How to allow users to send issues via e-mail to MantisBT? - email

In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_issue-tracking_systems#Input_interfaces it says, that Mantis allows Input via mail.
I checked config_defaults_inc.php for associated settings, but could not find them. How can I allow my users to send issues to my MantisBT instance?

You will have to install the EmailReporting plugin to enable this feature. You can download the plugin from https://github.com/mantisbt-plugins/EmailReporting
Installation of the plugin is straightforward, but configuration can be done only from the plugin page. Please make sure that you read the README before using the plugin.

If you are using MantisHub (MantisBT as a Service), email reporting is included as part of the gold and platinum plans:
http://www.mantishub.com/
You can find the documentation of the feature at:

Can't create GitHub account

I want to create a GitHub account, but something is blocking me from doing that
As you see, it's asking me to do captcha test over and over again.
Should I report this as a bug? is this also happening to you?
I suggest to wait some minutes and try it later. Or you can just try to do the following steps:
Ensure JavaScript is enabled on your browser.
Ensure your browser is supported. If your browser isn't supported, upgrade your browser or install a supported browser. For a list of supported browsers, see "Supported browsers".
Ensure your network configuration is not blocking https://octocaptcha.com/ or https://arkoselabs.com/. If you're behind a corporate firewall, contact your IT administrator to allow those domains. To verify access to these domains, visit https://octocaptcha.com/test and ensure the text "Connection successfully made!" is displayed, then visit https://client-demo.arkoselabs.com/github and ensure you are able to load the captcha.
Ensure your browser does not have plug-ins or extensions that may be interfering with GitHub. If so, temporarily disable the plug-ins or extensions during captcha verification.
Otherwise everything works according to the status page.
In Debian: apt install epiphany-browser
It just bypassed github's signup "barriers" in a way that fresh installations of Firefox ESR / Firefox latest / Chromium... in Debian, Windows, Android... could not!
I tried many times, but I couldn't create an account on Github. After that, I tried to create an account on GitHub using my mobile google chrome, then I successfully created an account in Github. Thanks.

Scipy website down - documentation mirror

For past two days I have been trying to access the scipy official site.
https://www.scipy.org/
I have not been able to access it. I have checked it on multiple service
providers as well as through boxes setup in US. I would trust this site to be
official site and refer to documentation on it.
How does one intimate them ?
Also, meanwhile is there any mirror available for the documentation ?
Best Regards,
Vinayak
There is no official mirror.
You can check the availability of the website via third party tools, such as http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/docs.scipy.org
The team behind SciPy is generally aware of the unavailability and do their best to put it back up.
The best "next" option is to build the docs yourself locally or rely on the scipy-doc package from your package manager. Under Debian, one can do apt-get install python-scipy-doc and look under /usr/share/doc/python-scipy-doc/html.
The closest that I can reach till now:
http://web.archive.org/web/20161216070200/https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/
It looks it's best to use pydoc.
The most convenient form is to launch it in the browser using localhost http server. This can be done through pydoc -b and one can browse through
most of the relevant documentation for the specific package.

eZ Publish Site Package Error

I am installing ez publish(CMS) in my xampp...
however in this section of installation
SITE PACKAGE
I can't proceed even though I can click next.. I bet the site package is mandatory... I need your help guys... btw, I am installing 2013.5 version
here's the error
Error
Invalid package
Remote repository URL: http://packages.ez.no/ezpublish/5.0/5.0.0/
I've tried uploading the ezwebin_site.ezpkg in the remote repository still I can't proceed... thanks in advance.
Site Package selection step within the Setup Wizard is more or less required (you must select one package using the ratio buttons) to complete a proper eZ Publish installation first time.
Notice the 'Help' sidebar content, "The type of site will choose some basic settings for toolbars, menus, color and functionality. It is possible to change these settings at a later time.".
This is to remind new users that you first use the setup wizard for your first time installation of eZ Publish and then you can re-configure eZ Publish settings, design, extensions, etc manually as much as you desire / require. You can customize almost any part of eZ Publish, once you have it installed and setup properly.
It is recommended for new users to install the 'Website Interface' (with content) package for your first installation. Again you can change all it all after you have completed the default installation and have a working default installation.
More experienced developers may choose to use the 'Plain site' package (with no content, and significantly less default functionality and helpful tools) but this option often causes extreme confusion to new users / developers (who need the tools provided in the 'Website Interface' package to get started using eZ Publish quickly) as it omits expected content classes, default content use case examples, roles / policies, default settings use case examples, ezwebin design extension and much more. As such any package choice other than 'Website Interface' (with the version of eZ Publish you are using) is very strongly discouraged.
Advanced Developers with an already setup installation can create their own site packages to reuse in the future to simplify configuration of a default installation.
Resolution Edit: During an extensive stackoverflow and irc chat it was determined that the user asking the question lacked the WAMP server (PHP modules) support required by eZ Publish 5.x which is why the user was having installation setup problems. Specifically the user was missing the required php curl module which is used / required by the setup wizard to download site packages. The user was strongly recommended to replace Xampp (on win32) with Bitnami (for eZ) which provides for all the requirements of eZ Publish 5.x by default and has already been heavily tested and customized for use with eZ Publish 5.x. Also the user was using an older version of eZ Publish 5.x (2013.5 community build) which only supports PHP 5.3 and the user's Xampp PHP version was PHP 5.6.8 which requires at the very least eZ Publish 5.x (2014.11 community build).

Collaboration in Eclipse via ECF

I wanted to use the DocShare plugin so I installed the ECF SDK in Eclipse Luna and tried adding my google account using the File->New->XMPPS and added my google account information to log in but I get the error "Container Connect" has encountered an error.
Do i need to include anything except my email address in the field for User-ID?
I would love any help on this issue as I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it working.
BTW, I also tried adding the details of my account into the XMPP dialogue with the same result.
EDIT: I just realized that I also need to enter a port with my email address but I have almost no knowledge of ports and have no idea what port to assign.
Allowing "Less Secure Apps" in my google settings did the job. Am now connected to my Google Account through Eclipse. Recieved an email that asked me to allow this.

How create an installer of chrome packaged app?

I need to demonstrate a test version of my app. I DON'T want to load it to the store yet. I want create an installer of my app, so the user can go to my site and install the application by clicking.
First of all, have you read the documentation including developer installation, enterprise installation, publishing on the Web Store only to test accounts, and recent announcements of changes? Assuming you have, then with the exceptions listed in those sources, all apps/extensions must be published in CWS. They don't have to be listed publicly, but they do have to be published there.
Your best bet is to use the test-account feature of CWS for your demonstration.
This is very easy, yo can create the installer vía chrome://extensions > Developer Mode > Package extension.
Then you got the .crx file, you can upload it anywhere and share it. To install it, user must open chrome//extensions and drop the file in the page.
The option to install from webpage by clicking was disabled in Chrome for security reasons.
