MantisBT plugin

To ensure a similar functionality as the reporter-bugzilla it is necessary to create two plugins to the MantisBT:

1. Add required fields (abrt_hash and URL)
2. Add SOAP API method for searching within MantisBT issues by specified parameters

Ad 1

This MantisBT plugin should add two new field that are necessary to ensure proper functionality of reporter-mantisbt. The plugin must allow adding another fields.

Ad 2

This MantisBT plugin adds SOAP API method. In the case the plugin 1 is not installed the search method provides searching through all the standard MantisBT's fields. In the case the plugin 1 is installed it is possible to search also by those added custom fields.

Conclusion

Ad 1

The required fields can be added as Custom fields by administrator through MantisBT GUI see:

• http://www.mantisbt.org/manual/admin.customize.html

Ad 2

It is not possible to add a new SOAP API method as MantisBT plugin (http://www.mantisbt.org/wiki/doku.php/mantisbt:soap_and_plugins), so we are negotiating with MantisBT developers to find some possibility to add this method to MantisBT:

• http://sourceforge.net/p/mantisbt/mailman/message/33125916/

It has been created Pull request to MantisBT which ships this "plugin" (merged):
