submit new issue via url parameters

[schuffr]

Hi Folks,

Is it possible to submit a new issue via url parameters? We have an existing application that does so to a jira installation, but we'd like to move to Mantis and we need this functionality. If its possible, can somebody please point me to documentation for doing this?

thanks

rob

Hi Victor,

right and thanks, but I am hoping for a solution using url parameters. If it doesn't exist I'll have to go with mantis connect.

Can an issue be submitted then from a cold fusion app without using any of the client libraries?

This can easily be implemented. There are two issues you will need to think about:

1. What kind of authentication do you require for someone using this URL? This is more of an issue if you are running this on Internet rather than Intranet.

2. What information do you need to pass through? For example, you may not be interested to pass the "additional info" and "steps to reproduce" but you may be interested in specific subset.

What you will need to develop is a PHP page which takes some parameters from the query string and uses this to call bug_create() from core/bug_api.php.

Regards,
Victor.
