I'm looking at Pentaho BI Platform to extract information from Mantis, but I don't find any tutorial to setup a full working environment (without preloaded data). Do you know any tutorial? Maybe another way to develop reports from Mantis data? Thanks! ...
I do mostly Windows development. We use Mantis and Subversion for our development but they aren't integrated together, in fact they are on different servers. I did a little googling about integrating the two together and came across this post. It looked interesting. I was wondering if anyone is doing this or has done this and what yo...
On a particular project we're working with a total of 10 team members. After about a year working on the project (and using Mantis as a bug-/feature-tracker eversince), the bugtracker gets more and more difficult to use, as no standard has been setup that explains how to create new tasks, how to comment tasks etc. This leads to multipl...
We're currently using Mantis as our bugtracker, and we're pretty much sick and tired with it. The developers want more SVN integration, the customers want an easier system to work with. As such, we're looking for a new bugtracker and at the moment we're looking at redmine. However, in its default setup it doesn't match our desired workf...
As the title says, I'm starting one project right now, and trying to layout the infrastructure for the project (SVN, Email, Bug tracking, Online Forums, etc...) So, Bugzilla or Mantis? ...
We have a tech support website/database at work that we use to record our interactions with customers. Our tech support people are not capable of creating their own accounts. We also use Mantis on the same server as a way to keep track of bugs. Inside the tech support site we would like to have a link to Mantis so that our tech support...
Hi all. I'm having troubles adding an attachment to the mantis using mantis connect. I can attach a file to the issue, but when i download for instance an image, it always gives me an error when I try to open the image. I've many ways of reading the file to an byte array always with no success. Has anyone used the mantisconnect to subm...
How do I enable and use the Roadmap feature in the Mantis bugtracker? I am answering this myself and I hope it will be useful to other Mantis users. Here is a discussion on the same topic. Update: As an example, here is the Mantis Roadmap for Mantis itself. ...
We've been using Mantis for some time now at my shop and it has performed well. The powers that be have decided we'll be using a commercial tool called SpiraTeam from this point forward. Has anyone had experience with this tool? I noticed that it has import ability from Jira and a few other systems but didn't see one for Mantis. I'm ...
I've got a program that I've been working on at home for a while, and I decided finally to throw it up on SourceForge. SourceForge offers Tracker, MantisBT, or Trac for bug tracking. My app already has a "Sorry, an error occurred" dialog, but I'd like to add a "Complain about it" button that will submit a bug to my bug tracker. Has an...
We're using the Mantis bugtracker (version 1.1.8), which is based on PHP. To ease the workflow of adding bugs we'd like to add an option to paste screenshots from the clipboard directly into the 'new bug form'. Screenshots make bugreports much more valuable for developers, so I'd like to make adding them as easy as possible. Preferably ...
Hi, Is there a way to "Undelete" an issue which was deleted? The developer thought it was a duplicate issue, but instead of closing it as "Duplicate" it was deleted. But the issues contains some "notes" which are useful. Thanks. ...
Hello, My boss asked me to export the corp's Mantis bugs database to Excel, but he can't give me access to the SQL Server, and the process has to be automated. The ONLY thing I can use is Excel (no ODBC, no manual export). So I managed to do this : Dim webClient As Object Dim i As Long, vFF As Long, oResp() As Byte Dim vLocalFile As...
Mantis roadmap is great, although it doesn't show the due dates for each version due date. I'd like to know whether does it send e-mail alerts based on the due dates. Is there any way of setting this up or something similar without messing with the code? Thanks! ...
I apologize if this is not the correct site for this question. There can be arguments to put it on superuser, serverfault, or stackoverflow... I posted it here because source code control is so programming-oriented and it's a code-tweak. I am able to upload images to mantis issues. I'd like to tweak the mantis code or config to auto-di...
Hi all! So we have this project which uses Mantis as bug tracker tool and in the company the corporate bug tracking tool is Bugzilla. This means we will have to use Bugzilla soon. I searched for tools that can be used to migrate from Mantis to Bugzilla and I only found this m2bz tool which seems to work for Mantis 0.17.5 and Bugzilla 2...
I am using Mantis (PHP and MysQL) as a bug tracking tool and I would like to extend it in order to document requirements and technical specifications. Ideally, I should be able to link a defect with a requirement. Is there a way to integrate a Wiki tool (preferably PHP and MySQL based) into Mantis? EDITED: Instructions how to integra...
Is it possible to have a version number for each defect/issue raised in Mantis and track its value during the lifetime of the defect? e.g v0.1 - Issue reported v0.2 - Issue assigned v0.5 - Issue resolved v0.6 - Issue closed I have never used custom fields in Mantis - can they be employed for such a purpose? UPDATE: In the meantime,...
Is there anyway to get a list of cases that are assigned to me, in Mantis? ...
I have been following the post below trying to hook my SubVersion installation to my Mantis bug tracker. How To Integrate Subversion and Mantis Everything works fine until the last line where it calls the Mantis checkin.php script and feeds it the message string that has been created in the script. exec(CHECKIN . " <<< \"$message\"");...
