How to use custom fields in the Mantis Roadmap?

Question

I would like to evaluate the efforts for future versions of my software in my roadmap in the Mantis Bug Tracker.

I could easily understand how to add custom fields (an integer type called "days to complete") to problems, and how to display it on the "Viewing Problems" page. But I could not figure out how to add something to the roadmap showing the sum of days to complete unresolved issues.

Is there a built-in way to do this? I guess not, it will take some PHP coding inside Mantis. But maybe someone has done this already?

Edit: I looked at the Time Tracking feature. This is not what I want.

The roadmap display is controlled by a user-defined function that you can override in any way you think is necessary (and yes, which means writing some PHP code, but without changing the core of MantisBT).

To achieve what you want, you must override custom_function_default_roadmap_print_issue() .

See the MantisBT documentation for more details .
