Hide fields and fields order

Post by emphyrio »

Hello,

I can't find the answers in the documentation...
Is there a way to:

1) Hide standard fields (not custom)? For example, in a specific project, I don't need the Profile fields (Platform, OS, OS version).
2) Reorder fields? For example, I would like one of my custom fields to be the first (above Category) in the report form.

Thank you,
Emphyrio

Goto page Manage > Manage Configuration > Configuration Report
Enter the following values, after that click "Create Configuration Option"

Not possible by changing configuration options. You would have to change source of Mantis or write a plugin that uses JavaScript to rearrange the page.

That reminds me that there is a FireFox add-on called stylish for user-side re-skinnnng of websites.
For internal sites that might be easier to use than writing a plugin.
If the stylish code is open then it would really be cool if someone were to create a MantisBT plugin with it (or just create a stylish theme and post it o their site).
HTH


EDIT: Stylish is available for Chrome, Baidu, Firefox, and Opera
This could be an alternative to a plugin or custom code for this very popular request.

Hello Atrol,

Thank you, it worked! :D
But I now have two more questions :

- Where can I find the "Configuration option" I just created? I can't see it anywhere...
- Where can I find the correct way to name other fields/settings like "enable_profiles"?

Thank you.

Hi Atrol,

Your PNG file is broken. Can you please give the configuration to hide standard fields in a specific project ?

Thanks in advance.
