hi and thx for your support.
I've seen this before and I tried to use it and I created the DB tables as said in that page, but I destroyed my mantis, can you please explain how to apply this plugin?
+ is it compatible with mantis 1.2? I see that all these files are from ~2007, they're quite old...

It seems you didn't read the following note of the mentioned issue
https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=5278#c29688
the modified Mantis source code is based on version 1.05. It will not work on version 1.25.
I see no change of the code since this note.
You could add a note to the issue and ask user HeikoNorderstedt, if they finished the development as a plugin and if it's available for download.

yeah you're right I didn't read that note.
but wait, It's kinda confusing is this a plugin that I have to upload from the plugin upload UI or it's like a hack/patch? I thought I should paste it and overwrite the original manits files?
If I understand correctly, the current files
Code: Select all

Mantis_0192_UserCustomFields.zip (38,344 bytes) 2005-02-24 11:31

Mantis105CustomUsterFields.zip (38,258 bytes) 2007-06-13 10:55
are a patch or a mod compatible with mantis 1.05
and according to this comment:
We are currently working to make the custom user fields to a plugin. After testing the plugin we will make it available. But this will take some time.
he's now trying to create a plugin for it for newer mantis right?
but
The develpment is almost complete. We are testing at the moment.
Did he release it somewhere? and do you know how can I contact him? the mantisBT doesn't show the email address...
And thanks a lot for helping

I think no. I searched, but didn't find something.

We don't publish email adresses to avoid spam being sent to our users.
Let's wait some days if there is feedback for
https://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=5278#c50846
If not, I will try to contact him via email.

I wrote an email to him.
I am not sure that this will help as I wrote to the same address that he used in our tracker and forum.
