E-mail notifications to all users added to private project

Hi,

I'd like ask someone to help me customize the e-mail notifications
settings in order to all users added to a private project will get
all e-mail notifications by default (but they should be able to enable/disable each notification type in the account preferences)

Currently, I have in following settings in my config_inc.php file:

$g_default_notify_flags = array('reporter' => ON,
'handler' => ON,
'monitor' => ON,
'bugnotes' => ON,
'threshold_min' => NOBODY,
'threshold_max' => NOBODY);

$g_notify_flags['new'] = array('bugnotes'=> ON,
'monitor' => ON);

I'm not sure if $g_notify_flags['new'] is set properly.
It seems that notifications are turned on only for
bugnotes and reports changes.
My aim is to send all notifications to all project assaigned users.

I removed $g_default_notify_flags and $g_notify_flags from the config_defaults_inc.php file.

Thanks for any help

Please don't remove lines from the config_defaults_inc file. This provides a fallback if you missed defining something.

For all messages to go to everyone, change the
'threshold_min' => NOBODY,
to
'threshold_min' => ANYBODY,

Note that this will affect all projects. If you are using v1.0.0a2 or later, you can do this on a project basis through the manage -> Manage Configuration -> Email Notifications page.

I see, I've misunderstood it a little.

I'm using 0.19.1, so it seems I should upgrade it ASAP.
Thanks for your help

Hi,

I've just upgraded my mantis to 1.0.0rc1 version and I see there are some new features.
I see Email Notifications page for single project but I still do not understand how to use it properly.
I've read Mantis manual but it is still not very clear.

Could you show me which options should I check in order to turn on ALL e-mail notifications to ALL users assigned to a private project?

or

Which options do I need to set in order to configure notifications about NEW report to ALL user assigned to project?

Thank you very much in advance

Check all of the boxes in the row beside the message "Status changes to 'new'".

Thank for the piece of advice but one more question from my side.
I have all checkboxes checked for as you suggest, besides that one, in following columns:

User who reported issue
User who is handling the issue
Users monitoring this issue
Users who added Bugnotes

but my question is if should I check also boxes for access levels?

Access Levels
viewer
reporter
updater
developer
manager
administrator

I've tried but I don't understand it well how all those checkboxes work, which depend on other etc.
Cheers
