Force Project selection when entering Report

[ribaaa]

Hi,

I a fairly new to the Mantis but I hope that someone will be able to help me with my issue.
I would like that every time when new Report is issued it is mandatory to select project.
According to documentation it is not able to have project field in Report fields, but it is possible to force some other dialog (perhaps something similar to initial project selection for user)?

In my case I have users that are working on more projects at the same time, and with this I would like to force them to select appropriate Project when issuing report.

Thanks a lot

There is no configuration option for it.
You could tell your users to set "All Projects" as default project in their account settings.
After that, they will be asked for the project when entering issues.

Thanks for this, it solved my problem too!

I made my users protected so they could not change their settings.
Then I figured, I wanted to set "Project" to "All Projects".
Is there another way to set this by default without having them access My Account > Preferences to set Default Project = 'All Projects'?
Please help.

Thanks in advance!

You could change the setting in database using mysql command prompt or phpMyAdmin.
I can't try at the moment, should be something like:

Code: Select all

update mantis_user_pref_table set default_project = 0;

Thanks atrol, it is working now.

Additional favor please, still on My Account > Preferences...

Our current set-up for new and existing accounts has Time Zone defaulted to "Asia/Manila" and Language as "English".
But some users still has the access to this page and can change this value on their end.

I would like to have ALL our users in uniform time and language.
That is, Time Zone value is only "Asia/Manila" and Language is "English" with no other options available for them to select..
Please advise on how should I setup these fields.

Thanks in advance!

Any idea on this please? Your inputs is highly appreciated.

Code: Select all

update mantis_user_pref_table set language = 'english';
update mantis_user_pref_table set timezone = 'Asia/Manila';

Thanks again atrol!

However, what I really wanted is not just to set the default value for "language" and "timezone" but to limit its option only to the said values.
So in "language" field, 'english' is the default and is the only available value. The same case for language.
I was able to figure out "language" already by adjusting its equivalent function in config_inc.php to:
$g_languages_choices_arr = { English,};

But I am still left with timezone and if it's possible to implement the same.
Please help.

There is no configuration option for the timezones.
We list just what PHP is delivering us http://php.net/manual/en/datetimezone.l ... ifiers.php

You would have to change function print_timezone_option_list in file core/print_api.php if you don't like this behavior.

[MBT_novaa]

Understood. Well of course I like Mantis and all its functions... I just wanted to tailor it to our users.
Unfortunately, I'm not a programmer so I'm good and settled for timezone.

This is resolved, thanks atrol!
