Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

Hi,

we want to install a company wide mantis but have many (~ 50) small projects (e.g. libraries, docs, etc.). I started to add them to our BTS but realized that using the dropdown soon becomes a bit cumbersome. I read (somewhere in the mantis BTS) that the handling of many projects would be improved in the 1.1.X Version but found no details. Can anybody give me some hints how to best manage many projects using mantis. Does anybody already have experience?

Thanks very much

best regards,
Sebastian

i had the same problem. we have over 30 projects/subprojects.
you can enable the extra menu bar.
to enable the menu you have to edit config.inc and add
# --- show extra menu bar with all available projects ---
$g_show_project_menu_bar = ON;

you get an extra menu bar with links for all projects. the problem with this menu was that with so many projects it seems overloaded an is not very well to use. my solution for this problem is that i change the default menu and include a menu from http://phplayersmenu.sourceforge.net/ex ... ormenu.php
