Summary	0010156: Categories "[any] / General".
Description	For some of our users, after a upgrade from a 1.1.1, the categorie select in the filter view doesn't provide the projects categories but only : "[any]" and "General" .. Mantis loads the categories from the project 0 in the database (according to mysql log) : SELECT DISTINCT name FROM mantis_category_table WHERE project_id IN ( 0 ) ORDER BY name Workaround: define a default project in the user preferences.
Tags	No tags attached.

BAMaustin 2009-04-03 12:03 reporter ~0021390	This appears to be a list initialization problem. Once the user visits the Report Issue page, the View Issues category list will remain fully populated until the user does a Logout.

flintg 2010-07-28 17:35 reporter ~0026156	I was able to reproduce the problem (and verify the workaround) with a "reporter" level user, but "developer" level users appear to be immune to the issue. MantisBT: 1.2.1 PHP: 5.3.3 SQL: MySQL 5.1.48 Server: Apache 2.2.15 OS: Server 2008 Standard SP2 x64

MantisBT: master 011050bd 2010-12-23 12:32 daryn Details Diff	Fix Bug 0010156: Categories "[any] / General". Move data retrieval into new category api function category_get_filter_list. Use existing api functions to properly populate the list based on configured project/category inheritance. The print api function now handles only display functionality. It sorts and prints the select list. The print function will eventually be removed in favor of a view. This separation prepares for that.	Affected Issues 0010156
