[Mantisbt-dev] Patch to hide fields

[Patrice L. <man...@pt...>]

Hi!

    Using Mantis as a generic tracking tool (in my case, instead of
    tracking bugs, I use it to dispatch non-computer support requests to
    different persons and then I can get activity reports...), I found
    the flexibility of the tool awesome.  I used almost exclusively
    Bugzilla before, but be sure next time I need a bugtracker, Mantis
    will by ontop of my list :)

    So this first part of this message is to congratulate all developers
    for such a great tool.

    Needing to hide some irrelevant fields for my needs, I wrote this
    patch which basically adds 4 parameters to the configfile, making it
    easy to hide fields known as "reproducibility", "severity",
    "priority" and "category".

    All this patch does is hide the fields from the user view; nothing
    in the DB schema is changed, nothing in the code logic changes.  I
    had to reorder the fields on 2 or 3 forms so that if some or all of
    the 4 fields are hidden it doesn't look like hell.  But that's all.

    This is to be applied on Mantis-1.0.0a2 - I hope I'm not too late!
