I would like to suggest an enhancement to TikiWiki 8 to integrate with MantisBT. Specifically the desired outcome would be:
(1) A single sign-on. If you are logged into to TW, you are logged into Mantis and visa versa;
(2) A unified view of user. If you are a registered user on the TW, then you are a user on Mantis and visa versa. Creating an account on TW also creates an account on Mantis.
(3) Either a center module to deliver Mantis content or a menu link to take you to the linked Mantis website.
(4) Users can create links between forum topics and Mantis bugs. Each forum topic links to zero or one Mantis Issue, and each Mantis Issue links to zero or more TW forum topics.
(5) Develop a TikiWiki syntax enhancement to enable users to easily reference Mantis bugs by Bug ID.
I am a software engineer by profession, but my language is Delphi, not PHP. I don't really know PHP. However, if a TikiWiki developer was interested in progressing this issue, I could learn PHP and offer my assistance in development. Caveat: I could not take a lead role. If a developer were to take a lead role in developing this feature, I would be happy to offer my services as an assistant developer (not lead role).
Perhaps we could also get some guidance from the MantisBT developer team?
Faithfully,
Sean B. Durkin
