 * length of summary text
 * date format
 * specify tickets by
 * bugid
 * status
 * severity
 * category
 * project
 * username
 * version (range filtering supported)
 * target_version (range filtering supported)
 * fixed_in_version (range filtering supported)
 * resolution
 * sort by multiple columns with individual sort order
 * show only certain columns
 * limit the output
 * suppress error and informational messages
 * change header names for columns
 * change the alignment of columns
 * add comments to tickets

Installation
This extension is for Mantis databases running on MySQL.


 * Grab the code via git:
 * Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php:
 * ✅ – Navigate to "Special:Version" on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

Konfiguration
By default the following options are set by this extension:

You may change each one of these parameters by including it with your specified value into your  below the initialization of this extension.

Set  to the root of the Mantis web page, e.g.. If you don't set it or leave it empty, the Id field will not have a link to the Mantis ticket.

If you have customized or added additional fields to your MantisBT environment, you should change the last 5 parameters accordingly. The correct strings can be found in the file   in your Mantis directory.

Performance Considerations
Some of the filters use columns for which no corresponding indexes exist in the Mantis database. The same is true for columns that can be used in  to sort the output.

If you experience performance issues, please talk to your Mantis database admin. In most cases performance should not be an issue, unless you have millions of bugs in your Mantis database, in which case you should consider to scrap your product anyway. &#x1F60F;
