Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

I'm trying to validate a custom field value when the user attempts to update a defect. In order to do this, I have created a custom function using the following procedure:
1) I copied the function function custom_function_default_issue_update_validate(...) from the file custom_function_api.php.
2) I pasted the function in new file called custom_functions_inc.php and renamed the function to custom_function_override_issue_update_validate(...
3) I put the custom_functions_inc.php in the directory: .../mantisbt-1.2.5
4) Inside the customized ...issue_update_validate, for now, I simply put an "echo" statement to ensure that the new function was called. It apparently is not because I see no echo message anywhere.

My question: Am I doing something wrong (either in the creation of the override function or with the echo statement)?

I'm using Mantis 1.2.5.

Thanks in advance.

Use instead of echo
This stops the whole script and displays the message
If not, you are sure that your code is not executed
