<p>Alpaca Issue Tracker is a powerful yet simple issue tracking system that lives inside your WordPress admin. Built with the WordPress philosophy in mind, it provides a Trello-like kanban board interface for managing bugs, feature requests, and project tasks.</p>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kanban Board Interface</strong> – Drag-and-drop issues between and within fully customizable status columns</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Context Capture</strong> – Browser info, page context, and technical details are saved with each bug report submitted from the front end</li>
<li><strong>Built for WordPress</strong> – Uses native WordPress components, post types, taxonomies and database tables</li>
<li><strong>Extensibility</strong> – Developers can add custom functions and integrations via conventional WordPress actions & filters</li>
<li><strong>Respects User Permissions</strong> – Integrates with WordPress user roles and capabilities</li>
<li><strong>Screenshot Capture</strong> – See exactly what the user saw, captured and processed locally within the browser</li>
<li><strong>Comment and Activity Thread</strong> – A unified view of each issue’s progress, supporting attachment uploads and user mentions</li>
<li><strong>Priority Management</strong> – Flag high-priority items and set deadlines</li>
<li><strong>Assignee System</strong> – Assign issues and checklist items to team members</li>
<li><strong>Email Notifications</strong> – Instant or daily digest email notifications for the issues you care about</li>
<li><strong>Translation Ready</strong> – Fully localized and ready for translation into any language (including RTL support)</li>
<li><strong>No Artificial Limitations</strong> – Use on as many sites, with as many users, issues, attachments and interactions as you need</li>
</ul>
<h4>Perfect For</h4>
<ul>
<li>Freelance developers managing client sites</li>
<li>Small agencies tracking bugs and feature requests</li>
<li>Development teams needing lightweight project management</li>
<li>Clients performing QA on a new site</li>
<li>Account managers responsible for rolling retainer contracts</li>
<li>Enterprises and government bodies needing extra reassurance on hosting</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<p>Clients don’t have the time or knowledge to provide detailed technical reports when they spot a problem. But developers can’t do their job without that detail. Alpaca Issue Tracker solves this by automatically capturing all the technical context WordPress already knows about each page request.</p>
<p>When a user reports an issue via the Alpaca Issue Tracker front-end toolbar, the plugin silently captures:<br />
– A screenshot of what the user can see<br />
– Browser and device information<br />
– Current page URL and template<br />
– Queried object details and HTTP headers<br />
– Any JavaScript errors</p>
<p>This gives developers everything they need to reproduce and fix issues quickly, with zero burden on the client.</p>
<p>Issues can also be created on the admin side, meaning Alpaca Issue Tracker can also be used as a complete project management system, to plan new features or track internal tasks.</p>

<p><strong>Eine Deutsche Version kann <a href="http://niklas-rother.de/projekte/wp-mantis" title="Deutsches Readme" rel="nofollow ugc">hier</a> gefunden werden</strong></p>
<p>Original Work by Robert Torres. His Version was not working, since he had a typo in a variable. I fixed this error and<br />
extendet this Plugin with some new Features like Changelogs, Roadmaps etc.</p>
<p>This plugin for WordPress 2.8 and above allows you to insert information from a Mantis Bug Tracker<br />
into a wordpress page or post.  The plugin is perfect for projects which use WordPress for blogging,<br />
but also utilize Mantis for their bug tracking/issue tracking. You can include bug lists,<br />
changelogs and roadmaps.</p>
<p>After you installed the Plugin you have to do the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>Create a user in Mantis wich represents your blog. You could name him ‘wordpress’. This user needs at least Reporter<br />
Rights due a limitation in Mantis, but you can see the botton of the page to find out, how to change this.</li>
<li>Configure the Plugin.</li>
<li>Add <code>[Mantis]</code> to the post or page where you want to appear the infomation from Mantis. See below for further instructions.</li>
</ol>
<h4>About the Shortcode</h4>
<p>You must provide options in the Shortcode:</p>
<ul>
<li>To include a bug list use <code>[Mantis bugs proj_id=x]</code>. Replace x with the ID of the project wich you want to display.<br />
You can find the ID in the URL of the Mantis Management Page for this project.</li>
<li>To include a roadmap use <code>[Mantis roadmap ver_id=x]</code>. Replace x with the ID of the Version for that you want to display<br />
the roadmap. You can find this ID in the URL, when you view a single Roadmap in Mantis.</li>
<li>To include a changelog use <code>[Mantis changelog ver_id=x]</code>. See the instruction above this to find the ID.</li>
</ul>
<p>When including a roadmap or a changelog you can speficify a project and version <em>name</em> instead of the ID:<br />
    [Mantis roadmap proj_name=my_project ver_name=1.2.3] or you can use a project ID and a version name: <code>[Mantis roadmap proj_id=x ver_name=y]</code><br />
<strong>The <code>ver_name</code> Paramter is optional, if missing the full changelog/roadmap for the project will be displayed</strong></p>
<p>If you use the ‘bugs’ option, you can add the ‘exclude_stat’ or ‘include_stat’ parameter. After the eqal sign you can add (comma seperated)<br />
the IDs of the statuses to exclude or include. (You can not use include and exclude at the same time, of course!)<br />
So if you dont want to include closed and fixed bugs you would write <code>[Mantis bugs proj_id=1 exclude_stat=90,80]</code><br />
Here is a list of the IDs:</p>
<ul>
<li>10 New</li>
<li>20 Feedback</li>
<li>30 Acknowledged</li>
<li>40 Confirmed</li>
<li>50 Assigned</li>
<li>80 Resolved</li>
<li>90 Closed</li>
</ul>
<p>With the <code>limit</code> paramter you can limit the displayed bugs. To display the latest 5 fixed bugs you would write<br />
    [Mantis bugs proj_id=1 include_stat=80 limit=5]</p>
<p>You can change the table background color for each status and use the localized status names from your mantis installation.</p>
<h4>Why the Mantis User needs Reporter rights</h4>
<p>This plugin uses the Mantis SOAP API to get the bug information. And to access this API the user needs at least Reporter<br />
right. To change this you can create a ‘mc_config_inc.php’ file in your ‘/api/soap’ directory with the following<br />
content:</p>
<p>Now Viewer rights are suffiant for the user.</p>
<h4>Further plans: (eventually)</h4>
<ul>
<li>Only include the CSS/JavaScript if the <code>[Mantis]</code> shortcode is in the content</li>
</ul>
<h4>Translations</h4>
<p>The original plugin is in english, but you can translate in your langguage, since the pot file is included. If I should include<br />
your translation, email me: info at niklas-rother dot de. So far the following translations are included:</p>
<ul>
<li>German/Deutsch</li>
<li>Frensch/Francais</li>
</ul>
<h4>Know Bugs</h4>
<ul>
<li>The changelog and roadmap is in the default language, not in the language of the user. At this point I dont see a change to fix this.</li>
</ul>
