Where is the EXPORT function? REALLY!

[grrrr]

Hi,

I'm looking for the EXPORT function inside of Mantis.

Yes. I know there is a plugin.

Yes. I have activated that plugin.

Yes. I have found the Import functionality.

I am looking for EXPORT.

Where in the system does EXPORT show up?
Ie. what page in the system?

I have looked all over for the answer to this simple question,
including this forum.

This shouldn't be this hard.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Ger

Links to various exports are available at "View Issues" page

Is there a way to export an issue ??? (and not the view issues page)
I want to export some issues to see the xml structure of the exported files...

You have to install the "Import/Export issues 1.0" plugin which is deliveres as part of standard MantisBT
After installation, there is a link "XML-Export" at "View Issues" page

Yes yes I did what you mention above.
But my question is about a single bug.
I want to export a bug (with its bugnotes, tags, users monitoring....).

If I click on XML-Export, I get an xml file showing the columns defined in view_issues_columns.
But there is no bugnotes... Is it possible to export bugnotes ?

Plus, can you tell me the date format ?
I've got :
<date_submitted>1294852164</date_submitted>
<last_updated>1294852701</last_updated>
Are they just random values to keep the xml structure ?

There are known issues around this
http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=12013
They are fixed but not in version 1.2.x
If you are just testing you could try a 1.3 developer version, but do not use this version for production environment.

Oh thanks ! That's great ! I hope version 1.3.x is not too far from now...
I will try to import in csv instead and see export functions later.
If see a bug that I can correct with my poor coding knowledge I will try to correct it to accelerate 1.3 release
