The plugin provided here is a fork of the Slack plugin by 2014 Karim Ratib (karim.ratib@gmail.com) modified for Matrix.org for MantisBT version 1.3.0.

The plugin can be checked out via Subversion from:

• http://svn.grimore.org/mantis-matrix-integration

for instance, by changing directory into the root of the Mantis bug tracker and then going into the plugins subfolder and issuing:

svn co http://svn.grimore.org/mantis-matrix-integration Matrix

The plugin should be enabled by an administrator by following the menu options Manage→Manage Plugins after which, the plugin can be configured from the same menu by clicking its name. The configuration options to change are the matrix.org server URL (default https://matrix.org), the username, password and the room alias. The room alias must be a fully-qualified matrix room name.

The plugin is heavily simplified compared to the original Slack plugin and this is deliberate because it was desired to not print out too much information about the bug reports. However, this can be changed by editing Matrix.php and searching for all instances where the notify method is called and then changing the data that is passed via the msg variable in each instance. The actual strings that get printed out whenever a bug report is manipulated are defined in lang/strings_english.txt and due to matrix.org accepting HTML, the messages may contain HTML formatting tags.
