This plugin allows to assign tasks to other authorised handlers within the current project. Every tasks has : Handler Creation date (automatic) Change date (automatic) Due date (to be set once) Finished date (to be set by authorised person) Title ( 50 characters ) Description ( 250 characters ) Response ( 250 characters ) Once a task has been reported complete, it can only be deleted by authorised staff. Maintenance is no longer possible. Upon adding a task, the person you assign it to wil receive an email in case plugin is configured to do. Equally from every change, History records can be created in case plugin is configured to do.
If configured accordingly the system will verify if all tasks for this issue have been finished.
One can also setup auto tasks per project/category. This means that whenever an issue is reported with the defined project/category, the system automatically will assign various tasks to predefined users. The due date will be the date of reporting plus a defined number of working days.
Default the overview with tasks is presented where the event_hook 'EVENT_VIEW_BUG_EXTRA' is positioned. If you like to have it on top of the page, simply change the following line in tasks.php: plugin_event_hook( 'EVENT_VIEW_BUG_EXTRA', 'tasks_form1' ); into plugin_event_hook( 'EVENT_VIEW_BUG_DETAILS', 'tasks_form1' );
In case you would like to have it just below the details, replace the following line in tasks.php: plugin_event_hook( 'EVENT_VIEW_BUG_EXTRA', 'tasks_form1' ); with event_declare('EVENT_VIEW_BUG_DETAILS2'); plugin_event_hook( 'EVENT_VIEW_BUG_DETAILS2', 'tasks_form1' );
In that case, you need to position the following line somewhere in bug_view_inc.php. Search the line holding "# User list monitoring the bug" around line 686 and add the following line just before: event_signal( 'EVENT_VIEW_BUG_DETAILS2', array( $f_issue_id ) );
- Installation *
Add the following line in config_inc.php: $g_tasks_show_menu = OFF; In OFF position, Open tasks are shown under My View Do ensure to define a signal in my_view_page.php. Then add the following line right after "layout_page_begin( FILE ); " event_signal( 'EVENT_MYVIEW' ); In ON position, a menu item will appear named "My tasks".
In addition we need to add a signal in core/bug_api.php in case we want to check tasks upon resolving Find function bug_resolve and add the following line: event_signal( 'EVENT_RESOLVE_BUG', $p_bug_id ); just before : # Add bugnote if supplied
In addition we need to add a signal in core/bug_api.php in case we want to check tasks upon closing Find function bug_close and add the following line: event_signal( 'EVENT_CLOSE_BUG', $p_bug_id ); just before : # Add bugnote if supplied
The rest is like any other plugin. After copying to your webserver :
- Start mantis ad administrator
- Select manage
- Select manage Plugins
- Select Install behind Tasks 2.20
- Once installed, click on the plugin-name for further configuration.
In case for whatever reason tables are not created automatically, use the supplies Tasks.sql file to create these manually.
