[rt-users] Links are not clickable
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.

Re[2]: [rt-users] Attachments table of RT's Mysql database
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). -- Boris Lytochkin, JSC e-port, Moscow web: www.e-port.ru, wap: wap.e-port.ru tel: +7 (495) 777 1872, ext. 251 __ From: Drew Barnes Sent: 7 августа 2007 г., 21:08 To: Boris Lytochkin Subject: [rt-users] Attachments table of RT's Mysql database 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 Boris Lytochkin wrote: 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.

[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?

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.

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/); James Moseley Luke E Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] .com To Sent by: rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com rt-users-bounces@ cc lists.bestpractic al.comSubject [rt-users] Trying to change the logo.

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

Fedora Core 7,RT3.6.3 yum install(Document link: James Moseley) 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/); James Moseley Luke E Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] .com To Sent by: rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com rt-users-bounces@ cc lists.bestpractic al.comSubject [rt-users] Trying to change the logo.

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.

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.

So, your idea is to move selection of storage to RT::Record::_EncodeLOB, where encoding format is selected.

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

Fedora Core 7,RT3.6.3 yum install 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 ?

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).

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

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

[rt-users] Query to find open tkts where customer hasn't been replied to
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, -- Gary ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.

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

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

Re: [rt-users] Query to find open tkts where customer hasn't been replied to
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. .Robert . ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
