Cannot change status label in latest version.

[jbesclapez]

Hi there,

I am new to Mantis and i am using the latest version.
I would like to change the name of the status to
$g_status_enum_string = '10:new,20:onhold,30:Wip,40:Test,50:Fixed,80:Acknowledged,90:closed';

It is only a rename, so, if i am not mistaken the only thing to do is to add this line into config_inc.php
But is not working.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Follow the instructions under

3. Define the required translation strings for the new status, for each language used in the installation.

https://mantisbt.org/docs/master/en-US/ ... ize.status
You have to change $s_status_enum_string in config/custom_strings_inc.php

Thank you Atrol,

I did read this before but I am not trying to define a new status, but instead trying to simply change the name of the current ones. That means I do not need a constant and can use the "old constant" 10-20-30-40-50-80-90. Note here I did not insert the 60 like in the wiki.
So I direcly go to step 2 and add this line to my config_inc.php
$g_status_enum_string = '10:new,20:onhold,30:Wip,40:Test,50:Fixed,80:Acknowledged,90:closed';
For the point 3, I do not need any translation, then the workflow is the same... so i do not need to update that part either.

However, after changing the status names, I still do not get the result expected.
What am I doing wrong then?

Have a good day

Try what I wrote before

In your case set
$s_status_enum_string = '10:new,20:onhold,30:Wip,40:Test,50:Fixed,80:Acknowledged,90:closed';
in config/custom_strings_inc.php

Ok, i understand, you treat this as a translation. Make sense.

Could I humbly recommended that you update the wiki this way :\
-7.5.1 Create a new status
(with all current info)
-7.5.2 Rename an existing status
If you want to simply rename an existing statuts, in subfolder config, locate and edit file custom_constants_inc.php (if not there, simply create it) and add those lines :

Code: Select all

<?php
$s_status_enum_string = '10:RenamedStatus1,20:RenamedStatus2,30:RenamedStatus3,40:RenamedStatus4,50:RenamedStatus5,80:RenamedStatus6,90:RenamedStatus7';

Have a good week end and once again, thanks for your precious help
