Documentation
-------------

For complete documentation, please read the administration guide included with
this release in the `doc/` directory. The guide is available in text, PDF,
and HTML formats.

Requirements
------------

* MySQL 5.5.35+, PostgreSQL 9.2+, or other supported database
* PHP 7.4.0+
* a webserver (e.g. Apache or IIS)

Please refer to section 2.2 in the administration guide for further details.

Installation
------------

* Extract the tarball into a location readable by your web server
* Point your browser to https://path/to/mantisbt/admin/check/index.php to ensure
that your webserver is compatible with MantisBT and configured correctly
* Point your browser to https://path/to/mantisbt/admin/install.php to begin the
database installation process
* Select the database type and enter the credentials to access the database
* Click install/upgrade
* Installation is complete -- you may need to copy the default configuration
to `mantisbt/config/config_inc.php` if your web server does not have write access
* Remove the `admin` directory from within the MantisBT installation path. The
scripts within this directory should not be accessible on a live MantisBT
site or on any installation that is accessible via the Internet.

UPGRADING
---------

* Backup your existing installation and database -- really!
* Extract the tarball into a clean directory; do not extract into an existing
installation, as some files have been moved or deleted between releases
* Copy your configuration from the old installation to the new directory,
including `config_inc.php`, `custom_strings_inc.php`, `custom_relationships_inc.php`,
`custom_functions_inc.php` and `custom_constants_inc.php` if they exist
* Point your browser to https://path/to/mantisbt/admin/check/index.php to ensure that
your webserver is compatible with MantisBT and configured correctly
* Point your browser to https://path/to/mantisbt/admin/install.php to upgrade
the database schema
* Click install/upgrade
* Remove the `admin` directory from within the MantisBT installation path. The
scripts within this directory should not be accessible on a live MantisBT
site or on any installation that is accessible via the Internet.
* Upgrading is complete

CONFIGURATION
-------------

This file contains information to help you customize MantisBT. A more
detailed doc can be found at https://www.mantisbt.org/docs/

* `config_defaults_inc.php`
* this file contains the default values for all the site-wide variables.
* `config/config_inc.php`
* You should use this file to change config variable values. Your
values from this file will be used instead of the defaults. This file
will not be overwritten when you upgrade, but config_defaults_inc.php will.
Look at `config/config_inc.php.sample` for an example.

* `core/*_api.php` - these files contains all the API library functions.

* global variables are prefixed by `g_`
* parameters in functions are prefixed with `p_` -- parameters shouldn't be modified within the function.
* form variables are prefixed with `f_`
* variables that have been cleaned for db insertiong are prefixed with `c_`
* temporary variables are prefixed with `t_`.
* count variables have the word `count` in the variable name

More detail can be seen in the coding guidelines at:
https://www.mantisbt.org/guidelines.php

* The files are split into three basic categories, viewable pages,
include files and pure scripts. Examining the viewable pages (suffix `_page`)
should make the basic file format fairly easy to see. The file names
themselves should make their purpose apparent. The approach used is to break the
work into many small files rather than have a small number of really
large files.

* You can set `$g_top_include_page` and `$g_bottom_include_page`
to alter what should be visible at the top and bottom of each page.

* All files were edited with TAB SPACES set to 4.
