tassomanah good into /admin there is trouble shoooting08:23
tassomanextended DES and Blowfish crypt are mandatory?08:30
eNTihi. i've somewhat ignored that file path configuration for uploaded files when i installed mantis. what do i need to change, to point it to a directory. what do i need to put into config_inc.php?09:02
tassomandoes mantis SOAP? or XMLRPC?10:45
tassomani would integrate drupal users into my mantis fresh installation10:45
tassomanhow to remove header and footer form page layout?10:58
tassomanis it possible to manage users by soap?14:46
OscarTgrouchi am having a hard time finding this.  were do is modify my available resolutions?16:54
nuclear_eclipsehttp://docs.mantisbt.org/master/en/administration_guide/x2189.html16:55
nuclear_eclipsethat specifically covers the status settings, but it works the same way for the other enum fields, like resolutionn16:56
OscarTgrouchjust to verify. i need to edit add it in the .php file and there is no way to add it in the user interface?16:56
nuclear_eclipseyou can manipulate the configurations via Manage Configuration Report by inputting it manually, but it's basically the same16:58
OscarTgrouchok thanks16:59
nuclear_eclipseyou're welcome16:59
bleftsonhi all - is anyone here a developer/contributor on mantis?17:02
nuclear_eclipsea few of us are, yes :)17:02
bleftsonhaha, everyone probably..17:03
bleftsonjust a quick question17:03
mantisbotNew bug: Bug 10280 - aniraj - open - new17:03
mantisbotNew bug: Option to show all users in All Projects filter - http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=1028017:03
bleftsoni posted a patch to a bug - is there anything else i need to do to mark it fixed?17:03
bleftsoni read something somewhere about asking for developer access rights?17:03
bleftsoni'm a reporter at the moment17:03
nuclear_eclipseat the moment, we prefer to just accept contributions in the form of Git patches/branches, and we'll include them in the main tree if we approve/have time17:04
nuclear_eclipseonce/if we merge it into the main tree, then we'll mark the issue as resolved17:05
bleftsonok, sounds good17:05
bleftsonthe best way is to attach the patch to the bug?17:05
nuclear_eclipsebleftson: assuming that you submit patches or branches correctly, you should receive the credit in the main repository, so it's really not much different than having direct developer access, except that of course you are reliant upon us to approve it17:06
bleftsonyep, sounds good17:07
bleftsonthanks17:07
nuclear_eclipsehowever, if you are consistently fixing many bugs and meeting the coding guidelines, etc, we may consider adding you to the official developer list17:07
nuclear_eclipsebleftson: out of curiousity, what bug did you attach a patch to?17:08
bleftsonhttp://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=1023117:10
nuclear_eclipsebleftson: that fix is "incorrect"; it removes a feature17:11
bleftsonthat's what i thought, but i went through everything i could possibly think of and i couldn't find anything that it caused to behave incorrectly17:12
nuclear_eclipsethe point of that code is: if you report/update a bug and set a handler while the status is set to 'new', then MantisBT will automatically change the status to 'assigned' (or whatever the configured status should be)17:13
nuclear_eclipsehowever, it should probably have some sort of logic added that checks to see if the status has been modified, in which case it shoudln't make that auto-assignment17:14
bleftsonright - i believe that still happens though when you remove that code - i think it's handled elsewhere?17:14
nuclear_eclipseno, it doesn't get handled anywhere else17:14
bleftsonmaybe my confusion comes from terminology17:14
bleftsonhandler = user?17:14
nuclear_eclipsehandler = user assigned to the issue17:16
bleftsonah i see, i see17:18
bleftsonyou're totally right17:19
bleftsoni'll try it again17:19
bleftsonthanks for the feedback17:19
nuclear_eclipseyou're welcome17:19
nuclear_eclipseyou can also post to the mantisbt-dev mailing list if you feel your patch/issue is getting left behind without a good reason17:20
bleftsonhow much mail goes through that list per day, would you say?17:21
bleftsoni thought about joining but i don't want to get inundated17:22
nuclear_eclipseit's an average of less than 1/day, maybe more during a flurry of activity, but you can see the list history at http://gmane.org/info.php?group=gmane.comp.bug-tracking.mantis.devel17:23
bleftsonoh nice, that's not bad at all17:23
bleftsoncool, thanks17:23

milliamsafternoon all20:36
dhx_mhi20:36
dhx_mI noticed that you've started work on templating with smarty :)20:36
milliams_I'm thinking I'll do it with plugin functions (which in turn access a mini-template file)20:36
milliams_(grr, stupid IRC connection)20:36
nuclear_eclipsemilliams: what do you mean by that?20:36
dhx_mwell yeah, templates should be 'shared' as much as possible20:36
dhx_mthat is one of the main reasons anyone would want to use templates20:36
dhx_m... if that is what is meant by 'mini-template'20:36
dhx_mI'm not entirely convinced of the benefit of moving all the HTML out of the current .php files20:36
dhx_mjust to stick it in templates20:36
dhx_mthat isn't really adding any new benefit, except it is possibly easier to edit the templates/HTML20:36
Simpson_2hi all20:36
Simpson_2anybody around who knows things about the wiki integration code ??20:36
nuclear_eclipseSimpson_2: me20:36
nuclear_eclipsebut I'll be gone shortly; either stay on for a while, or send your questions/inquiries to the developer list, and I'll help when I get back20:36
Simpson_2nuclear_eclipse, stil here ??20:36
HeadyHi Anyone know if it is possible to remove the right from the manager to add new users with the manager role?20:36
darynHeady: look at $g_manage_user_threshold in config_defaults_inc.php  I believe it defaults to Administrator though.20:36
HeadyI dont mean the creation of an account but the possibility to add an existing user to a project with manager role20:36
Headyso i have setup a manager for project xyz and dont want that this manager can add other managers to that software20:36
Headydidnt find any config option so far20:36
daryni believe that is $g_project_user_threshold20:36
darynwell...that would prevent them from adding ANY users to any project20:36
Headyjep thats right but manager should still be able toa dd viewer to developer20:36
Heady;)20:36
Headyi guess its not possible out of the box20:36
darynso, if they need to be able to add users to a project but not other managers, then no that doesn't exist20:36
nuclear_eclipseSimpson_2: back now20:36
nuclear_eclipseHeady: it sounds to me that if you can't trust your project managers to not create other managers, you have a trust problem rather than a software problem ;)20:36
Headyits not about trust;)20:36
nuclear_eclipsewell, if you trust your managers, then just tell them not to make new users with manager permissions... :P20:36
nuclear_eclipseyou could always submit a feature request to our tracker20:36
* daryn_away is away: Gone away for now20:36
Simpson_2nuclear_eclipse, I have a minimal remark on the media wiki plugin20:36
Simpson_2nuclear_eclipse, I would replace the spaces in project names with underscores20:36
Simpson_2nuclear_eclipse, that would make it look a whole lot better in the wiki20:36
nuclear_eclipseagreed, but at this point, it's a matter of maintaining legacy compatibility20:36
nuclear_eclipseyou could always create your own integration plugin that handled things exactly how you want to20:36
Simpson_2are there options to do backlinking as well ??20:36
nuclear_eclipsewhat do you mean?20:36
nuclear_eclipseyou mean links from Mediawiki back to MantisBT?20:36
Simpson_2yup20:36
nuclear_eclipsenot currently20:36
Simpson_2okay, and I remember seeing automatic wiki linking in bugnotes somewhere20:36
Simpson_2do you know about that ?? ( I can't find it anymore )20:36
nuclear_eclipseI had originally made plans to release a full integratino "suite" for mediawiki, including customizable MantisBT plugin, template for MediaWiki to embed in MantisBT, and a MedaiWiki extension for linking back to MantisBT, but I never had the time20:36
Simpson_2interesting :)20:36
Simpson_2you have nothing at all ?20:36
nuclear_eclipseI might have a bit of it remaining somewhere on my server, but time is a very limiting factor when I'm both working 20 hours a week and in my last quarter of classes before I graduate university20:36
nuclear_eclipse:)20:36
Simpson_2ah like that :)20:36
Headydo you guys run beta releases or how you use the plugins? I am still waiting for a stable release supporting plugins20:36
* daryn is back.20:36

darynhi paul__20:36
paul___lo daryn20:36
paul___you busy next week?20:36
daryni'm always busy these days.  but what do you have in mind?20:36
nuclear_eclipseHeady: we run the development versions on our official tracker20:36
OscarTgrouchis there a way to stop a virtual machine from the comand line20:36
nuclear_eclipsewhat VM system are you using?20:36
OscarTgrouchVWware server 2.0 on ubuntu20:36
nuclear_eclipselikely not then20:36
nuclear_eclipseI know you can with VirtualBox though20:36

[KK]Kirillskil: change projects to private. and add users to needed project20:36
[KK]KirillJohn, you here?20:36
nuclear_eclipseyep20:36
[KK]Kirillhi.20:36
nuclear_eclipsehowdy20:36
[KK]KirillDid git support filename in national character?20:36
nuclear_eclipseit should20:36
nuclear_eclipseI would assume that if the filesystem supports it, Git will too20:36
[KK]KirillI try create local rep for check all version files. I have folder Обработки мои20:36
[KK]KirillIn msysgit I cann't git add "Обработки мои"20:36
nuclear_eclipsethen maybe it doesn't support them - I don't know for sure20:36
[KK]KirillI want know, this only mistake msysgit or git20:36
[KK]Kirillok. I ask msysgit developers20:36
[KK]Kirillone more question20:36
nuclear_eclipseit could be a result of running Git on Windows, or just a design decision in Git itself to not handle UTF-820:36
[KK]Kirillcan you open page git.mantisforge.org?20:36
[KK]Kirillwhat last change after mantisbt.git MantisBT paul@mantisforge.org ?20:36

slestakhi guys.  i am looking at mantis for our issue tracking.  Is it possible to remove or hide fields from the ui?20:36
nuclear_eclipsecertain ones can be disabled, yes20:36
slestakwe do not have releases or versioning.  We are just maintianing our ERP and tracking enhancemenents20:36
nuclear_eclipseslestak: look in config_defaults_inc for various options; copy ones you want to change into your config_inc and set them there20:36

slestaknuclear_eclipse: thx.  good comments in teh config_defaults_inc20:36
BAMaustinHello all.  Thought I'd eavesdrop for a while20:36
darynBAMaustin pretty quiet lately. not much to eavesdrop on20:36
BAMaustinSorta figured it would be.  Since Mantis development has SO many lines of communication, it just makes sense to check 'em all out20:36
BAMaustinI should have logged in before I posted issues to the tracker earlier... just to see how that works with the bot20:36
darynthis and the dev list are the best places for official activity20:36
sleighboyHi, I have a question on the Roadmap feature (using 1.1.6), does a project or issue have to be public for the roadmap to publish? I met the documented default requiments with an issue for it to appear in roadmap, but nothing shows.20:36
nuclear_eclipseBAMaustin: if you're curious, IRC logs are stored at http://www.mantisforge.org/irclogs/20:36
nuclear_eclipsesleighboy: the user needs access to the roadmap for it to show, and you need to either have that project, or All Projects selected20:36
BAMaustinThx .20:36
BAMaustin<sleighboy>  Just retested to be sure with a Private project.  It showed the Private too for Admin viewing the Roadmap20:36
sleighboyI have a test project, added two versions 0.0.1 (Released) and 0.1 (not Released), added a issue reported it in the only option (naturally) 0.0.1 .. then resolved it and marke dit was resolved in 0.1. I am an admin, and I assigned it to myself. Should it not show in the roadmap?20:36
sleighboyShows in Changelog, BTW20:36
darynsleighboy: ah, roadmap is for issues that have not been resolved.  once it's in a resolved state it will show up in the changelog instead of the roadmap20:36
nuclear_eclipsedaryn: it should show up in the roadmap as well because the version it was resolved in was still marked an unreleased20:36
nuclear_eclipses/an/as/20:36
sleighboyYes, that is what I thought. I had not seen where it can be assigned to a non-released version and not be marked resolved20:36
nuclear_eclipsesleighboy: what status do you have set for the version 0.1?20:36
nuclear_eclipseeg, "development" is the only version status that will show up in the roadmap; released and stable will only show in the changelog, and obsolete will not show anywhere20:36
nuclear_eclipsealso make sure the version's view status is set to public20:36
nuclear_eclipseand that it is enabled20:36
sleighboyFor versions the only option is Released20:36
sleighboyName, Daet Order, Desc., Released20:36
sleighboyDate20:36
sleighboyI tried with the Project being Dev/Released/Stable/Obsol20:36
sleighboyThis is upgraded from a previous version of Mantis, and I did not do the upgrade myself, if that helps any. Not sure if there were any data or scheme changes that needed to be made on an upgrade that were not done.20:36
nuclear_eclipsesleighboy: what version?20:36
sleighboyRunning 1.1.6 now, are you asking what I upgraded from? I will have too see if I can get that, I installed it about 2 years ago :)20:36
nuclear_eclipseno, shouldn't need to worry about the old version20:36
nuclear_eclipsehas your installation been modified in any manner?20:36
sleighboyWas 1.0.720:36
sleighboyNo20:36
sleighboyI had added a custom helper function for the roadmap which returned true, and stll no-go.20:36
nuclear_eclipsesleighboy: at this point, the only thing I can suggest is to try creating a fresh installation elsewhere, and see if you can get it work straight out of the box20:36
nuclear_eclipseand on the fresh install, try doing it without any customizations to configurations20:36
sleighboyOkay, I'll give it go, thanks20:36
nuclear_eclipseeg, if you can't get it working with a pristine install, then perhaps there's a bug somewhere; otherwise it would point to some sort of trouble with either your configuration or something else, and if you can narrow down the problem, you can either find and report a bug, or fix an "incorrect" configuration - I don't know which it might be20:36

paul___xen was generating bad time stuff20:36
paul___so switch to using clock within domain I think20:36
paul___and install ntpd20:36
nuclear_eclipsedoes that mean your server's time will finally match real time, rather than being ahead by five minutes?20:36
BAMaustinI didn't have versions set for that Subproject so set that up, set a Target & Product version.  Didn't realize that the Target version had to be Unreleased to showed in Roadmap20:36
paul___nuclear_eclipse: heh20:36
BAMaustinHad made a bad assumption that I had to have versions set to 'released' to be in the Version pop-up lists20:36
paul___anyway, nuclear_eclipse 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!20:36
BAMaustinSo I'd been setting my future versions to released too20:36
nuclear_eclipsepaul___: what about 2 weeks?20:36
paul___well I work in a school20:36
paul___school has no kids for easter hols20:36
paul___until 2 weeks time20:36
paul___;)20:36
nuclear_eclipsewow, that's quite a break...20:36
nuclear_eclipsewe only ever got a week off in school, if even that much...20:36
paul___so like20:36
paul___1.2a4?20:36

nuclear_eclipsepaul___: if you can get pluggable authentication implemented, I'll make a 1.2.0a4 release20:36
BAMaustinAh.  that 'splains it.20:36
paul___nuclear_eclipse: I saw you posted about manual20:36
* paul___ thinks we should move to .xml for manual20:36
* paul___ can't find a editor for docbook that suppots .sgml20:36
nuclear_eclipsepaul___: vim, emacs, and notepad support .sgml, it's just raw text.....20:36
paul___yea, but that's no good :)20:36
* paul___ wants something more useful ;p20:36
nuclear_eclipseit's no harder to write SGML tags than it is to write HTML tags....20:36
paul___out of interest20:36
paul___do you know flash ?20:36
nuclear_eclipseI try not to20:36
BAMaustindunno about XML its sorta a non-standard standard since ANYONE can add a tag type.  Then you have to handle all the special types20:36
paul___what are we doing with 9856?20:36
paul___you want me to look at it ?:)20:36
nuclear_eclipseBAMaustin: with DocBook, there's a standardized DTD, meaning that's not true20:36
nuclear_eclipsepaul___: if you wouldn't mind, yes, I'd like you to look at it20:36
paul___BAMaustin: the docbook 'editors' i've found, only support xml dtd's20:36
paul___(yes, I know it's plain text)20:36
nuclear_eclipseXML is just a subset of SGML anyways...20:36
paul___surely it's other way around?20:36
BAMaustinInteresting.  Last 'chunky' file format I worked in extensively was IFF back in the '80s20:36
nuclear_eclipsepaul___: nope, SGML is a very old and loose standard for markup languages, and both HTML and XML are subsets of the SGML language; both simply standardize a lot of inner details, but both are basically SGML with a bunch of special rules20:36
paul___ok20:36
paul___nuclear_eclipse: what git version are you on?20:36
nuclear_eclipsejreese@iowa[/space/workspace/mantisbt] git version                        < 9:0920:36
nuclear_eclipsegit version 1.6.1.220:36
nuclear_eclipsethat's just the last version that I took the time to compile20:36
nuclear_eclipseon every other machine I use, I just  have the standard package from the distro, but it's generally at least 1.5.x or never20:36
nuclear_eclipsenewer*20:36
