Summary | 0019510: Issue with list of Main Projects and Sub Projects | ||||
Description | We have a Mantis setup working with following settings/configurations running on Windows
Scenario-1: When a administrator logs in, the drop down list of Projects and Subprojects works perfectly.I.e. Admin can see only a list of Main Projects listed in the first dropdown and when a particular project is selected and against the same, relevant subprojects are shown on the second drop down.
Scenario-2: Now other than Administrator, all other users login
Users complaint is that, they are unnecessarily get to see a exhaustive list of projects and sub projects and at times this leads to confusions as to make a selection. | ||||

You attached two screen shots that show contents that are not available in standard MantisBT. Or is this just a mockup and you use configuration option $g_show_extended_project_browser = ON; ? |

Dear Atrol, I just re-created an image instance for better understandability, if you need I can share the actual image. I have given it a try to show the actual problem and tried simulating the same through listing Main and sub projects in a EXCEL sheet. Its a mirror copy from that excel. we have not installed any plugin(s). And enabled a setting in CONFIG file to include second level of project listing as is available. Sorry, forgot to inform you. We are currently using MantisBT 1.2.7 version. |

Looking at your "admin" screenshot, I'm wondering if you're using the "extended project browser" ($g_show_extended_project_browser = ON). If that's the case, please be aware that this functionality has been removed from the next version of Mantis for several reasons (security, scalability and reducing use of JavaScript). I strongly suggest you disable this setting. |
|
As a first step I recommend to update to latest stable version (1.2.19 at the moment) which contains also some changes related to the extended project browser, e.g. 0017890 and Sorry, I don't have time to try to reproduce your issue. |

Dear Dregad and Atrol, Thanks for the info, as quick look I downloaded and installed the latest stable version and checked. This seems to be fixed and working perfectly. My last question, is update possible directly from 1.2.7 to 1.2.19? Or I have to have intermediate updates first...to have the latest stable version to make it up and running? Thanks in advance... |

You can go straight to the latest version. |
