I was surprised to receive a support request last week for the Mantis State Plugin. Given that the thing wouldn’t allow itself to be uninstalled, I figured it was time to release an update.
Version 0.0.4 includes clearer severity output, issue details on mouseover, and an attempt to better visualize date ranges within the state matrix.
Oh, and it can now be uninstalled.
Looks like the Hashcash guy recently assimilated functionality from Software Guide’s Simple Trackback Validation into the 4.1 version of Hashcash. I wrote about these two plugins last summer.
Now it looks like you’ll only need karma of the one to enjoy a spam-free blogging lifestyle.
Om.
For the longest time now I’ve wanted a view in Mantis that could show me, at a glance, what’s receiving attention and what’s falling through the cracks.
Vincent Debout has recently released an excellent plugin manager for Mantis; so I’ve attempted to whip something up. The Mantis State plugin contains a matrix view listing out issues in left-to-right, top-to-bottom in order of last update. Font size indicates priority. Blinking issues are severe.
Right now this probably works well for smaller projects, but could get difficult to view with a large number of issues. Would be nice if Mantis’ current filtering system could plug into this.
You can see from this sample view that one of our projects has a number of items reported sometime back that are not getting looked at. Oops.
If you’d like to test it out, feel free to download an early alpha version here: Mantis State Plugin (6.21 KB)
Includes some simple Japanese localization.
Update: Recieved a request last week to update the broken uninstaller. Link above updated as of September 2008.
