| vb123 | hey | 02:50 |
| vb123 | paul_: post relating to auth plugins - http://www.mantisbt.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6998 | 02:50 |
| vb123 | Just resent the email relating to 1.2 release. Let's identify blocking issues or get the 1.2rc1 out of the door. | 02:56 |

| nuclear_eclipse | 09:09 < mib_5ievlf> 10542 is irrelevt | 17:27 |
| nuclear_eclipse | that one? | 17:27 |
| paul_ | yes | 17:27 |
| nuclear_eclipse | saw it, wasn't sure if that was you or some random entity :P | 17:28 |
| paul_ | with the spelling correction from the line below | 17:28 |
| paul_ | :P | 17:28 |
| * paul_ wants to upgrade his mantsiforgebox | 17:32 | |
| nuclear_eclipse | you're insane | 17:33 |
| paul_ | why? :) | 17:33 |
| nuclear_eclipse | or are you talking about package upgrades? | 17:33 |
| paul_ | no | 17:33 |
| paul_ | box ;p | 17:33 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you're insane | 17:33 |
| paul_ | why? :P | 17:33 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you aren't even close to hitting capacity as it is.... | 17:33 |
| paul_ | upgraded box is cheaper :P | 17:33 |
| paul_ | anyway | 17:34 |
| paul_ | 10542 is an irrelevant issue | 17:34 |
| nuclear_eclipse | k | 17:34 |
| paul_ | I was thinking about making a new 1.2 beta package this weekend or something | 17:34 |
| nuclear_eclipse | I'd rather you hold off for a week | 17:35 |
| paul_ | we need to fix tests | 17:35 |
| paul_ | and pick a logo | 17:35 |
| paul_ | before an RC | 17:35 |
| nuclear_eclipse | I got a random email from someone following the mantisbt-help list telling me to not top-post... | 17:40 |
| nuclear_eclipse | happend in reply to one of the responses I'd sent from my G1 phone, where I have no control over where the app puts my text in relation to the quoted section.... | 17:43 |
| paul_ | :) | 17:58 |
| paul_ | nuclear_eclipse: so what are you working on? | 18:01 |
| nuclear_eclipse | I'm working on some fixes and improvements for plugins, including how caching headers work on plugin pages; got some plans for extending email notification flags as requested by multiple mantisbt.org bugs and by my employer, and other minor improvements stemming from the features added in 1.2.x | 18:03 |
| sshirley | Anyone here or is it all bots? :-) | 19:30 |
| sshirley | *crickets* | 19:32 |
| sshirley | Deutsch vielleicht? | 19:40 |
| nuclear_eclipse | sshirley: not *all* bots... | 19:48 |
| sshirley | Excellent!! | 19:48 |
| sshirley | :-) | 19:48 |
| sshirley | I'm having some really disturbing issues with customizing priority enums. I follow the examples in the manual (http://www.mantisbt.org/manual/manual.customizing.mantis.enumerations.php) but the changes won't stick. Meaning I save the file and the new values in the dropdowns don't appear. | 19:50 |
| harpreet_singh | Hi, | 19:51 |
| nuclear_eclipse | sshirley: what version of Mantis? | 19:52 |
| sshirley | In config_defaults_inc.php, I have the following string: '$g_priority_enum_string= '10:none,20:low,30:normal,40:high,50:urgent,60:immediate';'. In strings_english.txt, I have: | 19:52 |
| sshirley | $s_priority_enum_string = '10:HOLD,20:P5,30:P4,40:P3,50:P2,60:P1'; | 19:52 |
| sshirley | #$s_priority_enum_string = '10:none,20:low,30:normal,40:high,50:urgent,60:immediate'; | 19:52 |
| harpreet_singh | I want to add my sharepoint document's URL in the DOC's. Where I have to modified. Now if I click on the User's Documentation it is re-directing to http://manual.mantisbt.org. I want to retain this and add new one. | 19:53 |
| nuclear_eclipse | sshirley: where are you setting the variable? which file? | 19:53 |
| sshirley | Someone changed the text a while back to reflex the P1-P5 and I am trying to modify that to say P7 or something. My changes are not appearing. I am using version 1.1.0. | 19:54 |
| sshirley | Nuclear: I am populating that in strings_english.txt | 19:55 |
| nuclear_eclipse | sorry, missed that | 19:55 |
| sshirley | The smiley faces above are actually ':' and 'P' together. | 19:56 |
| nuclear_eclipse | sshirley: can you try restarting your web server, make sure it's not caching old versions of the files? | 19:56 |
| nuclear_eclipse | sshirley: I'm using Irssi from a console; I don't get smilies :P | 19:57 |
| sshirley | Nuclear: I am using WAMPServer 2.0. I've restarted it many times but maybe there is some caching going on that I am unaware of. | 19:58 |
| nuclear_eclipse | hmm | 19:58 |
| nuclear_eclipse | so what do you see in the selection list? | 19:59 |
| sshirley | The Apache cache module isn't enabled. | 19:59 |
| sshirley | I see HOLD, P5, P4, P3, P2, P1 | 20:00 |
| nuclear_eclipse | ok, so that matches what you have in your config and strings, so what's the problem? | 20:02 |
| sshirley | I've been using Firefox all along and I just tried the site in IE7 for the first time (to see if the browser was doing any caching) but no difference. | 20:02 |
| sshirley | Right, it matches. The thing is I want to modify those strings. To test I tried replacing the P1 with a WA (again, just to test). I saved the file, restarted the server (just to make sure), and the P1 was still there. | 20:03 |
| nuclear_eclipse | dumb questions, and please don't take offense, but I need to eliminate the obvious: | 20:04 |
| nuclear_eclipse | are you sure you're editing the copy of the files that the server is using? eg, do you need to put them in a special place or upload them to the server first? | 20:05 |
| sshirley | No problem. Ask away. | 20:05 |
| sshirley | I am doing this all locally at the moment | 20:05 |
| nuclear_eclipse | check custom_strings_inc.php to make sure there's nothing there to override strings_english.txt; all changes should be made in custom_strings_inc anyways, as it makes upgrades easier | 20:06 |
| nuclear_eclipse | might be core/custom_* too | 20:07 |
| sshirley | In the main directory there are no custom_* files and in core/ all I have are custom_field_api and custom_function_api | 20:08 |
| nuclear_eclipse | hmm | 20:09 |
| nuclear_eclipse | then I'm rather at a loss as to why changes wouldn't be propogating | 20:09 |
| sshirley | :-) | 20:10 |
| sshirley | Me too :-) | 20:10 |
| sshirley | I mean, I don't think my code is calling anything online. I made a copy of our production Mantis install plus the DB. That copy is on my local machine where I am making the changes. | 20:14 |
| sshirley | The default is strings_english.txt, right? | 20:19 |
| nuclear_eclipse | depends on what language you're using, but yes | 20:19 |
| sshirley | I'm in the US and we're not doing any multilingual stuff | 20:19 |
| sshirley | Nuclear? | 20:28 |
| nuclear_eclipse | yo | 20:28 |
| sshirley | I feel like a retard | 20:28 |
| nuclear_eclipse | uh oh | 20:28 |
| sshirley | I was editing in the wrong directory. I had copied the production stuff to my local machine. I unzipped the stuff into a Mantis directory in Temp/. Then I copied Mantis into the C:\wamp\www directory (where it actually lives and runs). Well when I set up my NetBeans project, I pointed it to the Temp/Mantis. :-) :-( | 20:31 |
| sshirley | Duh | 20:31 |
| sshirley | Thanks for pointing that out | 20:31 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you're welcome | 20:31 |
| sshirley | Luckily I have only been on this project since late this morning, so I didn't waste too much time. | 20:32 |
| nuclear_eclipse | lol | 20:33 |
| sshirley | So now in order to do full customizations, I change what the possible values are for the dropdowns in core/constant_inc.php and then define the strings in strings_english.txt (if I want to add and/or delete selections). Correct? | 20:36 |
| nuclear_eclipse | no | 20:38 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you should customize the $g_*_enum_string in your config_inc.php (leave the config_defaults_inc value alone), and then override the $s_*_enum_string in custom_strings_inc.php (leaving strings_english.txt alone) | 20:39 |
| irenedakota | Hi there. Is there a plugin to integrate Mantis into an IRC server? | 20:40 |
| nuclear_eclipse | basically, don't modify the existing files, make the modifications in the special files that Mantis uses to override defaults | 20:40 |
| nuclear_eclipse | irenedakota: there's a plugin for Supybot that will do announcements on new/closed issues | 20:40 |
| nuclear_eclipse | https://github.com/giallu/supybot-mantis/tree | 20:40 |
| irenedakota | nuclear_eclipse: Thanks, will look into it. Does it allow you to grab bug details from Mantis? | 20:42 |
| nuclear_eclipse | bug 9999 | 20:43 |
| mantisbot | Bug 9999 - arul_k_kumar - fixed - closed | 20:43 |
| mantisbot | APPLICATION ERROR #2800 - While submit a new bug - http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=9999 | 20:43 |
| irenedakota | And mantisbot is running that plugin? | 20:44 |
| nuclear_eclipse | yep | 20:44 |
| irenedakota | awesome. | 20:44 |
| irenedakota | Got to say, I've been comparing Trac, Bugzilla and Mantis and so far Mantis is much nicer then the others | 20:45 |
| nuclear_eclipse | agreed ;) | 20:45 |
| nuclear_eclipse | but thank you :) | 20:45 |
| irenedakota | lol, pleasure | 20:46 |
| irenedakota | Bugzilla took ages to install, and then it looks horrible and after 3 days of not being able to figure out how to customise it, I gave up. | 20:46 |
| harpreet_singh | I want to add my sharepoint document's URL in the DOC's. Where I have to add it. Now if I click on the User's Documentation it is re-directing to http://manual.mantisbt.org. I want to retain this and add new one. | 20:47 |
| irenedakota | I'm still trying to get Trac installed. | 20:47 |
| irenedakota | Mantis was a breeze, and it's in php (which I know very well) | 20:47 |
| nuclear_eclipse | harpreet_singh: I don't think that's possible | 20:47 |
| sshirley | Nuclear: So you're saying that I should put the '$g_priority_enum_string= '10:none,20:low,30:normal,40:high,50:urgent,60:immediate';' line into my config_inc.php (along with hostname, db_username, etc) and then create a custom_strings_inc.php (as I currently don't have one) to put in the $s_*_enum_strings? | 20:48 |
| nuclear_eclipse | correct | 20:48 |
| sshirley | Nuclear: BTW, are you one of the authors? | 20:48 |
| nuclear_eclipse | yes | 20:48 |
| sshirley | Wow | 20:48 |
| sshirley | Cool :-) | 20:49 |
| nuclear_eclipse | <- jreese, in case you see me on the tracker or the list :P | 20:49 |
| nuclear_eclipse | hi Victor | 20:49 |
| vb123 | hi nuclear_eclipse | 20:49 |
| nuclear_eclipse | vb123: will you be online for a while? I'm about to head home from work, and would like to discuss plans for 1.2 if possible | 20:50 |
| vb123 | I will try to. I think we should branch this weekend, then release rc1 in a week or so. We can still merge what we think is necessary and ready | 20:51 |
| vb123 | from memory, your list didn't have anything that is big. | 20:51 |
| sshirley | So in my config_inc.php, I currently don't have any string definitions (like $g_priority_enum_string). It's alright to throw those in there? Also, whatever is in custom_string_inc.php will override what is in strings_english.txt? | 20:51 |
| nuclear_eclipse | well, I do have some features/improvements that I'd like to get in before we branch | 20:51 |
| vb123 | Are these what you sent out? | 20:52 |
| vb123 | wouldn't be easy to merge them via git? | 20:52 |
| nuclear_eclipse | I'm back to fulltime at work, so I should be able to get these done by the end of next week, if we could put off branching until then | 20:52 |
| vb123 | there will always be something in the pipeline that is a reason why we should keep pushing. | 20:53 |
| nuclear_eclipse | yes, but I think it might be a bit to much to merge in *after* an RC release/branch... | 20:53 |
| vb123 | once you are ready, someone else will have something. | 20:53 |
| nuclear_eclipse | vb123: well, it's stuff I've needed to get fixed for quite a while | 20:53 |
| nuclear_eclipse | eg, I have a bunch of branches started in my workspace, just need to take the time to finish them and merge to master, and then I can roll an RC | 20:54 |
| vb123 | can we do this in a week then? | 20:54 |
| nuclear_eclipse | yep | 20:54 |
| vb123 | OK, let's target the following weekend and avoid commiting de-stabilizing or big changes till then. | 20:54 |
| nuclear_eclipse | k | 20:54 |
| vb123 | I haven't got feedback from paul_ yet. So I hope he is on the same page. | 20:55 |
| vb123 | specially relating to his date related changes that went in. | 20:55 |
| nuclear_eclipse | the date stuff seems rather stable for how much it touched | 20:55 |
| irenedakota | Quick Q. I haven't had a change to look into the documentation in any great details, but I haven't found any information on how to change the look/feel of mantis. Is it in there, or should I be looking somewhere else? | 20:55 |
| nuclear_eclipse | irenedakota: really, your only option on that is to modify the CSS file | 20:55 |
| vb123 | you will need to play with the style sheet in the css/ folder. | 20:55 |
| irenedakota | nuclear_eclipse: So there's no centralised templating system? | 20:56 |
| vb123 | however, we aren't using the full features of css, e.g. we use tables, etc. So there is so much you can do. | 20:56 |
| nuclear_eclipse | no templates | 20:56 |
| vb123 | you have features to add headers, footers, etc. | 20:56 |
| irenedakota | pity, they make life much easier :) Maybe version 2 | 20:56 |
| irenedakota | You ever play around with CakePHP? | 20:57 |
| nuclear_eclipse | irenedakota: it is indeed a nine year old app :P | 20:57 |
| irenedakota | Wow, didn't know that | 20:57 |
| nuclear_eclipse | and frameworks are basically out of the question unless we decide on a full rewrite of the codebase; ie, no chance | 20:58 |
| irenedakota | Going the framework route is a lot of work. I'm currently in the process of rewriting a project of mine using Cake. | 21:00 |
| irenedakota | Hence why I say, maybe version 2 :) | 21:00 |
| vb123 | what is your feedback on Cake? | 21:01 |
| irenedakota | I love it | 21:03 |
| irenedakota | to put it simply | 21:03 |
| irenedakota | It is very easy to use, very powerful, has very strict conventions (Which I like). But, the nice thing is that if you want to break the conventions it doesn't get in your way | 21:07 |
| sshirley | Nuclear: I'm out of here. Thanks again! | 21:14 |
| paul_ | vb123: yea, a weeks probably good for me | 21:51 |
| paul_ | and is the sort of timeframe I spoke to john about / was thinking about before your mail anyway | 21:52 |
| vb123 | ok paul_ | 21:53 |
| vb123 | So branching by June 6th. | 21:54 |
| paul_ | wee need to decide on logo first | 21:54 |
| vb123 | Logo can come in anytime. | 21:54 |
| vb123 | ideally before 1.2 final, but I wouldn't even hold that for the logo. | 21:55 |
| paul_ | vb123: sure, but it's still important :) | 22:52 |
| paul_ | at least, | 22:52 |
| paul_ | another question might be | 22:52 |
| paul_ | do we need to cfhange current one? | 22:52 |
| paul_ | (I assume answer is yes to reflect bt | 22:53 |
| vb123 | paul_: The generic requirements for a logo are: | 23:02 |
| vb123 | 1. nice | 23:02 |
| vb123 | 2. art available in vector format. | 23:02 |
| vb123 | 3. If it includes name, then it should reflect "BT". | 23:02 |
