Re: Project Management/ Agile Sprint mods

Sorry, I forgot to check this forum for a while. I will prepare the patch for you and put it somewhere for download over the next week or two. We've been using and expanding on it for quite a while. I added some ajax style "web 2.0" stuff to expand parent tasks too. (it shows child tasks e...

Re: Using mantis for project management!?

The problem is of course, I am still in 1.1.8 - however, after looking at the source code for 1.2 I don't think there would be any problem patching my stuff into it. A few of my changes require a slight change in the way of thinking regarding task relationships - ie. the parent/child relationship lo...

Project Management/ Agile Sprint mods

I posted this in General but it occurred to me it should be here too: (there was one feature I forgot in the other post) I've modified mantis to cope with small project management. I did the following: added a new block/waiting relationship set in addition to the default parent/child (which is more ...

Re: Using mantis for project management!?

I've modified mantis to cope with small project management. I did the following: added a new block/waiting relationship set in addition to the default parent/child (which is more for hierarchical/grouping tasks) added auto-unblock of a task once the tasks it is waiting on are resolved added a proper...

Re: Mantis responding too slow while posting new bugs or viewing

Mmm.. I can't make a user on the mantisbt bugtracker, it comes up with this error (after I have entered in new user info on the "create account" page): Access Denied. [ Login ] [ Proceed ] ok, a confirmation e-mail arrived a few minutes later - I confirmed but perhaps users still have to b...

Re: Mantis responding too slow while posting new bugs or viewing

I will report it today! Sorry.. I haven't used mantis here on mantis itself before so it slipped my mind while I was making other changes :-) I added some other bits, such as auto-translating on custom config field enumerated values. (we use two languages here so it was annoying that the custom fiel...

Re: Missing target version in view (Mantis 1.1.8)

It's a shame the versions default to "released" - a lot of people at first don't realise how useful the roadmap is because it is blank. I've made a lot of customisations to the roadmap view to make it even more useful for measuring progress on a team - I've listed them up in the agile/spri...

Re: Mantis responding too slow while posting new bugs or viewing

yes, although because the table is generally quite small and flushed regularly by the cronjob the index doesn't really cause a slow down.
The main killer was the longtext field - it could even be made a regular text field really (64k).

Re: Mantis responding too slow while posting new bugs or viewing

I'm not sure if this is a problem solely with mysql 4? I think the problem is improved (according to reports on the net) if you use the InnoDb backend for MySql (for 4 or 5) - maybe it has better support for resizing/inserting the longtext field type. The version of php is irrelevant too. (I initial...

SOLVED!

SOLVED! Ok, after a whole day of going through the code looking for the slow down, I tracked it to the function email_queue_add and the db_query that exists in that function. (for some reason that query isn't shown when show_queries is on) And... I found the culprit - MySQL 4.1.8 (I don't know about...

Agile/Sprint Development (patch)

Hi all, We've been using mantis for many years now and with the latest (php4 - no php5 on my server yet) version which has the Roadmap and version specifications., I decided to quickly add some features to it to make it perfect for Agile dev. (as a prelude to trying to fix the extreme 20-30 second s...

Re: Mantis responding too slow while posting new bugs or viewing

Does anyone who knows that email code have any ideas as to what has caused it to considerably (as in x100) slow down since 1.0rc3? From the timings it seems to have nothing to do with the database, but of course the database is no longer latin, it is utf8, as is php and mantis, so is there something...

Re: Mantis responding too slow while posting new bugs or viewing

Yes, I optimized all the tables. So do you think it is the php code that is running slowly? Unfortunately I can't upgrade php as we have some other legacy apps on the server and we didn't have this problem before moving to 1.1.8 so there must be something obviously new in the way it is preparing the...

Re: Mantis responding too slow while posting new bugs or viewing

This is the output when I try to add a simple bug note to a bug that has a parent relationship. I presume these figures are in seconds? If so, it thinks it is only taking 0.6 seconds to do the page request? (it took about 30 I think) We have a custom field that is a utf-8 string as you can see in no...

Re: Mantis responding too slow while posting new bugs or viewing

I recently upgraded to mantis 1.1.8 (still using php4) and I am hitting this slow down (which we didn't have before with 1.0rc3) - I have turned on cronjob batching but it isn't the physical sending of the e-mail that is slow, what is slow is the generation of the mails themselves. If I turn off mai...
