Can anyone tell me how the ChangeLog feature is activated? It's empty for my project right now.

By default the change log shows issues that are resolved with resolution = fixed and that have the "fixed in release" set to a specific release.

I didn't have a 'Fixed in Version' drop-down in my bug update page that would allow me to set this value. As a result, I couldn't get any issues to populate the Change Log. Taking a look in the code in the 'bug_update_page.php' I find the lines below:

Code: Select all

<?php /*
<tr <?php echo helper_alternate_class() ?>>
	<!-- Fixed in Version -->
	<td class="category">
		<?php echo lang_get( 'fixed_in_version' ) ?>
	</td>
	<td colspan="5">
		<select name="fixed_in_version">
			<?php print_version_option_list( $t_bug->fixed_in_version, $t_bug->project_id, VERSION_ALL ) ?>
		</select>
	</td>
</tr>
 */ ?>

Note the '*/' which appears to funk up this piece of code out(I'm not a php coder so I'm just guessing here). When I remove the leading <?php /* and trailing */ ?> I was able to view and update the 'Fixed in Version' field and the Change Log is populated accordingly.

I am using mantis-1.0.0rc5

Possible bug in the code?

Funny you should post this today, when I decided I wanted to use this feature and can't find any way to set it either.

Those /* */ have commented out that code - but why has that been done?

I'm just about to release my software to my client and his customers, and need to implement this ASAP, like tonight. I'm expecting a whole host of bug reports of the next two weeks, and expect to be releasing new versions a couple of times a day. I need to track which bugs have been fixed in which versions in order to know whether a particular client needs updating.

Having now played with it for a bit, I've now realized that it does not really do what I want, since it requires assigning a separate version for each project and isb-project and that's what is is in the dropdown.

What I really want to do is have a fixed_in_build, where the build number is across the whol set of projects.

I guess I'll use a custom field.
