| ToffeePops | Hi, is it possible to prevent users from updating 'additional information' after an issue has been opened? | 01:00 |
|---|---|---|
| geek745 | got a bunch of typo suggestions for coding rules on http://www.mantisbt.org/guidelines.php | 04:23 |
| geek745 | should I just hit the -dev mailing list for that? | 04:23 |
| geek745 | the phpinfo.net page linked from the guidelines page is also not loading for me at this time... | 04:25 |
| ToffeePops | Hi, is it possible to prevent users from updating 'additional information' after an issue has been opened? | 10:52 |
| nuclear_eclipse | ToffeePops: not without hack | 11:35 |
| nuclear_eclipse | a hack* | 11:36 |
| ToffeePops | ah, ok. | 11:37 |
| ToffeePops | nuclear_eclipse: problem is we have some staff who keep modifying that info at the start of an issue, rather than just adding new notes... | 11:41 |
| ToffeePops | Sure there are those 'revisions' links in the issue history area... but it's a pain to always have to go to those. Basically it's a staff training/disipline thing, but it'd be nice if we could just stop them! | 11:41 |
| nuclear_eclipse | ToffeePops: oh, I know! | 11:42 |
| nuclear_eclipse | ToffeePops: edit your config_inc.php to remove those fields from the update page | 11:43 |
| ToffeePops | oh, how cool is that! I'll take a squizz... | 11:43 |
| nuclear_eclipse | I keep forgetting that we've added that feature :P | 11:44 |
| ToffeePops | nuclear_eclipse: works great, thanks! | 11:56 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you're welcome :) | 11:58 |
| ToffeePops | It's a bit of a bugger that the admin can't edit those fields now either, but I guess admin can sneak in, change the setting temporarily... or just hack the database direct ;-) | 11:58 |
| nuclear_eclipse | ToffeePops: you could potentially add a config value to the database that overrides the default configuration for users with higher access values... | 12:00 |
| ToffeePops | crikey I wouldn't know where to start ;-) | 12:02 |
| nuclear_eclipse | :P | 12:02 |
| nuclear_eclipse | undiscoverable features ftw | 12:02 |
| ToffeePops | nuclear_eclipse: Oh - would I add a new row to mantis_config_table, with a config_id like 'update_issues_page_columns'? | 12:11 |
| ToffeePops | And with a whole lotta stuff like a:19:{i:0;s:2:"id";i:1;s:10:"project_id";i:2;s:11:... ??? | 12:11 |
| ToffeePops | (ftw??) | 12:11 |
| nuclear_eclipse | yep | 12:11 |
| nuclear_eclipse | and the access level setting would be 50 or 90 or whatever matches the level you'd want | 12:11 |
| ToffeePops | that's pretty cool | 12:12 |
| ToffeePops | and is there any guide to what all the a:19:{i:0;s:2:"id";i:1;s:10:"project_id";i:2;s:11:... stuff means? | 12:12 |
| ToffeePops | I mean, what do I start with? | 12:13 |
| nuclear_eclipse | I believe it's the PHP serialization format | 12:13 |
| ToffeePops | I can see there are field names in there, but... | 12:13 |
| ToffeePops | ah, ok | 12:13 |
| nuclear_eclipse | php> =serialize(array("foo" => "bar", 1 => 3)) | 12:14 |
| nuclear_eclipse | "a:2:{s:3:\"foo\";s:3:\"bar\";i:1;i:3;}" | 12:14 |
| ToffeePops | i=integer, s=string methinks? | 12:14 |
| nuclear_eclipse | it's just a recusive combination of <type>:<length>:<value> | 12:14 |
| nuclear_eclipse | yep | 12:14 |
| nuclear_eclipse | in the case of <type> == i, there is no length | 12:15 |
| ToffeePops | groovy | 12:15 |
| ToffeePops | (no, not that 'other' groovy | 12:15 |
| ToffeePops | :) | 12:15 |
| nuclear_eclipse | :P | 12:15 |
| nuclear_eclipse | http://us3.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.serialization.php | 12:16 |
| ToffeePops | cheers. one last thing - does the 'config_id' value matter or is that pretty arbitrary? | 12:17 |
| nuclear_eclipse | if it's a number, it's probably just an auto-increment | 12:17 |
| ToffeePops | config_id varchar(64) | 12:18 |
| ToffeePops | well I'll try it tomorrow after our nightly backup ;-) | 12:19 |
| ToffeePops | Not sure if you know about this... I thought I saw a proposal to replace www.gravatar.com with something else (or provide an alternate means)... has anything been worked on in this area? | 12:19 |
| nuclear_eclipse | I know it's been proposed, but I don't think anyone ever actually started working towards it | 12:20 |
| ToffeePops | ok | 12:20 |
| nuclear_eclipse | afaik, the only people who really wanted it were unwilling to actually implement it | 12:20 |
| nuclear_eclipse | or the one person who submitted some code did a very incomplete job of it | 12:20 |
| nuclear_eclipse | I can't remember 100% | 12:20 |
| nuclear_eclipse | it's a complex problem :P | 12:21 |
| ToffeePops | I was just curious... not a biggie for us :-) | 12:21 |
| ToffeePops | Hey, thanks heaps for your help. Am wrecked, need to get home and get some sleep, cheers | 12:22 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you're welcome | 12:22 |
| phr34k | hello i'm trying to interact with MantisConnect from c# - i'm getting this error; Element 'faultstring' with namespace name '' was not found. Line 6, position 117. | 12:39 |
| phr34k | i've found one blog entry where the author resolved the error by switching the layouts as to what .net expects i.e. exact ordering, i've tried to reproduce his but didn't work for me. | 12:41 |
| bajki | hi | 17:19 |
| bajki | i have a question connected to guest permissions | 17:28 |
| bajki | i can see that main mantis bugtracker is opened to guests, they can browse tickets, milestones, changelog etc | 17:28 |
| bajki | but on my local mantis, there is no possibility to use tracker without logging in | 17:29 |
| bajki | i was searching for proper option in admin panel but i didn't found anything | 17:29 |
| nuclear_eclipse | bajki: you have to create a user account to be used as the anonymous user, and edit your config_inc.php to enable that functionality | 17:30 |
| bajki | oh | 17:30 |
| nuclear_eclipse | look at config_inc.php.sample | 17:30 |
| bajki | ok i'll check that | 17:30 |
| bajki | hmm | 17:31 |
| bajki | oh ok, you're right, thanks! :) | 17:32 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you're welcome | 17:32 |
| bajki | ok it works, great, thanks again for help and take care | 17:41 |
| phr34k | nobody any help on my problem/question? | 18:17 |
| nuclear_eclipse | phr34k: I don't have any useful experience with the SOAP API, esp not with C#, and I don't think anyone else is around atm | 18:19 |
| nuclear_eclipse | sorry | 18:19 |
| nuclear_eclipse | you could send a message to the mantisbt-help@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list and see if someone can help you there | 18:19 |
| phr34k | i'll try my chances there i suppose then thanks | 18:23 |
