permanent link to kanban board + filter

Is there any option to have permanent link to kanban board + filter?

cgaspard commented 10 years ago

Can you please clarify your question. Where would you like a link, and what should it point to?

todace commented 10 years ago

Hi! I have several projects on Mantis and several filters. It would be nice if I'd be able to send a link to specific project+filter via IM or email, Currently I have to write something like "select in Mantis Kanban and then select filter 'UI bugs' in settings.

Thanks for answering

Okay I understand what you mean now. One reason I implemented the "GO" feature was to quickly display an issue from any project.

I think preselecting project and filter is doable utilizing a url. The user will still be taken to the login screen first though.

I'll try to get this feature in next time I get around to adding new features.

Great! We are using your tool a lot, it is great! I have make some changes to make it more comfortable to us, if you are interested:

link in project name for regular Mantis view issues
link in issue number in description to regular Mantis issue view

also I have done lots of css changes trying to get all issue details on one page without tabs and scrolling as much as possible (like for example trello does) and trying to make as much columns and cards on one screen (again, trello was the reference). Now mostly a few things making Mantis Kanban less comfortable then trello for us:

no permanent links to projects\filters\issues in Kanban (I can only share links to regular mantis), sorry for repeating :)
not that easy to create new issue then you can in trello (sometimes really matters, when you have lots of short issues to make)
not all issue fileds are shown in Kanban

But, again, your tool is great, thanks for your work! :+1: If you interested in I can donate some money in your project (especially if you can makes us a bit more happy with Mantis some of that features ;)

I'm glad you are utilizing the tool.

As far as the features you want, I think all of them are great. I've struggled with some of the things you have struggled with as well. I've considered implementing all the fields in Mantis, but to do that, would clutter up the UI significantly, and I wanted to avoid that. Trello is the tool I originally modeled the UI from, but have branched from it a bit, since it wasn't an exact match for mantis. I'd love to hear how you think I should make input easier. I have struggled with this as well.

In the future I will implement a css based theme engine that will allow css changes without source modification, so that should take care of the css stuff you've done.

I've got your message in issue #22, and I will reply to your privately as well.

FYI,

Lastest version includes the link from a story to the MantisBT, and also the ability to specify links in the kanban that open projects / issues.

I used your code as a guide for the links to MantisBT so thanks for that.

Closing out. Use the suggestion issue to post any new ideas you have.
