RE: [Mantisbt-dev] Time tracking

[David E. <de...@vi...>]

We ended up writing a completely separate time tracker in PHP and MySQL
and then coding some hooks into Mantis. I'm hoping we'll be able to
submit our mechanism for hooking it to mantis to CVS if it proves a
generic enough way. Essentially what we have done is write a "plugin"
concept where a certain portion of the bug_view_page does an include on
any listed plugins. Then our plugin php file is nothing more than some
basic html code with an iframe embedded in it. This way our plugin does
not alter the submit logic for Mantis at all. So what we end up with in
our bug view page is an extra row that has time tracker related stuff
for stopping and starting time related to the current bug. This allowed
us to integrate our time system without really changing mantis submit
code at all.

I'm not sure if we're going to open source the time tracking system
itself since it is completely detached from mantis, but we'll certainly
try to submit the way we opened bug view up for visual plugins. If we do
open source the time tracking system I'll announce it here.

Thanks,
David

Hi all,

I've read in the archive of this mailing list about approaches to
include time tracking into mantis (Threads: 'Time patch' from Philippe
Guay 2004-05-27 and 'Time Tracking add-on?' from David Ethell
2004-09-08). I'm very interested in these add-ons/patches. So my
question is, where can I get them from? Or is there already a solution
in the cvs? I also would like to work on this task if this is possible
and desired.

Regards

Jonas Ritter
