Re: Theme Plugin BeachSide

@MadkaT - That's pretty cool. I suggest you offer your services for a fee. End-users with MantisBT tend to be companies with a need to do extensive issue tracking. These companies appreciate FOSS but they also need to appreciate the value of keeping developers alive to write more FOSS. The model I s...

Re: Example of custom authentication provider with SampleAuth

The approach I would take with this is to look into the Mantis code to see how it determines whether a user is logged in, and what it does when a user is not. Then: Is there a hook there for alternative behavior? If so, look to see what a hooked event handler needs to accept and return. If not, see ...

Re: Extend rest api

@federico - Let's be specific. What would you like to add to the API? Maybe we can clone and adapt code, then submit a GH PR.

As to OO, PHP is now pretty good with OO. I suggest you look for existing code and model after the good examples.

Re: Better solution than MantisBT

Good points... @cas is right that we need to use Mantis as-intended. It's not a tool for a site that already has very rigid rules. But my experience tells me that for a site that does not track issues effectively, that MantisBT helps to establish good practices. I have helped a few companies to esta...

No prob. If you'd ike to discuss plugin creation, check out the forum section dedicated to that topic. (See my sig) Just a note - I'm no expert in the area and don't have a lot of time right now to provide many details. My goal is to provide a forum for such discussions, to attract "like minds&...

Re: Better solution than MantisBT

Um, no. That's why we're here. Seriously ... MantisBT has a lot of features and it's aggressively supported. Yes, there is a huge list of issues, but most of the "bugs" reported against this software are requests for enhancements, not really faults. So you can use the software and experien...

When I modify it, I personalize/brand it with screenshots of the client-specific tracker. Screenshots include their employee names, their product names, etc. I will re-wor...

Re: Custom Field: Reopen Counter

I think what you want is a trigger so that when a ticket is changed from Resolved/Closed status to anything else, that the value of a custom field is incremented. Is that a focused description of this challenge? I think we can refine that further, that it sounds like you'd like a plugin which will c...

Re: Git integration using source-integration plugin fails

RE the date: 1970-01-01 01:00:00 That's the integer value for 0, displayed in the date format, with a 1-hour offset. So whatever column it's using for date, it's getting 0 or maybe text which it is then converting to 0. While I'm not 100% certain, this seems to be just another indication that the co...
