istvanhi there12:27
istvanI am looking for some help12:27
istvanso how can I turn on the DOCS tab in Mantis12:27
istvanand how can I install plugins? (i know the admin page, but where can I fing new ones?)12:28
nuclear_eclipseistvan: http://git.mantisforge.org12:28
istvanso right now I am on this page: http://git.mantisforge.org/w/automonitor.git12:33
istvanbut whats next?12:33
*** Quits: mellen (~thansen@x1-6-00-22-02-00-0c-40.k253.webspeed.dk) (Ping timeout: 265 seconds)12:33
nuclear_eclipseistvan: either use git to clone the repository, or download a snapshot of the latest revision, and extract the plugin into your mantisbt/plugins/ directory, then go to the admin interface to install it12:34
istvansweet! Thank it works now!!!12:38
istvanDo you know the answer to my first question?12:38
nuclear_eclipsethere's probably a configuration option that you can override from config_defaults_inc.php that you can set in your config_inc.php to enable it12:40
istvanoh ok, I will check it out. I have several other questions, so just let me know when you are bored:)12:46
istvanany option to configure the email subject?12:46
nuclear_eclipseno12:46
istvan:(12:46
istvanplugin for that?12:46
nuclear_eclipseno12:46
istvanoption to config the content of the email?12:47
nuclear_eclipseno, emails in general are rather unforgiving if you don't like them.. .=\12:47
nuclear_eclipsethat will hopefully change in a future version though12:48
istvanok. Is there a way for the reporter to add a "target date", or "due date" to the issue?12:48
nuclear_eclipseyes, the due date field is disabled by default because it's still rough, but it's available12:52
istvanis there a way for the reporter to define the Monitor list?12:53
nuclear_eclipseyou can configure the thesholds for who can add who to the monitor list, but there's no way to limit it to just the reporter12:54
istvanI see now it is in the config default inc12:57
istvanon the due date what you mean on "rough"?12:57
nuclear_eclipseit's incomplete and slightly buggy in certain cases12:58
istvanI see12:58
istvanyou are such a useful source of information man! Thanks a lot! I have found the doc tab option in the default php13:02
istvan$g_enable_project_documentation13:02
istvanI started to deal with Mantis 2 weeks ago, but I am quite amazed about its capabilities!13:03
nuclear_eclipseyou're welcome, and glad you're liking it :)13:07
istvanare an insider of the mantis project?13:08
nuclear_eclipseyeah, I'm one of the developers13:09
istvanwow!13:10
*** Quits: chris38` (~chris38@bayle.eu) (Quit: Coyote finally caught me)13:12
istvanI work for a small RF company and the SW team has almost no processes at all. I decided to give Mantis a try since my brother-in-law uses it a lot (they have an SW company). There are some resitance coming from the IT but I am kind confident that I will be able to push them hard13:15
istvanand then implement Mantis as an experimental process13:16
istvanonce we done that I am sure everybody will be crazy about it to implement it everywhere :)13:16
lhavelundHey guys -- I was wondering how I can customise the report template? I'm using mantisdb as a general to-do and management tool for myself and a group of friends. It seems great so far, but I'd like to turn stuff like platform, etc. off.13:26
nuclear_eclipselhavelund: there's some configuration options in config_defaults_inc.php that control what fields are visible on what pages13:27
nuclear_eclipselhavelund: just copy those configuration options to your config_inc.php to override the values to what you want13:27
lhavelundnuclear_eclipse: sweet, thanks13:28
lhavelund:)(13:28
istvanAnother question: on the view issues page Hide status shows @90@ and above. Why is that? (I have made a custom workflow with custom names)13:28
nuclear_eclipseistvan: that's what happens when a value in the database has no string name associated with that value13:29
istvanif I click to that, the roll down menu shows the proper values and no @90@13:29
istvanok13:29
istvanso how can I get rid of this?13:29
nuclear_eclipseie, if you changed $s_status_enum_string to remove the "90:closed" portion, then it doesn't know what to display for the existing status value of 90 in the database13:29
istvanoh ok! How can I solve this?13:30
nuclear_eclipseyou should be overriding $s_status_enum_string in your custom_strings_inc.php file, and add the "90:whatever" value there13:30
nuclear_eclipseuse lang/strings_english.txt's value as a starting point13:31
istvan$s_status_enum_string =        '10:Submitted, 20:Assigned, 30:In work, 40:In review, 50:Implementation, 60:Verification, 70:Closed, 80:Rejected, 90:Canceled';13:33
istvanthis is my custom strings13:33
istvan$g_status_enum_string =        '10:Submitted, 20:Assigned, 30:In work, 40:In review, 70:Closed, 80:Rejected';13:34
istvanand this is the config inc13:34
nuclear_eclipsehmm13:35
nuclear_eclipsethen I'm not sure13:35
nuclear_eclipseyou could try adding 90:cancelled to the config inc version, and see if the @90@ goes away, and then use the worflow management to make sure you can't change anything to status 9 0in the future...13:36
istvanYes! You are right again13:38
istvanthe last question about this: Why it says "closed and above" instead of "closed and below"?13:38
nuclear_eclipsebecause it's *hiding* closed and above, and *showing* resolved and below..13:39
nuclear_eclipseit's an odd filter setup13:39
istvanoh13:40
istvanmy bad13:40
istvanit clearly says "hide status" so it makes sense13:40

istvando you guys have any theme repo?13:48
nuclear_eclipseno13:48
nuclear_eclipsetheming is something that mantis still lacks support for13:48
istvanany recommendation where can I check different themes?13:48
istvanoh13:48
nuclear_eclipsethe only real "theme" support is changes to the existing CSS stylesheet13:49
istvanI saw some custom Mantis implementations13:49
nuclear_eclipseand afaik, nobody has released anything like that for public consumption13:49
istvanoh13:49
istvanI see13:49

istvanI bet. Unfortunately I have know knowledge in php at all :( I develop industrial apps14:03
nuclear_eclipsewell, we need help on more than just code :)14:03
nuclear_eclipsetechnical writers are in dire need14:04
nuclear_eclipsewould be great to have contributers who could work on new documentation for the mantis and its latest features, etc14:04
lhavelundI'm reading the manual for mantis right, now but for the life of me, I can't really find out how to limit what fields are shown on the 'Report Issue' page. Any help?14:08
nuclear_eclipselhavelund: first, the manual is too old to really tell you about that14:08
lhavelundah14:08
nuclear_eclipselhavelund: search for $g_bug_report_page_fields14:09
nuclear_eclipsethere's a few others that follow that that all define the fields to show on various pages14:09
lhavelundsweet14:10
lhavelundI found it in the example config14:10
lhavelundthanks a ton, nuclear_eclipse14:10
nuclear_eclipseyou're welcome14:10
lhavelundThat worked perfectly.14:11
lhavelundMuch <3 for you :)14:11
* lhavelund slides nuclear_eclipse a coffee.14:11
* nuclear_eclipse spikes the coffee with gratuitous amounts of alcohol :P14:11
lhavelundGood plan.14:12
lhavelundOne more thing -- how can I add the project to the report page?14:12
lhavelundWhat key do I need to input14:12
nuclear_eclipseyou can't14:13
lhavelundoh.14:13
lhavelundso... how can I distinguish between projects?14:13
nuclear_eclipsethe user selects the project from the standard project selection list at the top14:13
lhavelundah, right14:13
istvanback to your thought: I am very beginner in Mantis, and my english is kinda crappy. But later on if we implemented Mantis (which means I have to be the admin) I definitely would consider to give you guys a helping hand14:17
istvanhowever my resources are very limited since I am full time employee14:18
lhavelundAh, the beauty of open source projects. <314:18
nuclear_eclipseistvan: all our dews are limited like that :)14:18
istvaneverybody has different possibilities. But again if I gain experience with Mantis I think we can work out!14:21

paulrnuclear_eclipse: moo?18:24
nuclear_eclipsehi paulr 18:25
paulryou still prefer repo.or.cx stuff over gitoris righT?18:26
nuclear_eclipsethey both have things I don't like about them...18:26
paulrtable? :P18:27
nuclear_eclipseI think these days I might actually prefer gitorious though18:27
paulrwhat language is gitorious in ?18:28
nuclear_eclipsemainly just because gitorious (imo) has a better workflow for handling multiple repos -- but I don't like the fact that gitorious is obnoxious about making it difficult to actually get at a project/repo's source code18:28
nuclear_eclipsegitorious is in ruby I think18:28
paulr'about making it difficult to actually get at a project/repo's source code' oh?18:29
paulrhttp://gitorious.org/gitorious18:29
paulrisn't it at the top of each paage/18:29
nuclear_eclipsean "activity stream" is not what I consider useful information18:29
nuclear_eclipseit makes the clone URL obvious, but makes it much less obvious to browse the repo code from the main page18:30
nuclear_eclipsealthough I do think their page layout is better than what they used to have...18:31
paulrwhats ruby compre to as a language?18:31
nuclear_eclipseruby is basically "Perl meets Python with Lisp concepts"18:32
paulreasy to pick up?18:32
nuclear_eclipseeg, Ruby follows the same ideals of Perl, but mixes in readability, and a lot of functional programming concepts18:33
nuclear_eclipseyes and no18:33
nuclear_eclipseit's easy to read, but depending on what concepts the author is using, Ruby can be very unobvious to the casual reader18:33
nuclear_eclipseie, calling a function can be done as "object.func()" or "object func args..."18:34
nuclear_eclipseruby also has "blocks" which is basically a combination of defining a lambda function and passing that function as an argument to another function that just calls that block18:35
nuclear_eclipseeg, you can do:18:35
nuclear_eclipselist.each do |arg1|18:35
nuclear_eclipse    print arg118:35
nuclear_eclipseend18:35
paulrGitolite is an access control layer on top of git, which allows access control down to the branch level, including specifying who can and cannot *rewind* a given branch, and many (many!) more powerful features. For a good overview, plus links to online docs18:36
nuclear_eclipseand that will interate through the list, passing the value to the block each time18:36
paulrgitolite is somewhat unusual as far as "server" software goes -- every userid on the server is a potential "gitolite host".18:36
paulrgitolite depends heavily on ssh pubkey (passwordless) acces18:36
paulrthat sounds like a mess18:36
nuclear_eclipsepaulr: I do like that gitorious actually keeps track of logins, rather than needing to define admin passwords or having to explicitly add your user id to your own repos...18:39
nuclear_eclipsebut gitorious also bugs me that it keeps track of "mainline" as some special branch/repo for a project18:40
* paulr remembers it's bedtime18:43
paulralthough most projects to be fair do tend to have a defined 'trunk'18:47
