This package has been created to send email reminders to the manager (to remember them to assign unassigned bugs) and to the developper (to resolve their assigned bugs). This page describes how to install and configure the reminder package.

• Download the reminder package from the issue #5887 (actual package is reminder_new.tar.gz)
• Unzip the package into the Mantis installation directory (ex.: tar zxvf reminder_new.tar.gz)
• Copy the reminder_config_inc.php.sample to reminder_config_inc.php

$g_reminder_email_debug = OFF;
$g_reminder_email_debug_address = "name@domain.com";

Theses variables are used to debug the reminder package if you have some issues with it. To turn on the debug feature, you must set to ON the $g_reminder_email_debug variable and specify an email address (in the $g_reminder_email_debug_address) where all email will be sent.

$g_first_remind = 15;
$g_second_remind = 30;

$g_first_assign_remind = 7;
$g_second_assign_remind = 14;

$g_reminder_enable = ON;
$g_excepted_date[] = array( 
			    array( 'wday' => 0 ),
                            array( 'wday' => 6 ),
			    array( 'mday' => 1, 'mon' => 1 ),
			    array( 'mday' => 1, 'mon' => 5 ),
			    array( 'mday' => 8, 'mon' => 5 ),
			    array( 'mday' => 14, 'mon' => 7 ),
			    array( 'mday' => 15, 'mon' => 8 ),
			    array( 'mday' => 1, 'mon' => 11 ),
			    array( 'mday' => 11, 'mon' => 11 ), 
			    array( 'mday' => 25, 'mon' => 12 ),
			    array( 'mday' => 28, 'mon' => 3, 'year' => 2005 ) );
$g_excepted_user[] = array(
			    'administrator' => array( 'year' => 2005 ) );
$g_excepted_bug = array();

To send the reminder you need to browse the reminder.php page in your browser (no HTML output will be generated) or execute the PHP client with the command: php /installation/directory/reminder.php.

You can create a scheduled task to do this job automaticaly each days.
