Hi everyone, We use mantis regulary for tracking all the little problems of our customers and since we use it we had a nice productivity boost. So first I would like to thank you all for this great tool. One thing that lack in mantis and that we wanted to see implanted is time traking. Some of our customers buy time bank and we have to manage that in an extern spread sheet. We implanted a simple and none intrusive patch that allows us to do this in mantis. Everything is pretty well documented and we would like to see it included in the official releases if you think it's ok. Any comments are welcome and if any change are necessery don't hesited to ask.

Great - I'll give this a try - Which table do we add the field to? I was thinking about a due-date function - have you thought of that? Don't want to re-invent the wheel, and if you are already working on it... It would be nice to be able to give tasks a due date, so you could sort them, adjust your priorities - eh? I had previously posted a message about additions I'd made to the "Real Name" functionality (allowing people to be known by a real name field - not their user name) and I also extended this to make the username their email address - instead of a separate field. Would love some feed back on these ideas, but this seems to be a REAL quiet list... should I just post the patches as you have and hope someone replies? I'm new to this project ;-) Thanks. m/ > -----Original Message----- > From: man...@li... > [mailto:man...@li...]On Behalf Of Philippe > Guay > Sent: Thursday, May 27, 2004 9:08 AM > To: man...@li... > Subject: [Mantisbt-dev] Time patch > > > Hi everyone, > > We use mantis regulary for tracking all the little problems of our > customers and since we use it we had a nice productivity boost.

Hi , Sorry for the time it tooked to answer, last couple of days have been busy. A due-date function could be great because, sometimes we forget some low-priority bugs because of more urgent issues so this could definetely help. This would give a better control over priorities. On the practical side, I wonder how our client (the one who submit the bugs) would use that since everything is always for yesterday and they often don't see the complexity behind what looks like simple tasks. We are not developping anything like that right now but if you do I would suggest that the project manager could correct the date or even better put a 'release/expected' date beside the due-date suggested by the submitter. As for the table structure here is the modification you need to apply so your db is compatible with our patch. We should had wrote that in the README sorry. ALTER TABLE mantis_bugnote_table ADD time_elapsed INT(5) NULL DEFAULT NULL; As for your idea/patch , we are also new to the mantis devel list but what I saw in the past years from open source, if you want something done you better do it yourself (!), otherwise you can wait a long time :) I would suggest you do the same cause I haven't seen any places to submit bugfix/add-ons to the cvs if you don't have commit access. If you miss anything just ask, we would really like that this small mod become part of mantis. have a nice day Philippe Mitch (WebCob) wrote: >Great - I'll give this a try - Which table do we add the field to? > >I was thinking about a due-date function - have you thought of that?

Philippe, There is already a ETA field which can be used to set to due date. > As for the table structure here is the modification you need to apply so > your db is compatible with our patch. We should had wrote that in the > README sorry. Your patch is useful for us too, thanks for contributing. Just a little request: do you think we could have a "sort by" worked time somewhere? (summary page?). Having the total worked time of each user on each project is already very useful, but a detail of time taken by each bug solved could help quality insurance of bug tracking/solving. > :) I would suggest you do the same cause I haven't seen any places to > submit bugfix/add-ons to the cvs if you don't have commit access. Maybe we need an additional config parameter to activate this "time spent on bug" feature or to inactivate it in case time tracking has no importance for some users. Any comment from the commiters? gb |

Hey Philippe... I just applied the patches... don't see information in the "Time Elapsed" on the main screen looks good... but "Time Elapsed Summaries" is blank. Am I doing something wrong? I closed the bugs with time on them (just in case that was a factor) still a blank report. Could it be something to do with date format? What controls who appears on the top row? Thanks! m/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Philippe Guay [mailto:phi...@2s...] > Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 11:20 AM > To: man...@li... > Cc: mi...@we... > Subject: Re: [Mantisbt-dev] Time patch > > > Hi , > > Sorry for the time it tooked to answer, last couple of days have > been busy. > > A due-date function could be great because, sometimes we forget some > low-priority bugs because of more urgent issues so this could definetely > help.
