
Do I need to include some file? (I tried with require_once ("core/history_api.php"); )

It's the history data that I would like to use for the IRC bot.

(btw, the overrides for update and delete do not work in rc5, I had to fix them myself, fix pending ;) )

edit: perhaps it was better to post it in the help section...

It would be great if you can submit any fixes to http://bugs.mantisbt.org. Also the code for the integration with IRC.

You will need to include any core API that you are using. In this case core/history_api.php as you indicated.

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'core' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'history_api.php' );

The above code will guarantee that the path is correct independent of where the custom functions header file is included from.

strange, this is what I did:
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'core' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'history_api.php' );

in the file custom_functions_inc.php. There I made the following function:

Code: Select all

function custom_function_override_issue_update_notify( $p_issue_id ) {
	if (file_exists("_updatefile.txt")){
		$contents = file_get_contents("_updatefile.txt");
	}
	else $contents ="";
	$output="issue updated: ".$p_issue_id."\n";
	$newfile="_updatefile.txt";
	$file = fopen ($newfile, "w");
	fwrite($file, $contents);
	fwrite($file, $output);
	fflush($file);
	$hist = history_get_raw_events_array( $p_bug_id ); 
	$history_count = count( $hist );
	$output="history ($history_count): ";  
	for ( $i=0; $i < $history_count; $i++ ) {
		
		$output.=$hist[$i]['date']."\t";  
		$output.=$hist[$i]['userid']."\t";  
		$output.=$hist[$i]['field']."\t";   
		$output.=$hist[$i]['type']."\t";  
		$output.=$hist[$i]['old_value']." => ";  
		$output.=$hist[$i]['new_value']."\t";  
		$output.=$hist[$i]['username']."\n";  
	}
	fwrite($file, $output."\n");
	fclose ($file); 
}

for some reason this results in _updatefile.txt:

Code: Select all

issue updated: 24
history (0):

I don't get any content of the history. If I put this code in history_api.php, I get all the necessary info in the textfile.
what's going wrong here?

hmm, something very strange is going on here with the code tag

I submitted the fixes for the custom functions here
When I succeeded in creating an IRC bot that makes use of the code I'm working on I will post the IRC bot here so other people can make use of it. I just need to work out some kind of protocol.

The parameter name is $p_issue_id and you use $p_bug_id.

thanks for seeing this :)

I would recommend you make sure that notices are ON, this will catch such things for you.

Let me know when you get things running :)

make sure notices are on??
I'm using a default install of rc5, and it did execute the overrriden function for create, but not for update and delete.

Post by **vboctor** » 10 Mar 2006, 02:46

I meant PHP notices are ON in order to catch problems like using an undefined variable like $p_bug_id. There may also be a config variable (I don't have access to it now) that allows you to make Mantis stop on a notice, rather than just output a message and continue.

oh, ok, I will check this. But for now I think I have the things I need to get an IRC bot working.

Will keep you guys updated ;)
