A simple plugin to enhance the usability of the default user interface of MantisBT.
- Better usability
- All labels inside the login and bugs overview pages are changed into clickable tags
- Faster entering of new issues
- Secondary (less important) fields for filing new issues are by default hidden, they can be shown with a new button.
- Optional description: when entering no description, the issue description is copied from the summary when saving.
- Optional category: when not selecting any category, the issue category is set to "General" when saving.
- More harmonic UI
- The options row in table based lists is moved topmost, so that toggeling the options does not cause itself to "jump" in the page
- Less Clutter: The default footer is reduced to the MantisBT logo and link.
- Easier DOM manipulation: "Anonymous" elements (without an id attribute) in the DOM of any MantisBT page are enhanced with a generic id.
The theme was created and tested with Mantis release 1.2.17
- Make sure the JQuery plugin for MantisBT is installed.
- Copy the directory "MantisUiEnhanced" into the "plugins" directory of your MantisBT installation.
- Activate the plugin in the Mantis backend under: Manage > Manage Plugins
