Customizing the project drop-down list

[tiinar]

I’m currently using Mantis 1.1.8 and struggling with the amount of projects which makes it difficult to find the correct one quickly.

So I’d like to customize the Project drop-down list on the upper right corner so that it could be branched out (sub projects hidden until the parent project is selected). Another option could be to add another drop-down list where the main projects are listed and sub projects would appear on the other drop-down list after one of the main projects is selected.

Any ideas how to implement this or some code examples? I’ve been seaching different mantis forums but maybe I’m blind because I haven’t find any solutions for this.. And is the correct place I should modify user_api.php?

Hi atrol,,

Thanks a lot for your response

Yes, I tried it,, very nice ,,

But could I add an extra drop-down list for sub-sub projects?? i.e to have 3 dropdown lists or more if applicable ?

Thanks

By the way,, I am the one who does not trust his developer,, if you remember :P

I found out, that one of the MantisBT core developers removed this option in MantisBT 1.3 without writing a new comparable functionality
Read why he decided to remove the feature

You have the source code and developers (maybe they will add some code to watch your activities, so this might not be the right moment to start trusting your developers)

I read that, but I still need such feature to be enabled
