Re: No Advanced View In 1.2.0

Thanks for the assist.

This is not a good thing. What is particularly bad is that the web site still points it out as a feature and the 1.2.x documentation specifically calls it out and I used this information on the web site to make the decision to do the upgrade.

You may ask why no one noticed during testing? The reason is that we are a small team with only 5-6 users and were at a point in our projects that the advanced view was not being used. Thus we missed it. Now that we have moved on to a different stage in development

Am I correct in assuming that the All Available Columns section of Manage Columns in My Account is supposed to list all the columns? If so it looks like ETA from the old Advanced view is missing.

I have copied the contents of All Available Columns to View Issues Columns under My Account, but it does not seem to change the view at all. Is there something else that needs to be set, possibly at the admin level, for Manage Columns to work?


One comment about this method is that it is not user friendly because the column names do not match the field names shown by Mantis. For example which field does the column version equate to, Product Version, Target Version, OS Version, etc.? I guess you just have to play around and see what happens. This is particularly bad for non-technical users that want to change what they see and my users are not really all that technical.

This feature is not longer available in 1.2
have a look at page [My account] -> [Mange columns] and as administrator at
[Manage] -> [Manage configuration] -> [Manage columns]
for the new column features

Hello,

I upgraded our Mantis install to 1.2.0 a couple weeks ago and only just now noticed that we can not switch between Simple and Advanced views for viewing, reporting or updating issues. I have added the following lines to config_inc.php, but it makes no difference.

 $g_show_report   = BOTH;
 $g_show_update   = BOTH;
 $g_show_view   = BOTH;

I did notice that these values are not in config_defaults_inc.php for version 1.2.0, but are there for version 1.1.1.

Has this feature been removed or has the way you switch between Simple and Advanced changed?
