Hi,

this is to announce a new plugin LikeTrello which allows to drag-n-drop
issue cards between status columns in order to change their status.
Inspired by https://trello.com/.

See https://github.com/spidgorny/LikeTrello for animated GIF.

Please add it to the list of plugins on wiki and
https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins.

Hi,
I just had a look at your plugin on your repo (I am no admin, just a
MantisBT user), and I noticed several things which could be considered as
flaws against the mantis policies:
- The plugin does seem to take into account the visibility of he issue by
the connected user. You just make a select on all the bugs and display
them. Some issues can be set as hidden for some users or category of users
(public/private for instance...)
- Not all the users can modify the status of an issue, which your plugin
does not seem to take into account (meaning a viewer could possibly update
the status of an issue via the plugin)
- It also seems that you are bypassing the workflow defined by the mantis
manager/admin. One could define for its installation that a resolved ticket
cannot be opened again for example.
- Your plugin does not seem to work without an internet connection as you
link directly to JQuery online
(echo '<script src="
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js
"></script>';)

I am assuming all that just by reading your files, I could be wrong on some
point. But I would like to alert you on some notes in case it is rejected
by the mantisBT core team.

Regards,
AlainD.

Hi,

you are right in all aspects. It's just that I don't have a clue about
mantis-bt APIs. Could you just mention a corresponding API method or class
for each of your findings, please? I would be able to figure out how to
continue from that.

Thanks.

Slawa Pidgorny.
