Custom Status Color not working

Good morning
I have added some custom status fields to my installation, and they work fine except the colors are being ignored. I followed the procedure in the documentation,but all are just showing up as black. I have tried clearing the browser cache, etc but they are still black.
In config.inc I have put:
Code: Select all
$g_status_enum_string = '10:new,20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confirmed,50:assigned,60:testing,70:,ready,80:resolved,90:closed';
# Status color additions
$g_status_colors['testing'] = '#007399';
$g_status_colors['ready'] = '#CCFFEE';
$g_status_colors['resolved'] = '#00FF00';
Note: I tried to change an existing status (resolved) and that doesn't change either - it remains the standard pale green.
I created a custom_constants_inc.php with the following:
Code: Select all
define( 'TESTING', 60 );
define( 'READY', 70 );
Anyone have any suggestions why the colors are not working
Thanks
Martin

No time to have a deeper look, but at least
is wrong. Remove the comma.

Many thanks - I'd checked that lots of times and still missed it.
Sadly however, correcting the error hasn't fixed the color problem.

Which MantisBT version do you use?

Puzzlingly I have tried changing the status colors in config_defaults_inc.php and that doesn't change them either, even after clearing the browser cache.

Never ever change config_defaults_inc.php, all configuration is done in config/config_inc.php.
Are you sure you are changing the right file?
Maybe there a multiple folders with Mantis on your system.

I only changed it as an experiment.

The rest of the customisation in the file works, such as the $g_status_enum_string string, etc So it is hard to see why the colors wouldn't also work. And I certainly can't find any other folders.

Morning
Well despite clearing the browser cache, and hard refresh the mantis page, the colors did not work. So this morning I tried logging in with a different browser, and they do work. So I remain puzzled, but at least I now know it is a browser issue of some sort.
Thanks for your input.
BTW I think it is a great product
Thanks

Might be caused by some browser addon.
Not sure you tried clearing again the browser cache after you fixed the configuration issue.
