I've readed documentation, nowhere I found customization for ONLY 1 project.

I've done each step to customize status_enum_string.
I've managed workflow.
Everythink is fine.

Now i'd like that to customize user interface in html_api.php
I need to customize "function html_status_legend()" for displaying 'dynamic' legend status bar.

If a status is used in the workflow from selected projects than legend bar display this status.
For all projects and projects that not implements new status, no displaying complete status bar.

Thanks for help

This link to the guide only states that the Status can be customized but doesn't say much else. Keep in mind I will not only be adding new Statuses but removing several of the existing ones to suit our needs. Most of the customizations I've done in our new Mantis 1.2.9 installation have been done on the following 3 files only:

\manitsbt\config_defaults_inc.php
\mantis\lang\strings_english.txt
\mantis\core\constant_inc.php

When adding/removing Statuses are there any other files affected? Anything else I should be aware of when doing this?

\manitsbt\config_defaults_inc.php

Never change this file, use config_inc.php for such kind of customizations

\mantis\lang\strings_english.txt

Never change this file, use custom_strings_inc.php for such kind of customizations

\mantis\core\constant_inc.php

Never change this file, use custom_constants_inc.php for such kind of customizations

Not in documentation, but my recommendation:
Use page "Manage" > "Manage Configuration" > "Workflow Transitions" instead of setting $g_status_enum_workflow.

When adding/removing Statuses are there any other files affected? Anything else I should be aware of when doing this?

Removing statuses is possible.
You have to adjust the following options in config_inc.php (read config_defaults_inc.php for explaination)

Code: Select all

$g_hide_status_default    = CLOSED;
$g_bug_submit_status = NEW_;
$g_bug_assigned_status = ASSIGNED;
$g_bug_reopen_status = FEEDBACK;
$g_bug_feedback_status = FEEDBACK;
$g_bug_readonly_status_threshold = RESOLVED;
$g_bug_resolved_status_threshold = RESOLVED;
$g_bug_closed_status_threshold = CLOSED;

If an exapmle would be of any help:
I renamed 3 of the existing states and created an additional one. That changed ticket states
from '10:new,20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confirmed,50:assigned,80:resolved,90:closed'
to '10:new,20:reopened,30:confirmed,40:deferred,50:assigned, 60:to be tested,80:resolved,90:closed'

changes made in config_inc.php:

Code: Select all

Hello,

I am a new member and I really need your help.

I am using Mantis two weeks ago and I have many things to ask:

1. I defined two projects, and for each one I defined the statuses and they are completely different, but when I defined the statuses of teh second project I missed the statuses of the first project why? and what about the number in (20:new for example ) means?? because I used to put this number as I want but I saw that when I used 11 for example teh status is not showing on and if I change the number it will be OK why?
And shall I have to write if statement to be able to show the two project statuses??

2. How can link issue attribute to another one? I mean the following:

If the user shows "issue new) then new attributes have to be shown and the user has to fill and if he moved to "issue confirmd for example" some more attributes have to be shown to be filled by the user so how to do that??

3. How can I change the taps (view issues, report issues .....) specifically for each project ???????

I really need your help ....

Thank you in advance ...

Rocky

Hello again,

From where you are using the status color codes?

Hello,

Could anyone please answer my questions??

I really need that and I am not able to do it alone ...

The status color codes are set to their default in config_defaults_inc:

$g_status_colors = array( 'new' => '#fcbdbd', // red (scarlet red #ef2929)
'feedback' => '#e3b7eb', // purple (plum #75507b)
'acknowledged' => '#ffcd85', // orange (orango #f57900)
'confirmed' => '#fff494', // yellow (butter #fce94f)
'assigned' => '#c2dfff', // blue (sky blue #729fcf)
'resolved' => '#d2f5b0', // green (chameleon #8ae234)
'closed' => '#c9ccc4'); // grey (aluminum #babdb6)

Use your config_inc file to change the status colors to your preference.
