hello everyone,

I hope you all have a heard about Mantis. Anyways, Mantis is a program whose license free itself gives everyone the right to use, study, modify, duplicate, make and sell such software without consideration. I want to customize Mantis. How can i do the same ?

any ideas...

I use Mantis for lot of different projects in the same database.

It would be very useful customizing Mantis in different ways between projects.

In config_inc.php, I'd like to customize differently for each project :

- control on notifications by email (notify_flags...),
- status settings (most is : $g_status_enum_workflow),
- misc settings (most is : $g_set_status_threshold),
- enum strings

You can easily remove non-mandatory fields (mandatory fields are summary / description) from the report / update / view pages. This requires a very simple edit of a couple of PHP files.

Through configuration you can specify the columns to be included in View Issues, Print Issues, CSV export pages. In the next version, such customization can easily be used per project, per user through and can be done for Excel export as well.

To change the display just:

- Be at the level of directory Mantis BT Web Server
- Go to Directory Core
- Edit the file Custom_Function_api.php

You can also add the add-ons to the Mantis you need. For this, you need to download grazing...
the unzip to a directory in our case it will be under the directory'' 'Plugins''' directory'' '''Mantis'
then change from'' 'Line 481''' file''\ mantis \ config_defaults_inc.php''
g_use_jpgraph = $ 1;
$ g_jpgraph_path = '/ wamp / www / mantis / plugins / jpgraph / src /';

And finally insert'' 'at line 26''' file''\ mantis \ plugins \ jpgraph \ src \ jpgraph.php''
DEFINE ( 'DIR_BASE', '\ wamp \ www \ mantis \ plugins \ jpgraph \ src');
