Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

For a PHP newbie with programming experience, is this going to be a difficult or drawn out task?

Are there any guides out there detailing what needs to be changed in the Mantis code to customize the fields for your own use?

I have no interest in using the "manage custom fields" feature that is built in, since I would like to remove or alter most of the fields that are set up by default.

if ( lang_get_current() == 'english' ) {
    $t_vars = get_defined_vars();
    foreach ( array_keys( $t_vars ) as $t_var ) {
        $$t_var = str_replace( 'bug', 'ticket', $$t_var );
        $$t_var = str_replace( 'Bug', 'Ticket', $$t_var );
    }
}
