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.

Betreff: [mantisbt-help] No Advanced View In 1.2.0
Gesendet: Mo, 22. Mrz 2010
Von: Fetzik, John

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?
