Hi! First of all, I'm sorry for the cross-posting, but I was not sure where exactly to send my doubt. I would like to know where should I look for information about the time tracking features already available in Mantis, as the one mentioned in the issue 4428 (http://bugs.mantisbt.org/view.php?id=4428), and how to use them. Thanks for the help! Jeferson Oliveira Brazil |

Check out the Mantis forums: <forums.mantisbugtracker.com> There is are a couple of (mostly) active threads on this topic. |

Hi Mark! I found this thread about a time tracker add-on: http://forums.mantisbugtracker.com/viewtopic.php?t=589&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0&sid=11201dc3d61c6fe5d3e2cb6fa1a11104. I've just download the project and it seems to be very useful to measure the cost of a bug resolution and related information. Neverthless, after a better undertanding of what I really need, I have concluded that it is beyond the Mantis purposes. So I started to study the dotProject tool (http://www.dotproject.net) that appears to be a good management open source software, specially considering the possibility of a Mantis integration. Thank you so much for your reply. Jeferson Oliveira Brazil |

Glad you found the links, Jeferson. I too have only recently become aware of dotProject, and I plan to look into it. Please feel free to share your experiences; I would love to hear from you. - Mark |

We've been using dotProject for about two years now. There are a few kinks, but on the whole it's pretty good and does everything we need.

Hi Jeff! It's good to hear from you your experience with dotProject. I hope I can deal with its kinks. :-) The integration with Mantis has satisfied your expectations as well? Jeferson Oliveira Brazil |

We use mantis seperately. We thought about integration, but it really wasn't that big of deal for us. For others I'm sure it would be different. Basically we took the approach that if a change request was big enough then we would add it to dot project and then reference the mantis entry. DP has been a really good tool for when we've had contractors in here helping out, that's for sure.

Also, what plaform do you run for dotProject. I would be interested in hearing from others who have integrated the two products. - Mophilly |

On the version we run, 2.04, sometimes the start and end times for tasks get reset. Dynamic tasks work 99.5% of the time. Every now and then we get one that won't update. Not sure why, but so few we never cared to figure it out. If you're logging time and you forget to save it before switching pages you lose your time. That one is a PIA. Using tabbed browsing helps, but it still happens. I'd like to see some sort of realtime updates to the db so this doesn't happen. Every now and then you get logged out of dp, but it doesn't show you as logged out. You update a task and THEN you're shown as logged off and have to reenter the task. These are little annoyances, nothing more really.

Last time I checked it (that's been a while), I found the permission system difficult to set up, and it seemed that it didn't work well enough to for example let a client have access and see their projects/tasks without seeing anything internal or related to other clients. (Similar for contractors.) Did you manage to get something like this working? Gerhard |

Permissions are a lot better now than they were originally. You can setup roles or you can grant permissions by section.
