How to switch on & off Columns with "Manage Coulmns"

Post by Realtime »

Hi!


System
I use a dedicated, managed SX2 Server from Strato.

Mantis
I use Mantis in V 1.2.0RC2.

Request
I want to switch on and off in each project the columns shown in view.php.

Static solution
The static solution is to delete in config_inc.php the lines of $g_bug_report_page_fields found in config_defaults_inc.php.

Problem:
The selected columns are shown identical in each project.
In embedded projects I don't need a PC-configuration but a version oft the hardware.

Dynamic solution
I go to manage_config_columns_page.php an try to disable (for the test) all of the colums except id column.

I control the settings with adm_config_report.php. There I can read:
All Users / All Projects / view_issues_page_columns / complex / array (0 => 'id',)

I expect that only the id was shown in view.php, but all of the columns where shown.


Is this a bug in RC2 or does I made a mistake?


TIA, and sorry for my bad english.


Marc

These settings are not for view.php , they are for view_all_bug_page.php

This answer I had need in my first posting ... :-(

However, is it possible to switch on & off the columns shown in the view.php and in bug_report_page.php for each project?

The problem:

If you only want a bugtracker for similar projects (e.g. mantis, MediaPortal) you could ask the reporter for the same things. If you have different projects like IPC based hardware, embedded hardware, embedded software, PC based software you have a wide range of datafields and the reporter don't know what he filled in.

Result: The "X" in the right upper corner :-(

Does you have any idea?

TIA!

I have actually made use of new web part pages in a document library for exceptionally wide lists. This turns off the quick launch bar and can allow you to get a few more columns before having to scroll left and right or loosing formatting.

Another option is to make use of the two stages of grouping when possible. If you have a list that has some common information (for example, a contact list where you have multiple contacts at a single company or within a single state), you can get rid of the redundant data and use it in grouping.

When it comes to very large lists that have a lot of columns, there really isn't much else out there than to use SharePoint Designer and change the layout from a table to more of a repeating list style view.
