Re: Migrating from TRAC to Mantis

My company provides data migrations, and we have used MantisBT since 2000. Data migrations can be costly and time consuming. The biggest obstacle is verifying that the new database is a truly accurate representation of the old system; that task falls to the user/client. The upshot is that it may be ...

Re: Mantis Migration from 1.2.x to 2.2.25: Attachment files in private note

I cannot tell you why MantisBT put all the attachments into one bug note.

Have you checked user, project and issue permissions? It seems possible that some bit of data from the v1.2 source was "private" which might cause the updater to mark all as such... that is WAG(tm).

Re: Regarding Custom status settings

I am using MantisBT v2.25.6. In the Manage view, under the tab "Manage Configuration" there is are two sub tabs, "Workflow Thresholds" and "Workflow Transitions". These may be what you seek. Bear in mind that you can override defaults in these panels for a single projec...

Re: workflow which includes ideas/wishes/suggestions ?

I customized the thresholds and such in Mantis to match our development flow. I have attached a PDF of our MantisBT Work Flow diagram.
Information about customizing thresholds and such can be found in the documentation.
I hope this helps.

Inherited Version in projects

I have several projects that are sub-projects of a "main" project. The purpose was to share versions and categories across the sub-projects, and enforce a bit more consistency in the sub-projects. That has worked but is a bit wonky here and there. For example, I cannot mark a Version as &q...

Re: uniqueness of a record in a custom field

The tricky bit is adding the function call to the default values field. I will dig up an example.

Re: uniqueness of a record in a custom field

Build a plugin that is invoked by the custom field can do the trick. In the custom field definition, you can enter the function call, and set up an event trigger for that. We use this approach for job numbers and some lookups.

Re: Mantis as a Vulnerability Tracking Tool?

I haven't used Mantis to track vulnerabilites. As you point out, there is a fair number of ifs and buts that need to be addressed. Extending Mantis is not too hard as the data model is reasonable. I have integrated Mantis into our internal engineering tracking and billing. It works pretty well, and ...

Re: Dashboard, KPI & Stats tool

I was hoping the op, tookei, would post the code even if it didn't work. I see that tookei has not logged on in over a year.
Anyone want to start a new project with similar goals?

Re: Html a Tag inside a description field

One option is to use a service like https://tinyurl.com/app to create short url's. One could create a customization to add a feature like that to MantisBT as a plugin. It might be an interesting challenge if you like programming. I think the feature might appeal to many MantisBT users. *Shameless Pl...

How do I require the "Fixed In" field to be set when resolving or closing an issue?
