How to customize e-mail notifications?

Post by Woefdram »

My users sometimes get intimidated by the length of e-mail notifications sent by Mantis. I would want to send only the latest update to a bug, not a complete history. How do I do that? I use 1.0.0a3.

Greetings,

At the moment this is not supported by Mantis out-of-the-box, but I can tell you that eventually it will happen.

There is already issues in the bugtracker regarding this topic. See #4278 and #895.

where is the php file that builds the emails?
i just need to do a (quick?) tweak to add in the platform data.

Also there is no discussion in the manual or this forum of what "Email Notes Limit" does (the "$s_email_bugnote_limit" function). A word search on either of these in the manual or forums does not lead to any specifics. I'm assumin git puts a limit (default '0' = no limit?) on the number of notes to add to the email, latest ones first. is that correct?

The email is formatted in core/email_api.php, function email_format_bug_message(). I think that there is a thread in this forum somewhere about adding this kind of information.

email_bugnote_limit is broken in the current release. I think that it has been bugged as well.

Is the notification customization possible now?

I have exactly the same concern about the notifications. Since the thread is over a year old, I wonder if the problem has been solved since.
