• This list has been sorted alphabetically. Plugin names that begin with the name Mantis are not under M but under the specialty name of the plugin. For example, MantisStats is under S.
• The above list is by no means exhaustive. We are not aware of every available plugin.
  • If you authored a plugin which is not referenced here, please post a note to the Forum Plugins Section to let us know.
  • Plugins that were last updated prior to 2015 have intentionally not been listed here, as they are likely to be v1 only.
• References to MantisBT release (v1) (v2) or (v1&2) are not certain, but information/assumptions made from viewing the code. A missing MantisBT version indicator only indicates we are not certain of the exact release and it may be updated later. Please let us know of updates or corrections.
• (N/A) indicates there is no information available for the plugin
• If you have questions about a plugin, please contact the plugin author and/or post a note to the Forum Plugins Section. MantisBT core developers may not be able to help with a specific plugin unless they themselves maintain it.
• There is no guarantee that any plugin here is complete or functional.
• There is no guarantee of any kind for any of this Free and Open Source Software.
• Use at your own risk.

Many MantisBT plugins can be found at https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins. Others may be hosted elsewhere by their respective authors.

More plugins can be found at https://mantisbt.org/bugs. Typically they are stored as issue attachments using own projects (look at projects starting with “Plugin -”) or project “mantisbt” and category “Plugins”. It is recommended that those are migrated to the mantisbt-plugins organisation.

Ask in the Forum Plugins Section for existing software, and/or please consider motivating someone to create or modify a plugin for you.

A plugin is simply a directory with files in it. To install one:

1. Download and unzip the plugin files to your computer
2. Upload the plugin directory and the files it contains files under <yourMantisRoot>/plugins
3. In MantisBT go to page Manage > Manage Plugins. You will see a list of installed and currently not installed plugins
4. Click the Install link to install a plugin.

If you have authored a new Plugin and would like to have it hosted in our GitHub mantisbt-plugins organization, here is the simple process to follow:

• If you don't have a GitHub account yet, sign up, it's free.

• Make your request by either
  • sending an e-mail to The MantisBT development mailing list (you will need to signup if you are not already subscribing to the list),
  • posting a message on our Gitter channel
  • Notifying us in an ongoing discussion on our bugtracker, forums or via some other communication channel
• Please include the following information in your message:
  • a link to the repository (we usually review the code before including it in the Organization)
  • the plugin's name and a short description (if not provided, we'll use the information in the source code, i.e. $this→name and $this→description)
  • the list of people who should have push access to the new repository (i.e. their Github user IDs), including yourself

• If the plugin is a GitHub public repository that you own
  1. We will
     • Create a Team for you to manage the plugin
     • Setup access rights
     • Notify you by e-mail when it's done
  2. You can now transfer ownership of the repository, following the instructions on GitHub Help
  3. Let us know when you're done

• If the plugin is not yet on GitHub (e.g. hosted elsewhere or a local repo)
  1. We will
     • Create a blank repository
     • Setup access rights
     • Notify you by e-mail when it's done
  2. Clone the new repository
  3. Commit and Push your changes

• Don't forget to Reference your plugin in the list above.
  If you would like to have your own wiki page, again send us an e-mail and we'll create it for you

• If you do not get feedback in mantisbt-dev, try gitter/mantisbt, and/or post a note to the Forum Plugins Section.

This section describes how to manage the teams in the organization; it is targeted at the organization's owners.

1. Create the new repo
2. Create the new team
3. Name it after the plugin being added, i.e. Plugin XXXX
4. Grant permissions
   • When transferring an existing GitHub repo, select Push, Pull and Administrative
     Note: Admin rights are required to transfer ownership, so they will be granted temporarily and removed afterwards
   • When creating a new plugin (blank repo), select Push & Pull
5. Add members
6. Add the repository
7. Grant the core-developers team access to the repository

Follow the steps above, skipping 1, 6 and 7. Then, once the original owner has completed the transfer,

• Revoke Administrative access from the Plugin XXXX group
• Perform step 7
