0011653: Is possible to create global category with same name of project specific category

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:26:45 -0400

I've migrated form 1.1.1 to 1.2.0
I've on several projects HD category.
I think can be good to make HD GLOBAL CATEGORY.
Without deleting HD categories, I've created a GLOBAL CATEGORY HD.
System give no warning.
May be I'm missing some good reason to allow this, but IMHO this must be blocked.

0011609: API : get issues of a project crash when category is empty

0011556: Upgrade from 1.1.7 to 1.2.0 empties categories auto.assignment

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 09:31:33 -0400

0010840: You can set a 'released version' as the target version

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 07:52:53 -0400

It is possible to use a version that is marked as released as the target version for a fix. How can something that is released be the target for a fix?

We would like it so this doesn't happen as we are getting users who are confused and simple and keep setting target versions as things that have already gone out the door. This causes issues to not get 'caught' we the manager does a search for all things expected to be in a release.

Is this a bug or a feature?

0011627: Solution: Relationship Graph does not work with multi-byte code page

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 04:23:26 -0400

In config_inc.php
$g_default_language = 'chinese_traditional';
$g_relationship_graph_enable = ON;

WinGraphViz_v1.02.24.msi is installed.

After clicking on "Relation Graph" and "Dependency Graph" near bug relationships, web browser shows "Could not convert string to unicode: No mapping for the Unicode character exists in the target multi-byte code page."

Solution: modify 2 places in \core\graphviz_api.php
Around line 314 & 329 in, change
$t_dot_output = $t_graphviz->ToBinaryGraph( $t_dot_source, $t_type );
to
$t_dot_output = $t_graphviz->ToTextGraph( mb_convert_encoding($t_dot_source, "Big5", "UTF-8"), $t_type );

Please replace "Big5" if you are using other multi-byte code page.

0011153: Truncated download

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 13:47:36 -0500

When I download a document it's truncated at 512KB.

$g_file_upload_method = DISK
Browser: Firefox
Files are correctly uploaded and stored in file system.
In file_download.php
function file_send_chunk() has some problems with php 5.1.6
I fixed with:
//file_send_chunk( $t_local_disk_file );
header( 'Content-Length: ' . $v_filesize );
$fp = fopen($t_local_disk_file, 'rb');
fpassthru($fp);
....
//at the end of switch-case statement
//header( 'Content-Length: ' . $v_filesize );

0011011: Can't add UTF8 custom fields to the Manage columns enumeration

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:57:22 -0500

Can't add a custom field to the "View Issues Columns", "Print Issues Columns", etc, when the custom field has russian title.

We restricted the Maximum upload file size as 2MB by setting "post_max_size" and "upload_max_filesize" in php.ini file, but after that it is NOT allowing us to submit the bug, and always displays the error message "Issue 0 Not Found". How to make it work and also how to supply suitable "Upload file " error message.

0011499: Fix for huge slowdown in e-mail queueing with MySql

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:52:02 -0500

Change the field types for metadata and body in the e-mail database table to not be longtext, and switch them to mediumtext (still allows for 16 million bytes of data!)

This is a problem in the schema preparation - the email table is defined as XL and this translates to longtext under mysql - looking around on the net shows that people never use longtext in a regular table (it allows for up to 4 terabytes of data and is inefficient if used like a normal field).

The slowdowns aren't visible if using the InnoDB backend for MySql which is why reports of this slowdown are scattered, but even then I'd suggest changing the longtext to mediumtext for efficiency.

This field change should be added to the database upgrade code too.

0006871: Unable to update custom checbox field when updating issues.

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:50:15 -0500

I have defined a custom field "Reopen Flag". I have specified it as an checkbox. I have attached the scnreen shot of the custom field parameters.

Whenever I try to update the issue it displays the checkbox ticked by default.

The problem is that I am unable to update this field whenever I am trying to update my issue. Eventhough I try to check/uncheck the checkbox and update the field value in the issue, it always shows the field as checked whenever I try to view the issue again. The bug history displayed also does not indicate any change in the value of the field.

I hope I am not missing any configuration parameters or some other required steps.

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:49:43 -0500

I have defined a custom field checkbox "Customer Issue".

It always displays the checkbox checked by default. Whenever the custom field is updated it is not reflected when the issue is revisited. Morever the issue history also does not reflect any updates to the custom field

0006610: Checkbox custom field and required status

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:48:51 -0500

When a check box custom field type is created, and the required on ______ is set, I am forced to check the value. This doesn't seem to fit my understanding of a check box.

0006891: Problem having custom checkbox field required

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:44:53 -0500

When having a checkbox field required for a project and you define it to be checked by default only unchecking it allows to to proceed.

Furthermore the state of the edit field isn't displayed in the report (when viewing it).

0006040: mandatory custom fields

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:40:15 -0500

It would be nice to have a checkbox for custom fields which are mandatory for some projects.

0005926: 'None' filter on checkbox field doesn't return bugs with a blank custom field value (as opposed to null/undefined values)

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:34:53 -0500

I have created a custom field of the type "checkbox" with 3 possible values A, B and C.
When I filter on this field Mantis gives me 5 options to choose from: any, none, A, B, C.
If I choose "none" I'd expect Mantis to show me all issues for which none of the 3 checkboxes are set, instead it never shows me any issues.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

0006609: Custom field display for bug_change_status_page and bug_update_advanced_page

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:30:11 -0500

For each custom field we have these 4 flags

Display When Reporting Issues
Display When Updating Issues
Display When Resolivng Issues
Display When Closing Issues

Here is the behaviour I found.

Suppose we have a custom field named "Test1" and the check box for Resoloving Issues is unchecked.

When I go to resolve the issue, I do not see the "Test1" custom field on the bug_change_status_page.php page as I would expect. Then, later I decide that the custom field was set wrong for that bug and need to change it. I view the issue, click on the Update Issue button and I am presented with the bug_update_advanced_page.php. I change the value of "Test1" and notice that after clicking "Update Issue" the value has not changed???

It appeas that these "Display when _______ issues" flag is controling not only the visibility of issues on the bug_change_status_page.php but also controling whether the value is updated on the bug_update_advanced_page.php.

I would think that either the bug_update_advanced_page.php would simply not display custom fields that cannot be updated, or actually allow me to update the values.

Personally, I would like to see these "Display When _____ Issues" only control the visibility of the custom fields on the bug_change_status_page and have no affect on the bug_update_advanced_page. At the moment, most of the custom fields in the bug database I setup are used only when reporting bugs. I find it annoying to see every custom field, when I go to bug_change_status_page.

0004864: Unable to filter on empty custom field value

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:28:23 -0500

For an enumeration custom field which allows the user to choose a combo box to choose a target release, I wasn't able to filter the issues that have the custom field set to the value of empty string (which is one of the enumeration values). I am only able to filter on "any" or specific values.

0007926: MantisBT donÂ´t check value type entered in Custom Fields

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:28:01 -0500

MantisBT donÂ´t check value type entered in Custom Fields.
(for example I can enter "AA" in Custom Field type Float or Numeric)

Do I need to create a regular expression that will do the check ?

0007599: Custom field of type enumeration not updated when assigning issue

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:25:07 -0500

Custom field of type enumeration.
Possible values defined as "|1.1|1.2|1.2 SP1|None" (quotes not included).
Custom field is displayed when updating the issue in page bug_change_status_page.php.
Choose one of the values (like 1.1) from the combo box and accept changes.
=> Field remains empty
Change of custom field value is only possible in page bug_update_advanced_page.php.

0008383: Add Custom Drop-down field

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:23:09 -0500

I'd like to be able to add a custom field that is in the form of a drop-down. Basically what I need is a Priority, which exists and I intend Product Management to use, and then I need a Dev Priority, that Dev will use to prioritize their work.
Does this functionality exist?

0008323: Spaces in custom fields

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:22:03 -0500

If you have a custom field with spaces included and you add it as a column to the "View Issues" page the column is not sortable. When you click on the column nothing happens.

The reason for the problem is that the URL sent to sort by that column includes the space thus producing the wrong information. If one adds "urlencode" around the sorting field, the column becomes sortable again. This problem may also occur if you use the # sign. For example, we added a custom field called "Marketing #" but was unable to sort by it.

I fixed the problem

0008516: Checkbox-type custom fields displayed empty or as quotes in view issue

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:21:24 -0500
