[rt-users] Links are not clickable

2007-08-08 Thread Firas Batal \(QA/EMC\)
 

Hi everyone,

 

I am wondering whether there is someone there who could help.

 

This is the summary of the problem: Links are not clickable after I have
changed the Default RT at a Glance.   I am running RT 3.6.3,  Perl
v5.8.3 under Linux (FC6), and MySql 5.0.27. This is not a production
site, but rather an experimental PC that carry RT 3.6.3.  I were doing
some tests and experimenting when the reported problem has happened.
 
This is what I have done: I have logged in as root.  I have changed the
default RT at a glance page using the information posted on the wiki
(ChangeDefaultRTAtAGlance
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/ChangeDefaultRTAtAGlance  ).  I
intentionally removed 10 newest unowned tickets, and did some
customization on 10 highest priority tickets I own and then the tickets
listed under the heading are not clickable.  When I click on 10 highest
priority tickets I own, I see the ticket, but they are not clickable.
 
I am wondering if some one has seen this before.  I have searched the
mail list, but to avail. 

Thanks and I apologize for the innconvinience.
Firas

Re[2]: [rt-users] Attachments table of RT's Mysql database

2007-08-08 Thread Boris Lytochkin
Wiki would be enough, but there is a problem in current patch state:
it uses special constant string inplace of real content to indicate
that file is located out of DB.
Right way is to use flag in table. I do not think that changing scheme
 witch patching is a good idea, that is why this patch must be merged into RT.

Now about different strokes for different folks.
This way of storing attachments is reasonable when you get 50Mb+ of mail
each week (scans, faxes, documents, etc).

I guess it all comes down to different strokes for different folks. 
Perhaps this could be put up on the wiki and then if someone needs this
capability they can easily get it?

DB

 Ken,

   
 First, if everything is inside a database, then a
 simple backup of the database will get everything related to a
 particular RT instance.
 
 Wrong. We _stopped_ backup process of RT database due to LARGE amount
 data every day. We have no such amount of tape to store DB's everyday
 backups.
 Now, DB backup is done every day and attachment backup is done
 separately. As a result we have everyday SQL-backup of DB and
 incremental backup for attachments. It uses much less space.

   
 Second, in many cases you would like to
 isolate the front-end from the back-end information store. Once
 you need access to the filesystem, everything becomes much more
 involved.
 

 I understand that storing attachments out of RT involves much more
 than DB-only solution, BUT 10 Gb DB with 9.5 Gb of images involves much more.

 Anyway, it is up to admin to decide whether to store attachments
 separate or not.

 Dear Mr. Lytochkin,
 

   
 There are two very good reasons to not store attachments outside
 of the database. First, if everything is inside a database, then a
 simple backup of the database will get everything related to a
 particular RT instance. Second, in many cases you would like to
 isolate the front-end from the back-end information store. Once
 you need access to the filesystem, everything becomes much more
 involved. I am certain that there are other reasons, but those
 two are certainly enough for me. I have appreciated the ease of
 generating a consistent backup of my RT information store.

 I wrote a patch that allows to store non-text attachments to be
 stored out of DB - in my case it greatly reduced DB swelling.
 Just for now it uses constant string in Attachments-Content to
 indicate that file is written to FS.

 You will need to specify some variables in RT_Siteconfig.pm:
 Set($AttachmentsDirectory, '/var/RT/attachments');
 Set($LogAttachmentsLoading, 1);
 Set($LogAttachmentsSaving, 1);
 Set($StoreNonTextAttachmensInDB, undef);
 #Set($StoreNonTextAttachmensInDB, 1);

 A new share/html/Ticket/Attachment/dhandler and attach.patch for
 rest of RT distribution is in attachment.


 Gregory Harper, you can find more complex set of patches allowing to
 produce  show image thumbs automaticly in attachment too.
 Some more variables must be specified in RT_Siteconfig.pm

 Set($ShowTransactionImages, 1);
 Set($ProduceImageThumbs, 1);
 Set($ImageThumbsDirectory, '/var/RT/thumbs');


 I wonder why bestprcactical is not interested in intergating these
 patches into RT:

[rt-users] Pg database connection - authentication failed

2007-08-08 Thread Gary Stainburn
Hi folks.

I've just had to move my RT3 install onto a new box and all's going well until 
I try to use it.  When I try to bring the login page up I get Internal Server 
Error.

The log file shows:
[Wed Aug 08 11:18:06 2007] [error] [client 10.1.1.118] Connect Failed FATAL:  
password authentication failed for user rt_user\n\n at /opt/rt3/lib/RT.pm 
line 205\n

If I try to access the database using:

export PGDATABASE=rt3
export PGHOST=127.0.0.1
export PGPASSWORD=password
export PGUSER=rt_user
psql

it lets me in no problem, but RT fails.  my RT_Config.pm includes:

Set($DatabaseType , 'Pg');
Set($DatabaseHost   , 'localhost');
Set($DatabaseRTHost , 'localhost');
Set($DatabasePort , '');
Set($DatabaseUser , 'rt_user');
Set($DatabasePassword , 'password');
Set($DatabaseName , 'rt3');
Set($DatabaseRequireSSL , undef);

Anyone got any suggestions

Re: [rt-users] Trying to change the logo. Fedora Core 7, RT3.6.3 yum install

I'm sure I'm just missing something simple, but I cannot seem to change

I've installed RT using yum (lazy I know, but it works apart from this 
issue).


It has been installed into
/usr/share/rt3
I've created /usr/local/rt3/html/Elements/
and copied the Logo file into that directory.

I've added the logo I want to use into /usr/share/rt3/html/NoAuth/images
It is a 92x50pixels jpeg.


I'm using 3.6.3 (not from yum, though) and I have done the same thing, 
up to this point.  However, I have something different for the Logo file 
changes:


Following suggestions from the wiki and the mailing list archives, I put 
this line into the Logo file :
a href=%$RT::LogoLinkURL%img src=%$RT::LogoURL% 
alt=Intranet width=%$RT::LogoWidth% height=%$RT::LogoHeight% 
//a


a href=%$RT::WebBaseURL%img 
src=%$RT::WebImagesURL%my-logo.jpg alt=Alternate Logo width=139 
height=20 //a


Where WebBaseURL and WebImagesURL are:

Set($WebBaseURL , http://machine.domain.com;);
Set($WebImagesURL , $WebPath . /NoAuth/images/); # default
Set($WebPath , );# default

Cleared the cache and that was it.

Did you change the query's results columns?  If so, did you use the 
Link format for the columns that you want clickable?

Can a session be hijacked this way?

We are looking for a way to login in a user automatically without

If you set the WebExternalAuth variable in your config, RT will obey
the REMOTE_USER set by another login source (such as a single sign-on

That may help you do what you want.

 Hi RT Users, Developers,

 i'm not 100% sure if this is a bug or if i'm again too dumb...

 For a Custom Field, I can grant the following Group Rights:

 SeeCustomField
 ModifyCustomField
 AdminCustomField

 From my point of understanding, SeeCustomFields allows a user to see the CF 
 and it's content, but not to change it?
right


 ModifyCustomFields grant him the right to change the Content of the CF and 
 AdminCF grants him the right to change this CF, is this correct so far?
AdminCF allow user to admin a CF, add new possible values, change type...
ModifyCF allow user to modify value(s) of a CF on tickets or objects
this particular CF applies to.


 If the point above is correct, then if a user that only have the rights 
 SeeCustomField should only be able to see this field and content, but should 
 not be able to change the content?
right.


 OK, now my problem and why I'm thinking that's a bug...

 If a user creates a ticket in a queue with a custom field assigned and he has 
 only the right SeeCustomField at this CF, he should see the field but should 
 not be able to enter something there?!? But he is...!...is this the correct 
 way of handling the ACL or do I something wrong?
Yeah, there is a small bug on create. User see fields he can see even
if he can't modify them, but as far as I know user gets 'permission
denied' after creation for fields he can't modify.

In 3.7 development branch we don't show fields user can't modify on
the create ticket page anymore. I think we can backport that fix.


 Its under RT 3.6.4 and I have double checked the rights, the global rights, 
 group rights and user rights...

 Any Ideas or hints or understand I the rights Setup for CF totally wrong???

Re: [rt-users] Trying to change the logo. Fedora Core 7, RT3.6.3 yum install

Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately it doesn't seem to have helped.

I've now set /usr/local/rt3/html/Elements/Logo
to read :
a href=%$RT::WebBaseURL%img src=%$RT::WebImagesURL%mtllogo.jpg

Stopped apache, cleared the mason cache,
(rm -rf /var/cache/rt3/mason_cache/)

I edited my RT_SiteConfig.pm and commented out all the Logo variables and
set
Set($WebPath , /);
Set($WebImagesURL, $WebPath . NoAuth/images/);

Started up apache again, and it still displays the Best Practical logo.

I've also disable SElinux as it was affecting the mail delivery.
I'll get RT working first, then go back and learn SE !

I also have
Set($LogToSyslog, 'debug');

in my RT_SiteConfig.pm and there is no message in /var/log/messages when I
view an RT web page.

[rt-users] Another rights question

2007-08-08 Thread Benjamin Weser
Hi everybody,

just saw the request of Torsten and Ruslan's answer to it.

I have a similar situation (bug??) here: A user with the rights
CreateTicket
ReplyTicket
SeeQueue
ShowTicket
Watch
can create a ticket but also set Status and the Owner while creating the
ticket.

In the mail list I've found a solution to automatically assign a ticket
to somebody while creating it. If this would overwrite the described
behavior it would be ok for me. But shouldn't have the user no rights at
all to set the values Owner and Status? If a really stupid user decides
to choose Resolved, nobody will bother about the ticket.

Will this be fixed in the next version too? Regarding to Ruslans answer
those fields won't be visible at all in the next version. Is that right?
Maybe I will sit here and wait for so long then ;)

James,

Thanks for pointing that out.
I was following some instructions somewhere in setting that up.
If I can find them, and I didn't just follow them wrong, then I'll correct
them !

Unfortunately, your suggestion hasn't fixed my problem, but has got me
thinking along different lines.
I noticed these two lines in the System Configuration in the web interface
RT::MasonLocalComponentRoot /usr/local/lib/rt3/html
RT::LocalPath /usr/local/lib/rt3

Should either or both of these point to
/usr/share/rt3/local/html
??

Luke, just realized my response below was not sent to the list yesterday.
Reading your recent post, I just noticed something from your original post
yesterday:

 It has been installed into
 /usr/share/rt3
 I've created /usr/local/rt3/html/Elements/
 and copied the Logo file into that directory.

I am not familiar with the FC7 yum package of RT, but if the RT is
installed in /usr/share/rt3, why did you create your 'local' directory in
/usr/local?

You should have copied the Logo file to: /usr/share/rt3/local/html/Elements
(if you install from source, you have to create the Elements directory).

Unless there is something odd about the FC7 package, you currently have put
your Logo file in a directory (/usr/local/x.x.x) that will never be read by
RT.  Perhaps you simply made a typo in your post?

I know this is covered somewhere in the documentation, cause I had to
figure this out at one point myself.  The method you are using below is for
versions prior to 3.6.x.  For 3.6.x versions, to change the logo you need
put customized changes in the local directory.  So, in your case, you'd
need to create /usr/local/rt3/local/html/Elements/ - then copy in the Logo
file, edit, delete the whole mason cache (looks like you are only deleting
parts of it?), and restart apache.

If that doesn't work, try getting rid of the Logo syntax in
RT_SiteConfig.pm and manually putting that stuff in the Logo file.  For
example:

a href=http://RT URLimg src=%$RT::WebImagesURL%/picutre
file alt=%loc(picture title)%width=92 height=50/a

In order for the following to work, you'd need to define RT::WebImagesURL
in your RT_SiteConfig.pm:

Set($WebPath , /rt);
Set($WebBaseURL , https://base RT URL);
Set($WebImagesURL , $WebPath . /NoAuth/images/);

I'm sure I'm just missing something simple, but I cannot seem to change the
BP logo on my install of RT 3.6.3 on Fedora Core 7.
I've installed RT using yum (lazy I know, but it works apart from this
issue).

It has been installed into
/usr/share/rt3
I've created /usr/local/rt3/html/Elements/

I've added the logo I want to use into /usr/share/rt3/html/NoAuth/images
It is a 92x50pixels jpeg.

Re: [rt-users] Trying to change the logo. Fedora Core 7, RT3.6.3 yum install

2007-08-08 Thread James Moseley
I would assume /usr/local/lib/rt3  exists?  Is /usr/share/rt3 simply a
symbolic link to /usr/local/lib/rt3?

If RT is actually installed in /usr/local/lib, then see if
/usr/local/lib/rt3/local/html exists.

Lastly, check your Apache config and logs to see where RT is pulling the RT
logo from.  That will at least give you start.  If you still can't figure
it out, simply edit the default Logo file (instead of trying to override
the default Logo file by having the file local/html/Elements/Logo).

Re: [rt-users] Trying to change the logo. Fedora Core 7, RT3.6.3 yum install

2007-08-08 Thread Luke E Morgan

It appears to be almost fixed now.
The system configuration on the web interface has this line :
RT::LocalPath /usr/local/lib/rt3

so I created
/usr/local/lib/rt3/html/Elements/Logo
and made that use the local logo that I wanted.

Cleared the mason cache, restarted Apache and it worked !!

I tried altering that variable in RT_SiteConfig.pm using this line, and it
doesn't seem to have any effect 
Set( $LocalPath, '/usr/share/rt3/local/');

For the time being, I am happy to have the ability to create my own local
config, but is there a particular reason why
RT might be ignoring my SiteConfig of the LocalPath variable ?

Thank you all for your help.

 For a Custom Field, I can grant the following Group Rights:

 From my point of understanding, SeeCustomFields allows a user to see the CF

right


 ModifyCustomFields grant him the right to change the Content of the CF and 
 AdminCF grants him the right to change this CF, is this correct so far?
AdminCF allow user to admin a CF, add new possible values, change type...
ModifyCF allow user to modify value(s) of a CF on tickets or objects
this particular CF applies to.


 If the point above is correct, then if a user that only have the rights 
 SeeCustomField should only be able to see this field and content, but should 
 not be able to change the content?
right.


 OK, now my problem and why I'm thinking that's a bug...

 If a user creates a ticket in a queue with a custom field assigned and he has 
 only the right SeeCustomField at this CF, he should see the field but should 
 not be able to enter something there?!? But he is...!...is this the correct 
 way of handling the ACL or do I something wrong?
Yeah, there is a small bug on create. User see fields he can see even
if he can't modify them, but as far as I know user gets 'permission
denied' after creation for fields he can't modify.

In 3.7 development branch we don't show fields user can't modify on
the create ticket page anymore. I think we can backport that fix.


 Its under RT 3.6.4 and I have double checked the rights, the global rights, 
 group rights and user rights...

 Any Ideas or hints or understand I the rights Setup for CF totally wrong???

RE: Re[4]: [rt-users] Attachments table of RT's Mysql database

2007-08-08 Thread Schincke, Keith D. (JSC-IT)[MEI]
You could do that or just have 'ondisk' be a new encoding type added at
the end of the list. 
The Content field of the data base could store the path to the file
relative to a config option.

I would suggest a file size threshold option if RT starts using the file
system to store attachements. 

The folowing config options could be added:
Set( $AttachmentLocation, 'indb'|'ondisk'|'size' ) ;
Set( $AttachmentDiskStorageThreshhold, 4096 ) ;
Set( $AttachmentDiskPath, '/some/location' ) ;

I think I was envisioning ondisk as a new encoding meaning the  
content is the path to the attachment's content on disk (presumably  
named as a sha1 sum of its content) and not a prefox to the existing  
encodings. There's not much sense in storing stuff on disk in  
something other than raw binary format.

Re: Re: [rt-users] Custom Fields and Rights Question / maybe a bug

2007-08-08 Thread Ruslan Zakirov
If a CF is mandatory then all users who can create tickets in queues
CF applies to must have 'ModifyCustomField' right. I think this way.
Do you have another ideas? At least as I understand this the way it
work now.

I was thinking about while fixing bug in 3.7 and came to two ideas:
1) Mandatory CFs must have default value. So when people couldn't set
a CF then we apply default and the fact that the CF is mandatory
doesn't prevent creation.
2) We can add new 'SetCustomFieldOnCreate' right which can be useful
in many workflows and also admins would be able to allow users to
create tickets with mandatory fields, but deny changing a field after
that.

Both ideas are subject of RT 3.8 only, as I said we can only back port
a patch from 3.8 to avoid confusion of users and admins.

H, an new right would not fix the core of the problemi think this not 
only occurs on create, this can also hapen at resolve time.

From the workflow point of view we have the situation that a user creates a 
ticket with only limited rights, later groups working at the same ticket have 
more rights and have to set this cf, later groups only need to see what happens 
with this ticket and resolve this...

I think to bypass the mandatory check and only display the cf if needed but 
with no chance to ut something should be a cleaner solution?!?

If a CF is mandatory then all users who can create tickets in queues
CF applies to must have 'ModifyCustomField' right. I think this way.
Do you have another ideas? At least as I understand this the way it
work now.

I was thinking about while fixing bug in 3.7 and came to two ideas:
1) Mandatory CFs must have default value. So when people couldn't set
a CF then we apply default and the fact that the CF is mandatory
doesn't prevent creation.
2) We can add new 'SetCustomFieldOnCreate' right which can be useful
in many workflows and also admins would be able to allow users to
create tickets with mandatory fields, but deny changing a field after
that.

Both ideas are subject of RT 3.8 only, as I said we can only back port
a patch from 3.8 to avoid confusion of users and admins.

  Yeah, there is a small bug on create. User see fields he can see even

  In 3.7 development branch we don't show fields user can't modify on

   Its under RT 3.6.4 and I have double checked the rights, the global
 rights, group rights and user rights...

Re[6]: [rt-users] Attachments table of RT's Mysql database

2007-08-08 Thread Boris Lytochkin
Wednesday, August 8, 2007, 7:45:08 PM, you wrote:
 I think I was envisioning ondisk as a new encoding meaning the
 content is the path to the attachment's content on disk (presumably  
 named as a sha1 sum of its content) and not a prefox to the existing  
 encodings. There's not much sense in storing stuff on disk in  
 something other than raw binary format.

It's better to use my variant of attachment naming:
1) Attachment.Content = NULL, this saves disk space.
2) TransactionId.AttachmentId naming is familiar with download links in Web
interface.

So, your idea is to move selection of storage to
RT::Record::_EncodeLOB, where encoding format is selected.
But this function is used by ObjectCustomFieldValue_Overlay.pm, that
will be confused when it get 'ondisk'.

So, ContentEncoding seems to be not very good field to store 'ondisk'
flag since 'ondisk' means storage scheme, not encoding. Mixing it will
produce awkward result.

Can anyone comment on whether sorting search results by a custom field

Re: [rt-users] Trying to change the logo. Fedora Core 7, RT3.6.3 yum install

2007-08-08 Thread James Moseley
Obviously, RT is installed in /usr/local/lib/rt3.  To make custom changes
to your logo without changing the default Logo file, put the customized
Logo file in /usr/local/lib/rt3/local/htmlElements/Logo.

Next, dump the $LocalPath setting in RT_SiteConfig.pm - it's not needed.
BTW, what is the path to your RT_SiteConfig.pm file?

And what's in /usr/share/rt3?  Is this simply a symbolic link to
/usr/local/lib/rt3?

It appears to be almost fixed now.
The system configuration on the web interface has this line :
RT::LocalPath /usr/local/lib/rt3

so I created
/usr/local/lib/rt3/html/Elements/Logo
and made that use the local logo that I wanted.

Cleared the mason cache, restarted Apache and it worked !!

I tried altering that variable in RT_SiteConfig.pm using this line, and it
doesn't seem to have any effect 
Set( $LocalPath, '/usr/share/rt3/local/');

For the time being, I am happy to have the ability to create my own local
config, but is there a particular reason why
RT might be ignoring my SiteConfig of the LocalPath variable ?

Thank you all for your help.

Luke, just realized my response below was not sent to the list yesterday.
Reading your recent post, I just noticed something from your original post
yesterday:

 It has been installed into
 /usr/share/rt3
 I've created /usr/local/rt3/html/Elements/
 and copied the Logo file into that directory.

I am not familiar with the FC7 yum package of RT, but if the RT is
installed in /usr/share/rt3, why did you create your 'local' directory in
/usr/local?

You should have copied the Logo file to: /usr/share/rt3/local/html/Elements
(if you install from source, you have to create the Elements directory).

Unless there is something odd about the FC7 package, you currently have put
your Logo file in a directory

2007-08-08 Thread Forrest Blount
Regarding what makes a field mandatory:

What I'd love to see (and what I initially assumed the mandatory option
provided) was for fields to be required before a ticket could be resolved.

We have yet to implement the mandatory feature on any queues here because,
for the vast majority of the time, the fields we'd love to require don't
contain information we have when the request is made, but rather pertain to
the steps/process we go through to resolve a ticket.

It would be great if, in future versions, you could specify mandatory for
ticket creation and mandatory for ticket resolution.

In 3.7 development branch we don't show fields user can't modify on

To all,


	I can think of many situations where I could have a business group 
watching the progress (workflow status, etc.) of a ticket that is 
set/modified using a custom field. They need to see it because they are 
affected, but I do not want them to change it.

 If a CF is mandatory then all users who can create tickets in queues
 CF applies to must have 'ModifyCustomField' right. I think this way.
 Do you have another ideas? At least as I understand this the way it
 work now.

 I was thinking about while fixing bug in 3.7 and came to two ideas:
 1) Mandatory CFs must have default value. So when people couldn't set
 a CF then we apply default and the fact that the CF is mandatory
 doesn't prevent creation.
 2) We can add new 'SetCustomFieldOnCreate' right which can be useful
 in many workflows and also admins would be able to allow users to
 create tickets with mandatory fields, but deny changing a field after
 that.

 Both ideas are subject of RT 3.8 only, as I said we can only back port
 a patch from 3.8 to avoid confusion of users and admins.

	It would be great if, in future versions, you could specify mandatory 
for ticket creation and mandatory for ticket resolution.

Regarding what makes a field mandatory:

What I'd love to see (and what I initially assumed the mandatory

resolved.


We have yet to implement the mandatory feature on any queues here 
because, for the vast majority of the time, the fields we'd love to 
require don't contain information we have when the request is made, but 
rather pertain to the steps/process we go through to resolve a ticket.

Betreff: [rt-users] Another rights question

Hi everybody,

just saw the request of Torsten and Ruslan's answer to it.

I have a similar situation (bug??) here: A user with the rights
CreateTicket
ReplyTicket
SeeQueue
ShowTicket
Watch
can create a ticket but also set Status and the Owner while creating the
ticket.

In the mail list I've found a solution to automatically assign a ticket
to somebody while creating it. If this would overwrite the described
behavior it would be ok for me. But shouldn't have the user no rights at
all to set the values Owner and Status? If a really stupid user decides
to choose Resolved, nobody will bother about the ticket.

Will this be fixed in the next version too? Regarding to Ruslans answer
those fields won't be visible at all in the next version. Is that right?
Maybe I will sit here and wait for so long then ;)

I am sure you can do this by using a single mysql command, but...

To get the numeric id of the custom field:

Grab the id, then:

Why do you need a query to do this?  Can't you just look at Configuration-
CustomFields-YourCustomField and view its current value options?

If you need to do a SQL query, use:
SELECT DISTINCT CustomFieldValues.Name FROM CustomFieldValues JOIN
CustomFields ON CustomFields.id=CustomFieldValues.CustomField WHERE
CustomField.Name='YourCustomField' AND CustomFieldValues.Disabled=0;

If you want ALL customfieldvalues for the field (and not just the current
ones) get rid of the Disabled specification.

[rt-users] Query to find open tkts where customer hasn't been replied to

2007-08-08 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
I'd like to make a query to find all open tickets where the customer's been
waiting for a reply for longer than N hours.  It looks to me like Told is the
last time the customer was replied to, and LastUpdated is the last time
anything happened in the ticket.  So I tried this, in the Edit Query view:

  Queue = 'support' AND Status = 'open' AND Told + 1  LastUpdated

but when I apply the changes, RT says Error near -LastUpdated- expecting a
VALUE in ' Queue = 'support' AND Status = 'open' AND Told  LastUpdated'
 I'm lost

which is cute, but doesn't help me make my query.  How can I do this?  It's
pretty straightforward SQL, but I'm not sure how to make a straight SQL query
from the interface.  Is there a mode where I can mark a query as just submit
it to the database as a WHERE clause, don't try to interpret it?

Or is there a better way to do what I'm looking for?

thx,

Re: [rt-users] I forgot how to do this

2007-08-08 Thread Mathew
I'm sure I don't have to explain that sometimes people do things that
require this kind of information.  It's hard to look at the RT interface
and telepathically move the information in the custom field to the
application I'll be using it in.

That said, as the API has the functionality to do this without direct
queries to the database, I have no interest in doing things outside of
said API.  I'd rather not have to include more perl modules than
necessary (DBI) to get information that is already available via modules
I'm already using (everything in RT).

Thanks for the input though.

 Try the following:

Simple, but unfortunately it mostly gets the cases where we're waiting for the
customer and not the other way around.

I'd be happy if I could say LastUpdatedBy  Owner too...

 Sorry, but the UI doesn't support building queries where date fields
 are compared to each other.

Too bad.  Can I write an add-on of some kind?  I'll check the book...

I use two little scripts (rt-count and rt-remind) both of which can be used to 
create a simple email report.  Maybe those will work.

 Are you looking for tickets that have never been touched but are more than
 an hour old, or you trying to identify all open tickets that simply haven't
 been updated within the last hour?

Thanks for the reply, James.

Not that it hasn't been updated, but specifically the customer updated
the ticket (via email normally) and nobody's answered them.  They're
waiting for a response.  I don't care if a ticket hasn't been updated
for a couple of days, as long as we were the last ones to email the
customer (i.e. the ball's in their court).

If there were specific ticket states for who last updated the ticket
that would help.  Or if I could check LastUpdatedBy  Owner that would
do it too.

Isn't this a common thing, to want to find the open tickets that aren't
being handled in a timely fashion?

[rt-users] Scripted creation of Outlook / Exchange tasks?

2007-08-08 Thread lists_rt
Hello folks!

First off, I want to thank Best Practical for their brilliant system
that made my life ten times easier.

My question: has anyone ever scripted the generation of Outlook tasks
from a *nix platform, either through some dandy Perl/Python/Ruby/etc.
module or by manually piecing together the necessary message components
in a script and sending it via SMTP?

I found the following link regarding the creation of Outlook calendar
entries:

http://www.mavetju.org/programming/outlook-ics.php

I'm working to integrate the calendaring functionality into a custom
scrip.  However, I've been unable to find a similar resource regarding
tasklist entries instead of calendar entries.  (Our staff have
BES-integrated Blackberries welded to their hips, so Exchange task and
calendar integration makes RT even more valuable to us.)

I know I can use some painful VBscript hacks running on a Windows box to
pull the data I need from RT and sling it at Exchange, but I would
really, really like to keep this tidy and located on a single (Linux) box :)

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

-Matt

Matt, if you get this up and running would you mind sharing the setup process 
with the group?  This sounds like a pretty interesting integration, I know 
there have been many occassions when I would like to have this stuff in my 
Outlook.

Keep us posted!

Re: [rt-users] Query to find open tkts where customer hasn't been replied to

2007-08-08 Thread James Moseley
I don't think there is a way in RT to perform the search you want (at least
not a straightforward one).  You're best bet is to create a custom script
to perform a mysql query that would identify tickets that would match the
following criteria:

(status is open) AND (last update was performed by the requestor) AND
(difference in time between current time and last update is greater than
one hour).

How about setting up a custom field like  Where the ball lays with
values of Customer or Us.  Then write a scrip to flip that value if
one of your people replies to the ticket ( if they're all part of the
same group this would be easy ), and another scrip to flip the value
back if the ticket is updated by someone else (You could do this all in
the same scrip I do suppose, for some reason I opted to do it in two).

Then you can just create a search for 'not resolved' and 'The ball is in
our court'..  I even go so far as to have my RT at a glance configured
so I list tickets I need to respond to separately from those that I have
responded to.

Jesse, thanks for the email.

I checked into things a bit more; apparently Outlook doesn't support
ICS's VTODO component :( The code Outlook DOES generate for a task
request is, at first glance, a nightmare.

I'm going to keep hacking away at this.  If I have any success, I'll
post any relevant findings/code to the list.
