You can specify which issues the users will be able to vote on, based on the following criteria:
- Status: by default, resolved and closed are excluded
- Resolution: by default, all resolutions except open, reopened and suspended are excluded
- Severity: includes feature, minor, major, crash and block by default
On the View Issue Details page, a new Gauge Support section is added,
allowing users to :
- see who voted for (or against) the issue,
- review voting statistics, including a pie chart (if the MantisGraph plugin is installed), and
- cast their vote (with 2 levels of support or rejection, +2/+1/-1/-2) or withdraw it.
A new Issue Support Ranking menu item is available in the sidebar.
It opens a report page, displaying a table listing all issues having received at least one Rating, sorted in descending order of the Absolute Community Support (i.e. the sum of all Ratings for the issue). This means that the most popular issues will be at the top.
The Rankings data can be exported to Excel using the button in the header.
File bug reports and submit questions on the GitHub issues tracker.
This plugin is based on the original version written by Charly Kiendl (EvilRenegade) back in 2010.
It was updated to work on MantisBT 2.x by Cas Nuy in 2017.
Damien Regad gave it a complete overhaul in 2019.
