Summary | 0003380: E-mail notification on editing bugnotes and adding files | ||||
Description | I would like e-mail notification on editing bugnotes and adding files. | ||||
Additional Information | This seems rather simple to add, which makes me wonder why it is not available. Maybe I'm missing the point why it is not available? | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
Notifications when adding files makes sense. However, I am not sure email notifications upon editing notes makes sense. Typically notes should be edited only to fix types, otherwise, people typically add new notes. This is similar to what happens in forums. In phpBB for example, there are no email notifications send when a post is edited. |
|
Why not make it possible and let people deside for them selves. It is configurable anyway what you want to receive. Now it is not possible even if people want it. |
|
We use only one note to be honest. just tag our lines with names instead of creating new notes. i'm used to work like that from other systems. Even though one is not meant to use mantis like that =) So if this could be a setting user himself turns on or off, it would be great for us. |
|
We use Mantis in the same manner as AbsolutelyFreeWeb so that solving this issue would be nice. |
|
Suggest you create a plugin to incorporate that function, should not be too difficult. |
|
@cas, I don't see this as a separate plugin, although email notifications in general may become a plugin. I can see the argument of making it configurable. We can add a notification for attaching files and the possibility via configuration of having a bugnote change trigger bug updated notification. I really suggest that you use separate notes for separate comments, it is a much better way of using MantisBT. |
|
We do not need notifications of editing of notes since we see that as a corrective action. New info would be a new note, |
|
To be Honest I have to tell that now we use Mantis in the way it is thought by the programmers:
And "what a wonder" now it makes sense to be not notified by changing a note. |
