Allow Gravatars

The Mantis issue tracker is enabled to use the Gravatar web service to display a user avatar in certain views. This solves this request in the issue tracker.

Requirements

The user must register the same email used in Mantis with Gravatar. The process is simple, and similar to what's described for MantisHub.

The Administrator must install the Gravatar plugin (bundled). In the configuration file, we turn on the option.

$g_show_avatar = ON; // defaults to OFF;

Set Color Scheme

The default color scheme for the newly rolled out v2.4.1 was too faded, so we use these colors instead

$g_status_colors = array(
        'new'          => '#ef2929', # scarlet red
        'feedback'     => '#75507b', # plum
        'acknowledged' => '#f57900', # orango
        'confirmed'    => '#fce94f', # butter
        'assigned'     => '#729fcf', # sky blue
        'resolved'     => '#8ae234', # chameleon
        'closed'       => '#babdb6'  # aluminum

Plugins

I installed the bundled plugins:

1. Gravatar
2. graphs plugin
3. import/export plugin

Enable Markdown

There is a configuration setting for processing markdown in the core formatting plugin.

1. (Administrator) Navigate to the Manage Plugins page.
2. Then click the title for the Mantis Core Formatting plugin to access it's setting page
3. Tick the box for processing Markdown and save.
