Re: Hiding existing issues and categories

I'm thinking maybe the best thing to do is copy the existing database and start over with a new one

Is there a mechanism in Mantis do allow for the creation of a new, unused database?

Re: Hiding existing issues and categories

That defeats the concept of private versus public does it not?

What's the point of having a Project private if it opens up all categories to public view?

Re: Hiding existing issues and categories

So you're saying if ALL projects were private no categories would be displayed to REPORTERS but since some projects are public they are?

Re: Hiding existing issues and categories

Thanks for the suggestions - I've made good progress but one issue remains A REPORTER can select from the Projects that have been made PUBLIC and the PRIVATE ones do not show in the initial screen Capture.JPG When presented with the next screen, ALL categories or all Projects are displayed in the Ca...

Re: Reporters can't create a new issue

Ok thanks

I've successfully upgraded

MantisBT Version 2.25.2
Schema Version 209

That seems to have fixed the problem, thanks so much for your assistance!

There remains one issue but there is another thread about it so I will post it there

Reporters can't create a new issue

Even though under Workflow Thresholds, REPORTER is checked as being allowed to "Report an issue", when one tries, all that happens is they're returned to the report an issue screen. I can attach a screencap video if that will help figure it out

Re: Hiding existing issues and categories

Sounds reasonable. What field is the determiner of public or private? Searching the tables for those words apparently aren't

Hiding existing issues and categories

My Mantis BT system has years of categories (and issues within those categories) that have been used by Administrator users only. I'd like to start adding some Reporters and only allow them viewing/access to new issues and not existing ones. I've tried to change such things as $g_default_bug_view_st...

Removing old attachments from database

My Mantis MySQL database is HUGE, mostly due to old uploads that are no longer needed.

Is there an easier way to delete them other than going through each post and deleting them?
