Extension talk:Bugzilla Reports

BugzillaReports is a wonderful extension that does exactly what it says on the tin, and does it really well! Our organization have been using this extension since its release and we find it invaluable. Nice one Ian!

ExtensionDistributor
Currently, Bugzilla Reports isn't listed in Special:ExtensionDistributor. Could it be added? --Catrope 16:48, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure, but I'm not sure how that list of extensions gets generated. Do you know if it's driven from the main MediaWiki SVN repository? --Ian Homer 21:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Using same bz db connection as mediawiki one
A bug was reported which threw the php exception (not a valid MySQL-Link resource) below. This occurred when you use the same bz db connection as the mediawiki one.

sql_real_escape_string: 41 is not a valid MySQL-Link resource

This has been fixed and will be released in v0.9.1 (coming very soon) --Ian Homer 08:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Bugzilla 3.2
Can someone confirm that this still works with bugzilla 3.2?

Yes, it still works with Bugzilla 3.2 [mailto:philippe.lambot@mil.be Philippe Lambot]

Time restriction
Is there a posibility to restrict the output to the Bugs changed within the last n days? --Joergens.mi 10:56, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Try "modified=-3d", e.g.

--Ian Homer 23:59, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Bug creation
Is there a way to get a report of all the bugs created by person X within the last N days?

-- DaveO 2/28/09


 * Not quite, but you can generate all bugs that were created by person X and which were modified in the last N days - .  Not the quite the same thing - although it will include all the bugs in that were created by person X within the last N days, but it may include others.  If you feel you need the report for "all bugs created by person X within the last N days" could you raise it @ http://code.google.com/p/bugzillareports/issues/list? --Ian Homer 18:38, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You can now do this in v1.1 (beta) - e.g. --Ian Homer 13:36, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Testopia
It would be nice to integrate this extension with the Bugzilla addon Testopia --189.128.39.211 19:12, 28 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds an interesting idea - bugzilla reports is now in google code @ http://code.google.com/p/bugzillareports/issues/list - could you raise this in that list and put a few more details around what you'd like to see.  If you have skills in this area, the source is all open and I'd welcome patches to cover new features like this --Ian Homer 20:26, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Writing number of returned bugs into the variable
Hello,

Is it possible to write the number of returned bugs (rows) to the variable, e.g. using #vardefine ? Then i'd like to use this variable in #expr.

Thanks


 * Yes, try the example below (you'll need to take v1.1 beta to get this to work) --Ian Homer 13:30, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
