This can already be done by overriding the custom function that determines the format for the changlog entries. To do that create custom_functions_inc.php in the mantis main directory and implement the following:

--------------------
# Prints one entry in the changelog.
function custom_function_override_changelog_print_issue( $p_issue_id ) {
    $t_bug = bug_get( $p_issue_id );
    echo '- ', string_process_bug_link( '#' . $p_issue_id ), ': <b>[', $t_bug->category, ']</b> ', string_display( $t_bug->summary ), ' (', user_get_name( $t_bug->handler_id ), ')<br />';
}

Note that you get the issue id as a parameter, hence, you can retrieve any related information and echo it in the required format.

Let me know if this covers what you need.

Thank you, I will test it as soon as possible. Maybe you could make it configurable via a dropdown like the filters... That way you can choose between different views.

The drop down will specify which format to use, however, you will still need to override these to output the entries based on the selected format.

I tried it, but the following error appeared:

function custom_function_override_changelog_print_issue( $p_issue_id ) { $t_bug = bug_get( $p_issue_id ); echo '- ', string_process_bug_link( '#' . $p_issue_id ), ': [', $t_bug->category, '] ', string_display( $t_bug->summary ), ' (', user_get_name( $t_bug->handler_id ), ')'; }

Thr custom_functions_inc file is a php file. It needs a "<?php" at the beginning and "?>" at the end.

Sorry, some kind of sleeping today :-) Ok, that works fine. Do you think it´s possible to dropdown it like the filters?

Since this is on the topic of improving the Changelog, I think this is somewhat related to http://bugs.mantisbt.org/bug_view_page.php?bug_id=0004218

A csv export of the change log would be great.

Fields being ID, Catagory, Description, User

• 0004764: [other] Url detection issue (grangeway)

I'm marking this as resolved/no change required because the required function is present in the code.

For help about how to customize the function, please refer to:
