On looking at your GH code, and this is why it's great to code share, I see your code is doing an echo of the desired header markup. But the doc says the Return Value of the function gets inserted into the doc being built. So I recommend you change echo to return to see if that results in an overrid...

Not to bore anyone but just to explain why I jumped in here: I've been a developer for about 40 years. While not a PHP pro in a long list of language skills, I do a lot of noodling with modern FOSS, and that requires frequent excursions with PHP. For websites I use WordPress extensively (highly reco...

Rather than replacing entire files, I believe you want to make use of the Event system. See chapter 5 in the docs for specific events, and chapter 4 for how to hook into them. Similarly, rather than replacing CSS, the whole point of CSS is that user sheets can overload/supercede whatever comes befor...

If a Manager has global access, and we set all managers to receive notifications, does the manager need to be added to a project to get notifications from that specific product?

Or does global access also imply global, unassigned notifications?

Thanks.

$g_return_path_email = 'email@domain.com'; must be same as $g_smtp_username = 'email@domain.com'; Can anyone verify that this is really a requirement? I set my returnpath to an alias that agrees with the From, not an actual address which gets assigned many aliases. Is this really a "thing"...

I've created tickets for my client, then set to Feedback status and Assigned to a client/user. But waiting for feedback implies feedback from the author. Is there a correct configuration to request feedback from someone else so that Their view shows that feedback is requested from Them? I suppose af...

OK, I've found that if I use #123 ~456 with a space between them, Mantis changes the space to a colon to show 123:456 as a single link.
That's cool and I'm happy, just didn't know the trick.
Thanks!

With 2.8.0 I was getting the error 505 until I finally changed the perms of my attachments folder to 777. I don't think that's safe but I'm open to correction. I can put the folder outside of the web space: /var/www/tracker/attachments rather than inside web space where it's open to the public: /var...

Respectfully, I demonstrated that I already know how to change linking. I asked specific questions that are not answered in the doc. Thanks.

I have $g_manage_project_threshold = ADMINISTRATOR so that managers don't mess with project details. But it's OK if they see a list of projects and categories in read-only mode. I know there is Not a setting $g_view_project_threshold, but is there another way to accomplish this goal? Same could be s...

I've seen references to issue:note in the mantisbt.org tracker. What's the syntax to create that elegant link? Are you guys using #123:~456? Are you copy/pasting the link associated with a note so that it renders as 123:456 ? I'm just setting up a new environment and have changed the simple referenc...

As often happens, you look and look and after feeling like you've done your research you post to a forum... and then you find the answers after clicking just one or two more pages... Are these old solutions still valid? http://www.mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19243 https://www.mantisb...

I'd like to create a test project where new users can experiment. This should be a sandbox that's separated from other projects to avoid tests from showing in lists, effectiveness, etc. I'd like to avoid creating a completely separate environment but it looks like this might be the best option for t...

Just stumbled on this issue. v2.8.0 and the doc still suggests the new format.

OK, so how does a prolific writer with book credits, former QA manager, current business owner, and eager MantisBT user prove his worth and get access to update the Admin Guide?

I haven't done a full install / config / manage of MantisBT since v1. As I go through this now I'm VERY pleased with the new look in v2, the functionality, the docs, and all of the effort that's been put into this. Sincere thanks goes to everyone who contributes, including users who post questions a...
