CharlesBroughtonHello there.....08:26
CharlesBroughtonPluginmanager doesn't install / work ?  (v0.4.0)08:26
CharlesBroughtonFirst it did a "unexpected < on line 261" where the installer had put "<?php" (so I removed the duplicate).  Now it's doing a fatal call to undefined function plugins_pluginmanager_get_plugin_list() in /var/www/minebt/plugins/pluginmanager/lang_inc.php on line 2308:27
CharlesBroughtonOh boy, time to wait 20mins for a response again lol.08:28
dhx_mCharlesBroughton: please read http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html08:30
CharlesBroughtonLol?08:31
CharlesBroughtonIdk, considering I can't install any plugins without PluginManager v0.4.0 ... why does PluginManager v0.4.0 NOT work?08:31
dhx_mthe "plugin manager" you're attempting to use has nothing to do with MantisBT 1.2.x (it was designed by a third party for 1.1.x and as such is thoroughly outdated by the new plugin system in 1.2.x)08:32
CharlesBroughton.... So how do I installed the mantis.pkg plugins... since the site says they all require PluginManager v0.4.0 and the ONLY installation instruction is "Install with pluginmanager"08:33
dhx_mwithout wanting to sound too harsh, you also really need to brush up on your IRC netiquette if you want people to answer your questions in the future08:33
CharlesBroughtonHeh, I don't ask questions on IRC regularily, because I normally don't have any problems with the web software I use.08:34
CharlesBroughtonI might just be lucky >_>08:34
CharlesBroughtonI type "Mantis plugins" and it brings up http://deboutv.free.fr/mantis/download.php .  Upon which 95% or more of the plugins require pluginmanager v0.4.008:35
dhx_mthat entire site is deprecated (it is a separate plugin system someone developed for MantisBT < 1.2.0) and is of no use any more08:35
dhx_mMantisBT 1.2.x has it's own built in plugin support08:36
dhx_myou can find some existing plugins at git.mantisforge.org08:36
CharlesBroughtonInteresting... because most of the plugins say "works in 1.2.0" which is why I thought they would...08:36
CharlesBroughtonGah08:36
CharlesBroughtonAlright then08:37
CharlesBroughtonHow come the "official graph plugin' the COMES WITH mantisbt does not work, at all?08:37
CharlesBroughtonI get a "font was not found" similar message.08:38
dhx_mdifferent systems have a different location for fonts08:39
dhx_myou'll need to ensure you have a webfonts package installed and that MantisBT configuration is setup to point to the correct font path08:39
dhx_m(search config_defaults_inc.php for a reference to 'font' for the configuration option you need to adjust)08:39
CharlesBroughtonOh boy, cPanel's File Editor crashed Minefield... -_-08:41
CharlesBroughtonMoment while I download the file and search it...08:42
CharlesBroughton$g_system_font_folder= '';08:42
CharlesBroughtonAnd how am I supposed to find where these fonts are?08:42
CharlesBroughtonThe only access to the server I have is through cPanel.  No WHM, and no SSH.08:43
CharlesBroughtonWait wait08:45
CharlesBroughtonIf the font path wasn't working, then captcha should not have worked.08:45
CharlesBroughton$g_font_per_captcha= 'arial.ttf';  .... Captcha does in fact work, so that means the system is missing whatever specific font the grapher is looking for (atleast that is my conclusion).  What fonts does the MantisGraph plugin use?08:46
* CharlesBroughton facepalms08:48
nuclear_eclipsedhx_m: isn't support fun?12:59
dhx_mnuclear_eclipse: at least with open source there is no obligation :)12:59
nuclear_eclipsewhat I don't understand is why people find things on random sites, and then expect to get support from the main project on how it works...13:00
nuclear_eclipseif you found it there, ask for help there13:00
nuclear_eclipsethat's usually as far as I go with debout's crap13:00
dhx_mthe thing that annoys me is impatience... pinging everyone on the channel after waiting a whopping 2 minutes for an answer13:00
dhx_mand then getting angry when you don't get answers13:01
nuclear_eclipseyeah13:01
dhx_mhave you seen #12309 and #12312 ?13:03
dhx_mI was wondering what the joke? is with the NuSOAP variable naming13:03
nuclear_eclipseI've read the notifications13:03
nuclear_eclipseI assume it's a "donnie and marie osmond" joke13:03
nuclear_eclipseie, a popular variety show from about four decades ago13:04
dhx_mah no wonder I didn't get it :)13:04
nuclear_eclipsepopular *american* variety show...13:04
dhx_mdaryn: I NEED AN ANSWER NOW OR I AM LEAVING THIS CHANNEL! :p13:05
darynok13:05
darynno13:05
darynthat a good answer?13:05
dhx_moh no :)13:07
dhx_mdaryn: just joking about some of the demanding people we've had in here recently ;)13:07
nuclear_eclipseI tried to do it without gaining op access, but I was too lazy to read docs :P13:07
daryni figured13:07
nuclear_eclipseooh, I know what to do13:08
nuclear_eclipsetry complaining now dhx_m  :P13:08
nuclear_eclipseI totally would have done that if I would have been around earlier...13:09
nuclear_eclipsehi dhx_m :P13:10
dhx_mhah13:10
* nuclear_eclipse loves freenode's ircd13:10
dhx_mthat's a nice feature13:10
nuclear_eclipseI also love the fact that I can do just about everything without revealing that I'm a) an op for the channel, and b) that I'm even around13:11

CIA-100Mantisbt: daryn * r41075e5a7bad /core/filter_api.php: Fix Issue #12314 Plugin filter rows are broken when more than one row of plugin filters are used.19:49
nuclear_eclipsedaryn: should that be ported back to 1.2.x?19:58
darynmaybe?19:58
nuclear_eclipse:P19:58
nuclear_eclipseyou're the filters expert here :P19:58
darynthere is another issue that may be related to plugins19:58
darynthe error strings in trunk seem to be getting lost somewhere19:59
daryni dumped MANTIS_ERROR after lang_get('MANTIS_ERROR') in error api and it only had strings from one of my plugins20:00
darynany thoughts on that?20:00
nuclear_eclipsedaryn: probably paulr not completeing what he started again...20:00
nuclear_eclipsehe recently made some changes to the way lang strings are read in, so it wouldn't surprise me if he broke plugin errors at the same time20:00
darynok...that is a thought.  More specifically, any idea on how to fix it?  :)20:00
nuclear_eclipseie, the "new" way to write lang files is using an array of some sort20:01
nuclear_eclipsetry reverting his changes and see if that "fixes" the problem, or use `git bisect` to do the same20:01
CIA-100Mantisbt: daryn master-1.2.x * r2de04c7f72f2 /core/filter_api.php: Fix Issue #12314 Plugin filter rows are broken when more than one row of plugin filters are used.20:02
darynthere's your backport20:02
nuclear_eclipsewheee20:02
darynpaulr I know you're listening.  i don't have time to fix this error lang string thing!20:05
lrojashi all, i am trying to install the sourcecontrol plugin for mantis 1.2.220:16
lrojasbut i am a bit lost on how to handle plugins in mantis...20:16
lrojascan someone direct me to some info on the matter?20:17
lrojasplease, all i need is info on how to install plugins in the new mantis architecture, the documentation has no information whatsoever for that20:31
darynlrojas - in the developer docs http://docs.mantisbt.org/master/en/developers.html20:35
darynPlugin System20:36
lrojasok, so if i want a Plugin i just unpack it inside the plugins directory ?20:37
darynyes, then go to the manage plugins page and install20:38
lrojassorry to be dense, i am trying to install the source plugin, following instructions here: http://leetcode.net/blog/2009/01/integrating-git-svn-with-mantisbt/20:42
lrojasi went to the git.mantisforge.org but i cant find the SourceWebSVN referenced there20:43
darynit is in the source-integration.git repo20:44
lrojasok, thanks.. wish me luck20:45
darynyou got it.  and nuclear_eclipse is the guilty developer so you he has all the answers regarding source integration20:45
lrojasdaryn: sorry one more question...20:51
darynsure20:51
lrojasi unpacked the plugins inside the plugins directory, yet they dont appear in "available" plugins to install20:51
lrojaswhat am i doing wrong?20:52
darynhm...it's been awhile. just sec20:52
darynyou need the subdirectories in plugins/  not source-integration dir20:52
darynSource, SourceGithub, SourceWebSVN, etc. are the plugins20:53
lrojasok, i figured as much, but meta ( which is one of the requirements ) is not listed either and that is there...20:53
darynis the directory meta or Meta?20:54
lrojasmeta20:55
darynyea, same issue.  look in the meta dir for Meta and move it up20:55
lrojasdarn it :p thanks and sorry for my poor insight20:55
darynnp20:56
paulrdaryn / nuclear_eclipse: someone explain21:00
paulrwhat's broken?21:00
darynthe MANTIS_ERROR strings are not working21:00
paulrfullstop?21:00
paulror in plugins?21:00
darynfullstop21:00
darynno messages show up21:00
paulrer21:01
darynyou get the error box but the message isn't there21:01
* paulr looks21:01
darynso, i got an error from a plugin and dumped MANTIS_ERROR in error_api because it said an index wasn't found21:01
darynthe result was only error messages from one of my plugins. none of the mantis errors were in the list21:02
paulri've probably broken something21:02
daryni'm sure you have :)21:02
paulrdhx revied the code change in january21:02
paulr+we21:02
darynuh oh...finger pointing21:02
daryn:)21:02
paulrso this is outside of plugins too right?21:03
darynyes21:04
darynbut it may have something to do with how plugins handle error strings. not sure.21:05
paulrnah21:05
darynlang_get(MANTIS_ERROR) returned only error strings for 1 plugin.21:05
paulrI think I was going to put the error strings in the array too21:05
* paulr thinks21:05
paulranyway, simple problem21:06
paulrif it loads the array, it assumes everything was in array and load strings21:07
lrojasare SourceSVn and SourceWebSVN mutually exclusive or can they coexist?21:09
paulrdaryn / nuclear_eclipse: do we want to continue to treat error strings as normal strings?21:09
paulror seperate21:09
darynhm...i don't know paulr.   no opinion i guess21:10
paulrpaulr.   no opinion i guess21:10
paulroops21:10
darynlrojas i believe than can co-exist but i don't know for sure.21:10
paulr$t_lang_var = preg_replace( '/^s_/', '', $t_var );21:10
paulrin fact21:10
paulrI think we keep them seperate before21:11
* paulr goes to read error api21:11
paulr$MANTIS_ERROR = lang_get( 'MANTIS_ERROR' );21:12
paulr$t_error = $MANTIS_ERROR[$p_error];21:12
paulryea21:12
paulrso error strings should be part of language array now21:12
lrojasnuclear_eclipse: did SourceWebSVN lost the configuration pannel?21:13
lrojasfor some weird reason i cant configure the SourceWebSVN plugin21:16
paulrdaryn: fixed locally21:18
daryncool. now fix remotely21:20
darynwhat was the issue?21:20
paulrwell, need to think about plugins a sec ;p21:21
paulrthe point of doing the array was to not have to do get_defined_vars and regex over them21:21
paulrhowever, i'd left $MANTIS_ERROR in that format before21:21
paulr(which I think might have been half deliberate)21:21
paulrI've now just added it to the array, which fixes english21:22
paulrhowever, there's two cases I need to think about / deal with:21:22
paulra) if a language file defines some strings, but not ALL21:22
paulrb) if a plugin defines a new error21:22
paulras in those cases, we want to merge an array within an array21:22
paulr:)21:22
lrojasdaryn: sorry to keep pestering you... where can i find out what the diferent fields are expecting in the "Repositories" tab in mantis21:42
lrojasdaryn: i am kind of baffled by the options in SourceSVn and SourceWebSVN21:43
daryni believe there is a good tutorial somewhere...let me try to find the link21:43
darynhttp://www.unitz.com/u-notez/2009/10/subversion-svn-integration-mantisbt/21:46
darynlrojas give that a try.  a bit more detailed i think21:47
