This is the place to note ideas about the future of bugbits.
A couple of things that should be done next (i think, based on the gallery module):

  • Implement the test page to check database settings and if the soap api is available.
  • Create the user synchronization
  • Make a menu that can be displayed in the left bar
  • Create some blocks that show the latest bugs, your bugs, ...

Test page partially implemented
First on the agenda now: user sync

What about "through" search between mantis and drupal? More interesting integrate search for mantis issues in drupal.

I just looked at the code, it looks good. I would install today but I am still running version 5 on my site. FYI: for our users it does not matter if mantis is visible within the Drupal layout, we would be fine with Mantis opening in a new window/tab.

I was curious about "user sync". why is it needed? I am assuming that this module will alter your mantis database:
--> if a Drupal user is deleted who has a mantis login
--> if a Drupal user changes password
--> if Drupal user who has not accessed mantis does it for the first time...

It would not be that useful if the module copied our entire Drupal db to mantis -- as the drupal db contains lots of dead users and spambot users...

Just trying to gain a bit of info befor investing time in this and/or recommending it to others.

It will not be a simply copy to the mantis database, because you could overwrite existing accounts. Instead we would keep track of the accounts that have a linked mantis account. Those that haven't got a mantis account should be able to create one. Those that have an account on mantis when bugbits is installed should be able to link it.
Trust me, we will keep the overhead to a minimum :)

Hello!
Don't know if this module is still in development, but I created a small module for my website that displays a block with the latest mantis bugs. I attached a file with the block function so if you want to add it to bugbits, feel free (of course, the database name, user and passwords have to be set to the one used by bugbits...).

regards
jb

The module is still under development, but I haven't had a lot of time to work on it in the recent months. We're working on the user sync now, and when that is finished we'll release a first official version (we'll try to include your code as well)
Thanks for the contribution!

What's the status on the first release?

working on it, we have to do it on our spare time and I myself have a lot of other work (extra hours on my regular jobs, making drupal websites, ...)
I hope to release the first full blown version by the end of september.
