[rt-users] Reply form hanging

2010-03-23 Thread Matt Adams

Hi,

We have one user who is reporting that the reply form is hanging 
intermittently.  The browser will just sit at the reply form page and 
continue to load forever without actually taking him anywhere.


This user has also had problems with the reply form being submitted 
multiple times in some of these cases.  This causes duplicated comments 
in the ticket history.  I assume that the two problems are somehow related.


Has anyone else experienced anything like this?  We cannot seem to 
reproduce the problem elsewhere.



Thank you,

Matt

Re: [rt-users] Adding comment via REST interface

2010-01-21 Thread Matt Adams
We use RT::Client::REST to append comments to tickets as part of our 
Subversion integration.  Seems to work just fine.

Check out

http://blog.rot13.org/2008/09/request_tracker_subversion_svnweb_microblogging.html

for an example on how this might be done.  My only suggestion would be 
to extend the example by adding in additional error catching as shown in 
the RT::Client::REST documentation.


Cheers,

Matt

[rt-users] Links to linked tickets

2010-01-19 Thread Matt Adams
Folks:

Our RT installation is accessible from two locations, one public and the 
other internally or over our VPN.

In the majority of situations this does not cause a problem however I 
have noticed that the hyperlinks for any linked tickets use the URL 
configured by $WebDomain rather than simply be relative to the current 
URL used to access RT, whatever that may be.

Contrast this with the navigational links throughout the site that don't 
seem to care what the current URL is.

Is there any way to remove this restriction on the links generated by 
the ShowLink and ShowLinks templates?  There may be other templates but 
these are the ones at fault, so far as I can tell.


Thank in advance,

Matt

[rt-users] Customizing template content for privileged users

2010-01-17 Thread Matt Adams
Folks:

Does anyone know if it is possible to customize email template content 
based on the rights of the person being sent the email.  For example, if 
the requestor is also a privileged user I'd like to be able to do 
something like this in the template:

if (user_is_privileged) {
include_special_content;
}

Rather than setting up a new template entirely.  Is this possible or am 
I barking up the wrong tree?


Thanks in advance,

Matt

Thanks to all who've replied thus far ... I ended up editing the

[rt-users] Custom field textarea too small

2010-01-11 Thread Matt Adams
Folks:

I've created a custom field for a static description we'll use on some 
of our project-related tickets.  Unfortunately the textarea is so small 
as to be almost useless.

Is there anything that can be easily done make this field more accessible?


Thanks,

Matt

 Check all your ExternalAuth settings in RT_SiteConfig.pm.  Things like

 have filter set to '(objectClass=*)' to always match, and d_filter set
 to '(objectClass=ThisWillNeverMatch)' to never match (as I have no such
 attribute in LDAP).

Unfortunately both of those settings are configured properly.  This 
error just started appearing out of the blue.  I haven't changed 
anything recently.

FWIW, I'm using a mod_perl2 configuration.

 It is definitely related to the filter. The problem is in UserExists 
 which ensures that the user actually exists in the user database, and is 
 run once for each specified database iirc.
 
 Double, triple and then quadruple check your filter value in the config.

I'm not convinced that the filter value is the config is to blame for 
this.  It hasn't been changed since the initial installation and 
everything has been working up until a little while ago.

I found out what was causing the problem although I still don't know 
*why* it is a problem.

Someone changed the URL to RT in our wiki to be http://rt?user=john_doe 
so that the username would be set automatically as per the wiki 
username.  Seemed like a smart idea since both authenticate against the 
same LDAP server.  Whenever this URL is used to get to RT the error appears.

If I remove ?user=john_doe and log in manually everything works just fine.

Does anyone know why this would be?  We're using RT 3.8.5 and 
RT::Authen::ExternalAuth 0.08

My problem is solved for the time being but it would be nice to know why 
?user=john_doe causes problems.


Thanks,

Matt

 That or the fact that that isn’t valid RFC compliant URI syntax: try 
 http://rt/?user=john_doe instead. While some web browsers/servers will 
 fake it and try to work, most standards compliant ones like lighttp and 
 Apache aren’t as forgiving.

I've tried both variations and it makes no difference.  RT errors out 
either way.

Re: [rt-users] Permission Denied while using RT::Extension::CommandByMail

2009-11-19 Thread Matt Adams
Please ignore my previous email re: Permission Denied while using 
CommandByMail.  As it turns out it I was confusing this error with 
CommmandByMail when it was really just a simple RT permissions issue 
(users couldn't respond to tickets).


Thanks,

[rt-users] Permission Denied while using RT::Extension::CommandByMail

2009-11-18 Thread Matt Adams
Hi folks:

I've installed RT::Extension::CommandByMail and configured it according 
to 
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/FALCONE/RT-Extension-CommandByMail-0.08_01/INSTALL.
 
  So far so good.

When I try and email a ticket with commands (e.g., Priority or 
TimeWorked) I get the following response:

To: matt.ad...@cypressinteractive.com
Subject: Message not recorded: Re: [Product dev. #59]
  AutoReply: New feature foo
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:40:02 -0600

Permission Denied


Subject: Re: [Product dev. #59] AutoReply: New feature foo
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:37:28 -0700
To: somewh...@edsuite.com
From: Matt Adams matt.ad...@cypressinteractive.com

Priority: 50
TimeWorked: 60

Trying again but this time putting the commands at the beginning of the
email.



I see the following errors in the web server log:

[warning]: Couldn't write correspond.  Fallback to standard mailgate. 
Error: Permission Denied 
(/home/rt/local/plugins/RT-Extension-CommandByMail/lib/RT/Interface/Email/Filter/TakeAction.pm:334)
[crit]: Permission Denied (/home/rt/bin/../lib/RT/Interface/Email.pm:244)
[error]: Could not record email: Message not recorded: Permission Denied 
(/home/rt/share/html/REST/1.0/NoAuth/mail-gateway:75)


Does anyone have any idea what is wrong here and what I can do to get 
CommandByMail to work?  I have not configured the optional configuration 
option CommandByMailGroup.  The RT option UnsafeEmailCommands has not 
been configured.


Thanks in advance,

Matt

[rt-users] Alternate email addresses for user accounts

2009-11-17 Thread Matt Adams
Folks:

Is there any way to have alternate email addresses per user account?  I 
read something about this on the wiki wish lists but couldn't find any 
more current information about it.

We have staff members who may use more than one email address.  Our LDAP 
tree, by which we are authenticating, already knows about these email 
addresses.

It would be advantageous if RT was able to figure out that 
bob.jo...@example.org and b...@example.org were actually the same person.

Has anyone had any success in implementing something that would grant RT 
this capability or am I up a creek and just need to force everyone to 
use the same email address?


Thanks in advance,

Matt

For the sake of clarification, I'd even be good with a solution that 
didn't involve LDAP.
