thraxisp 2008-12-07 22:02 reporter ~0020289	I did similar work on a contract a few years ago. I'll port the code in. Some questions / issues: 1) Could databases be shared between the instances in the farm? 2) Should login be refused if the user logging in doesn't have access to any of the project? Some implementation: 1) all of the local configuration (config_inc.php, custom_functions_inc.php, custom_strings_inc.php, custom_constant_inc.php) will be stored in subdirectory (config/<farm name>). To simplify configuration, the information in the main directory will be read, then the configuration for the farm tracker will be read in.

deboutv 2008-12-08 02:55 reporter ~0020292	Hi, 1) Yes, you just need to change the table prefix, by example mantisbug_table, another__bug_table, foobug_table... ($g_db_tableprefix = 'mantis';) Using 2 '_' characters in the prefix allows PHPMyAdmin to make an expandable tree (instead of a list mixing tables of all bugtrackers). 2) I don't see the relation between login and having access to the project... Implementation, I don't think that it is required for Mantis team to do something about this subject in the PHP code. You just need to explain how user can make a farm themselves. How I did that? Take a look in the forum ;)

vboctor 2008-12-08 03:07 manager ~0020293	Here is a copy of the comments I previously posted to 0009854: Currently, only the configuration file is controlled via the environmental variable. I think we need a solution where we can point to a folder that contains all customizations aspects like: config file. custom strings. custom functions. custom constants. attachments folder root or use database. plugins

grangeway 2014-10-04 10:15 reporter ~0041344	vboctor, You did not provide any feedback; I am therefore resolving this issue as "no change required". Feel free to reopen the issue at a later time and provide the requested information.
