These files were taken from MantisBT v2.21.1. Replace the default files at your own risk and ensure you make a backup of the originals before overwriting.

Issues and requests should be submitted on my MantisBT site.
The following usage documentation is inherited from the original GanttChart plugin is is left here for reference.
The Gantt Chart plugin for Mantis gives the ability to display the roadmap of the tickets correction on a gantt chart, for a given version, or for given filter
The Ganttt charts can be accessed via a dedicated menu, listing all the available projects+versions
Or via a link in the filter menu, allowing more options
The definition of 2 custom fields
Or Use the bounded "Due Date" to calculate the duration
Settings for the Duration custom field: It must be a custom field of type "String" in order to be able to use the regular expession
Settings for the Start custom field: It must be a custom field of type "Date"
Two files are included with the plugin that can be used to patch both the Roadmap page and the Changelog page. This patch will place a "Gantt Chart" button in the header of each section on these pages, which can be used to display a Gantt chart for the sections respective/related issues.
These patched source files were taken from MantisBT v2.21.1. It is recommended that you diff and merge other versions before applying the patches, or in the very least backup your original copies.
