Submit issue via external form?

[kablooie]

Hi,

So, my boss would like me to put up a web form from which users can submit issues, which would then be inserted into Mantis behind-the-scenes.

Are there any customizations to do this, besides Anonymantis? (I would rather not have to install Mantis Connect to use it, if there's a self-contained plugin instead... )

If you have done this, please let me know how. If you did use Anonymantis, was it a difficult or time-consuming setup?


Thanks!

Do you know that the webservice part of MantisConnect is now shipped out of the box with MantisBT? This can be found in the /api/soap folder.

I cannot locate any helpful instructions for using anonymantis. I placed the anonymantis folder into my "apache2/htdocs" directory and modified the config_default.inc.php.

I assumed I needed to go to http://mywebserver/anonymantis
I also tried http://mywebserver/anonymantis/display.inc.php

Everything gets and HTTP 500 error. Any help is appreciated I am using Mantis 1.2.6 which has Mantis Connect built into the "mantis/api/soap" directory I am assuming I am doing something wrong here.

Thank you!
Marc

I had a short look at anonymantis (I never used it, it's a 3rd party development which is not maintained by the MantisBT core developers)
The latest version of anonymantis is from 2006.
MantisBT 1.2.x started 2010.
You might get compatibility problems.

I know, this is no real help for you ....

I appreciate your attempt to help. Is there currently anyone out there who has successfully created a webform that can submit a bug to mantis through mantisconnect or some other method?

If there is any documentation on this that I would be able to get started with how to go about it, I can attempt to research and try to create something and if successful i will post back as I am sure it is something of use to someone else.

Thanks for the help!

If your external form could be an email, you simply can use the emailreporting plugin.

Yes, but then I run into the situation with custom fields. Until the new rules system is released in the dev version I am out of luck. By having an external form that basically has all the same fields of my bug reporting page, I can populate those fields automatically from the website it was opened from, I just need the issue to be submitted to mantis directly from this form.

I have developed an html page (form on php/mysql) that insert directly on database.
My script create closed tickets but it can be easily customized.

You can modify it / use it it can be a starting point.
