Customizing Status Values

The default is no workflow, where all states are accessible from any others. The following example can be transferred to config_inc.php. The workflow needs to have a path from the statuses greater than or equal to the resolved state back to the feedback state. Otherwise, the re-open operation won't work.

$g_status_enum_workflow[NEW_]=
                '10:new,20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confirmed,50:assigned,80:resolved';
                $g_status_enum_workflow[FEEDBACK] =
                '10:new,20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confirmed,50:assigned,80:resolved';
                $g_status_enum_workflow[ACKNOWLEDGED] =
                '20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confirmed,50:assigned,80:resolved';
                $g_status_enum_workflow[CONFIRMED] =
                '20:feedback,40:confirmed,50:assigned,80:resolved';
                $g_status_enum_workflow[ASSIGNED] =
                '20:feedback,50:assigned,80:resolved,90:closed';
                $g_status_enum_workflow[RESOLVED] =
                '50:assigned,80:resolved,90:closed';
                $g_status_enum_workflow[CLOSED] = '50:assigned';
            

To add a status:

  1. Define a constant to map the new status to.In a new file custom_constant_inc.php in the main mantisbt directory:

    <?php define ( 'TEST', 60 ); ?>

  2. Define the language strings required. This may need to be defined in several languages.In a new file custom_strings_inc.php in the main mantisbt directory:

    <?php if ( lang_get_current() == 'german' ) {
                                $s_status_enum_string =
                                '10:neu,20:R�ckmeldung,30:anerkannt,40:best‰tigt,50:zugewiesen,
                                60:zu testen,80:behoben,90:geschlossen'; } else {
                                $s_status_enum_string =
                                '10:new,20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confirmed,50:assigned, 60:to
                                be tested,80:resolved,90:closed'; $s_to_be_tested_bug_button =
                                "Issue Ready to Test"; $s_to_be_tested_bug_title = "Set Issue Ready
                                to Test"; $s_email_notification_title_for_status_bug_to_be_tested =
                                "The following issue is ready TO BE TESTED."; } ?>
                            

  3. Define any configurations required.In the existing file config_inc.php in the main mantisbt directory:

    $g_status_enum_string =
                                '10:new,20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confirmed,50:assigned, 60:to
                                be tested,80:resolved,90:closed'; # Status color additions
                                $g_status_colors['to be tested'] = '#ACE7AE';
                            

  4. Add the status to any workflow defined.In config_inc.php:

    $g_status_enum_workflow[NEW_]=
                                '10:new,20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confirmed,50:assigned,60:to
                                be tested'; $g_status_enum_workflow[FEEDBACK] =
                                '10:new,20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confirmed,50:assigned,60:to
                                be tested'; $g_status_enum_workflow[ACKNOWLEDGED] =
                                '20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confi rmed,50:assigned,60:to be
                                tested'; $g_status_enum_workflow[CONFIRMED] =
                                '20:feedback,40:confirmed,50:assigned,60:to be tested';
                                $g_status_enum_workflow[ASSIGNED] = '20:feedback,50:assigned,60:to
                                be tested,90:closed'; $g_status_enum_workflow[TEST] =
                                '10:new,20:feedback,50:assigned,60:to be
                                tested,80:resolved,90:closed'; $g_status_enum_workflow[RESOLVED] =
                                '50:assigned,60:to be tested,80:resolved,90:closed';
                                $g_status_enum_workflow[CLOSED] = '50:assigned,90:closed';
