In order to modify the types of statuses in use for Mantis add the following items to these files:
 
to a new file in root called: custom_constants_inc.php
<?php
define ( 'pending', 60 );
define ( 'vendor', 65 );
define ( 'deferred', 70 );
?>
 
To a second new file in root called: custom_string_inc.php
<?php
$s_status_enum_string ='10:new,20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confirmed,50:assigned, 60:pending, 65:vendor, 70: deferred, 80:resolved,90:closed';
$s_pending_bug_button ="Pending";
$s_pending_bug_title = "Set Issue Pending";
$s_email_notification_title_for_status_bug_pending ="The following issue is Pending.";
 
$s_vendor_bug_button ="Vendor";
$s_vendor_bug_title = "Set Issue for Vendor Resolution";
$s_email_notification_title_for_status_bug_vendor ="The following issue needs to be submitted to the vendor.";
 
$s_deferred_bug_button ="Deferred";
$s_deferred_bug_title = "Set Issue to Deferred";
$s_email_notification_title_for_status_bug_deferred ="The following issue is Deferred.";
 
?>
 
In config_inc.php in root:
<?php
$g_status_enum_string ='10:new,20:feedback,30:acknowledged,40:confirmed,50:assigned, 60:pending, 65:vendor, 70:deferred, 80:resolved,90:closed'; # Status color additions
                            $g_status_colors['pending'] = '#ACE7AE';
                            $g_status_colors['vendor'] = '#ACE7AE';
                            $g_status_colors['deferred'] = '#ACE7AE';
?>
 
To upload files into mantis change three files and restart mysql and web server:
in config_inc.php in mantis root add:

In my.ini for mysql add:
#Allow for upload size
max_allowed_packet=8M
 
in php.ini add:
; Maximum size of POST data that PHP will accept.
; http://php.net/post-max-size
post_max_size = 8M
