| kenguest | how do I install a mantis plugin | 09:03 |
| kenguest | ? | 09:03 |
| giallu | kenguest, which one? | 09:03 |
| giallu | usually, you put them in the "plugins" directory | 09:04 |
| giallu | then browse mantis to the manage plugins page | 09:04 |
| giallu | and activate it | 09:04 |
| kenguest | the autofill one - I've downloaded it and its dependencies, copied them into the plugins directory and refreshed the Manage Plugins page but they dont show up | 09:04 |
| giallu | autofill? I missed that one | 09:05 |
| giallu | url? | 09:05 |
| kenguest | http://deboutv.free.fr/mantis/plugin.php?plugin=AutoFill | 09:05 |
| giallu | gotcha. | 09:05 |
| giallu | those used to be for 1.1 | 09:05 |
| giallu | I don0t know if the author is working on porting them to 1.2 | 09:06 |
| giallu | but you can ask on his forums | 09:06 |
| kenguest | ah. I wasn't aware they would be incompatible with the new architecture | 09:06 |
| kenguest | I'll certainly ask the author | 09:07 |
| kenguest | is there a list of plugins for the 1.2 version of mantis? | 09:07 |
| giallu | we are collecting them in git.mantisforge.org | 09:14 |

| CIA-11 | Mantisbt: jreese master-1.1.x * rb127306f8c06 / (core/constant_inc.php doc/CREDITS doc/ChangeLog): Prepare for 1.1.7 release. | 13:25 |
| paulr | john? | 13:34 |
| nuclear_eclipse | hi paulr | 13:35 |
| paulr | you've probably observed I got bored @ weekend | 13:37 |
| * paulr needs help with projects hierachies | 13:37 | |
| nuclear_eclipse | I did notice a giant set of commits in IRC, but I don't think I got an email from git... =\ | 13:37 |
| paulr | mm, we didn't | 13:39 |
| * nuclear_eclipse kicks 1.1.x out the door | 13:54 | |
| AndyH | I'm having issues trying to start the initial issue numbers of my bug tracking server, cany anyone help?? | 14:49 |
| nuclear_eclipse | what's your problem? | 14:50 |
| AndyH | i'm currently evaluating a Mantis as a bug tracking system, and I don't want my issue numbers to start as 00001 and 00002, I want them to be 001001 001002 etc, to start off say from 1000+ | 14:51 |
| giallu | nuclear_eclipse, can you confirm 1.1.7 update do not need DB schema upgrades? | 14:51 |
| nuclear_eclipse | AndyH: you'll need to alter your database table to start the auto-increment at a higher number | 14:51 |
| nuclear_eclipse | giallu: correct | 14:51 |
| giallu | nuclear_eclipse, ok thanks | 14:52 |
| AndyH | where do I alter the database table from? (sorry, I'm new user to Mantis) | 14:52 |
| AndyH | do I do it from the MySQL end, or the mantis config end? | 14:52 |
| * giallu preparing the RPM update for Fedora | 14:52 | |
| nuclear_eclipse | it's not part of mantis, you'll need to work directly with your database to do that | 14:52 |
| AndyH | I'm currently using MySQL | 14:52 |
| * nuclear_eclipse recommends setting up phpMyAdmin and using that | 14:53 | |
| AndyH | ok, once i've installed phpmyAdmin what file would I need to modify | 14:54 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you'll need to log into phpmyadmin and modify the mantis_bug_table, but I'm not sure how to procede beyond that as I've never done it myself | 14:55 |
| AndyH | Ok, thanks for you're help. I'll install phpMyAdmin and see what I can do from there with the mantis_bug_table, thanks for you're help :) | 14:57 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you're welcome | 14:57 |
| * daryn_away is away: Gone away for now | 15:50 | |
| * daryn is back. | 15:51 | |
| daryn | nuclear_eclipse and/or paulr can you point me at some info for setting up a git hosting site similar to git.mantisbt or git. mantisforge for intranet use? | 15:55 |
| paulr | git.mantisforge.org is clever hackery of sshd chroots etc | 16:04 |
| daryn | where is the docs for actually setting up the environment though...the repo browsing, cloning, creating projects, etc. | 16:06 |
| daryn | i assume you're using repo.or.cz | 16:07 |
| daryn | paulr uhg...this is more of a pain than i expected... | 16:33 |
| paul_ | daryn: if you come back on msn | 17:52 |
| paul_ | was trying to send you file | 17:52 |
| paul_ | daryn: if you come back on msn | 17:53 |
| paul_ | was trying to send you file | 17:53 |
| * daryn_away is away: Gone away for now | 18:06 | |
| paul_ | nuclear_eclipse: I assume your still overloaded with life? :) | 18:14 |
| daryn_away | paul_ back | 18:32 |
| * daryn_ is back. | 18:32 | |
| nuclear_eclipse | daryn: setting up mantibt.org is trivial; it's when you want the repo forking and stuff from mantisforge.org that it gets crazy | 18:42 |
| daryn | right... | 18:43 |
| nuclear_eclipse | mantisbt.org is gitosis + gitweb; you could set it up on any server in about 20 minutes max | 18:44 |
| daryn | ok. that's a start | 18:44 |
| nuclear_eclipse | gimme a moment, and I'll link you to the gitosis documentation | 18:44 |
| daryn | cool. thanks | 18:45 |
| nuclear_eclipse | gitosis is just a set of automation for creating and managing a set of git repositories; once you have that set up, you can rut git-daemon and/or gitweb off a set of symlinks to your gitosis repositories, and you're done | 18:47 |
| nuclear_eclipse | this is the "best" guide for installing gitosis: http://scie.nti.st/2007/11/14/hosting-git-repositories-the-easy-and-secure-way | 18:48 |
| daryn | thx | 18:48 |
| nuclear_eclipse | and this is the wiki entry I wrote up on how to use it :http://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/mantisbt:gitosis_management | 18:49 |
| paul_ | daryn: lo | 19:05 |
| paul_ | daryn: I can spam you the logs of of when I set it up if you want also | 19:05 |
| * daryn_away is away: Gone away for now | 19:28 | |
| * daryn is back. | 19:34 | |
| paul_ | wb | 19:49 |
| daryn | only temporarily | 19:49 |
| paul_ | daryn: out of interest, have you ever looked at subprojects in mantis? | 19:53 |
| daryn | very little | 19:53 |
| paul_ | nuclear_eclipse: what have you done on/with projects in mantis? | 19:56 |
| paul_ | mm, I might just print it out and get a pen ;/ | 19:57 |
| w00ter | Is it possible to customise Status and Priority on a per project base? I've managed to customise them globally but am seeking for something i can use per project | 20:10 |
| paul_ | how did you customise them globally? | 20:12 |
| nuclear_eclipse | w00ter: it's possible to do it by setting those values it the database via Manage Configuration Report | 20:13 |
| paul_ | nuclear_eclipse: what have you done on/with projects in mantis? | 20:13 |
| nuclear_eclipse | not too much other than fixing/improving some tiny things when I made the category ID enhacements | 20:13 |
| w00ter | paul_: I've customised them globally via the howto on mantisbt.org: editting config_inc.php custom_constant_inc.php and custom_strings_inc.php | 20:14 |
| w00ter | nuclear_eclipse: How to go about it? Ive seen the option in mantis, but have no clue on how to fill the fields there. Is there a manual or description somewhere on how to use that field? | 20:16 |
| nuclear_eclipse | w00ter: I believe there is a basic description of the format it's expecting buried in the comments of core/config_inc.php | 20:17 |
| w00ter | nuclear_eclipse: in the manual there is an example of setting things globally. Is there such an example for the Manage Configuration report? | 20:18 |

| nuclear_eclipse | grr | 20:19 |
| joel_foner | quick question... just set up mantis 1.2.0a3 on a new linux box, and the confirmation email is delivered to the endpoint email address, but the confirmation link starts with http://localhost - instead of the right hostname... any thoughts on what thing i've forgotten? thanks in advance... | 21:30 |
| joel_foner | is this a mantis thing, or is my mta misconfigured, i guess is the starting point question? | 21:30 |
| nuclear_eclipse | joel_foner: you're probably accessing it through localhost for testing I assume; by default, it just pulls the URL's from the URL you use to access the instance | 21:33 |
| joel_foner | oh! | 21:33 |
| joel_foner | ok i added the account from the console, and therefore it assumes that's the url.. got it | 21:33 |
| joel_foner | was adding it there and picking up mail on another system - oops | 21:34 |
| joel_foner | thanks | 21:34 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you're welcome | 21:34 |
| joel_foner | pushes staples "that was easy" button :) | 21:34 |
| nuclear_eclipse | ;) | 21:34 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you can set the preferred URL to override it though | 21:34 |
| joel_foner | where is that? i prowled through the ui and didn't find something like that - is it in a config file somewhere? | 21:35 |
| nuclear_eclipse | set $g_path = 'http://...' in your config_inc.php | 21:35 |
| nuclear_eclipse | see config_defaults_inc.php for all available settings, and set them in your config_inc.php | 21:35 |
| joel_foner | ahh right thanks | 21:36 |
| joel_foner | last q - does roadmap generally work right in this version (1.2.0a3)? i tried it in the 1.1 release a month or so ago and couldn't get it to behave, but honestly didn't really spend a lot of time trying to figure out why | 21:36 |
| joel_foner | now i've got a "real project" and figured i'd dig in | 21:37 |
| nuclear_eclipse | the manual explains how to use it in detail, but basically, you need to set the 'Target Version' value for each bug you want to appear on the roadmap | 21:37 |
| joel_foner | yes... i think i did that.. | 21:37 |
| nuclear_eclipse | and the version in question needs to be marked as unreleased | 21:38 |
| joel_foner | ahh i bet that's what it was... i was thinking just has to be dated farther ahead | 21:38 |
| nuclear_eclipse | in 1.1.x, versions defaulted to released status, but that's been fixed in 1.2 | 21:38 |
| joel_foner | <- goes to re-read | 21:38 |
| joel_foner | thx | 21:38 |
| nuclear_eclipse | yw | 21:38 |
| joel_foner | hi nuclear_eclipse... i must be missing something obvious... created a version that is not marked released. assigned an issue to it, and it does not show up in roadmap.. do issues not appear there until they're into workflow maybe? | 22:03 |
| nuclear_eclipse | joel_foner: note that there's a difference between Target Version, Fixed-In Version, and Product Version; the first two only show up on the advanced update views, and the third has no relation to the roadmap | 23:06 |
