Usage
The IssueTracker extension provides a custom tag,, that allows the inclusion of an issue tracker in any wiki page. It's possible to customize almost every aspect of the extension, such as permissions, user groups, colours, titles, and templates. It supports searching and several types of filtering.

To embed an issue tracker into a page, use the tag:

If a project name is not provided, the extension will use the page namespace as the default project name. You can create multiple issue trackers by providing different project names, for example:



To hide the filter and search forms you can set the search and filter options to false:



By default, users must be logged in to add, edit or achieve issues. If you want to allow anonymous issue management, set the authenticate option to false:



Options

 * project = String : The project name (default: page namespace).
 * authenticate = Boolean : User authentication (default: true).
 * search = Boolean : Display search form (default: true).
 * filter = Boolean : Display filter form (default: true).

Requirements
The IssueTracker extension requires MediaWiki 1.9.0 or greater.

Archive File
Available formats: zip | tar.gz

Subversion Repository
Use SVN to checkout a copy of the source code. I highly recommend you to get the trunk version of the extension until a stable version is released. I do what I can to ensure that SVN versions are build-able and run-able, but clearly beta versions in SVN should not be considered stable.

Check out the current development trunk with:

$ svn checkout http://svn.phpimpact.com/repo/IssueTracker/

Installation
1. Copy the IssueTracker/ directory into the extensions folder of your MediaWiki installation. Note: Make sure that the extensions/ directory and the IssueTracker/ directory are both readable and executable by everyone.

2. Add the following line to the LocalSettings.php file:

3. Create the database table, executing the following script on your MySQL administration tool:

Customization
Customization options are available and can be set in the IssueTracker.config.php file.

Issue Types

You can add as many issue types as you want, for example:

Issue Status
