Re: [rt-users] adding custom filed value to email
I cut my teeth on APL and used to spend hours shaving 7 or 8 bytes from the
size of 360 assembly language programs, so I do have an appreciation for
efficient and elegant coding solutions.
However... several decades later and who-knows-how-many brain cells fewer,
I've found that I spend less time looking up function names and fixing
typos using code like:
my $custom_field = get_custom("SomeField");
and
set_custom("SomeField", $my_val);
### I've also developed a new appreciation for comment lines in my old age. :)

If you want to ditch the sub $_[0] will always be undef as there will
be no @_ (because it's no longer a sub) :)
In that case (to use it as a one liner) just:
my $custom_field = $Ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue('SomeField');

Please don't Huw, this has been very entertaining ;)
How about just
return $Ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue($_[0]);
or even no subroutine - just use $Ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue($_[0])

OK, I suck and actually sent the wrong opto, here is what I wanted to
say:
sub get_custom {
return $val if $Ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue($_[0]) or return
undef;
}
Again, totally pointless but makes the line count prettier :)

Hi Gene,
I saw this fly by and just couldn't help myself trying to optimise it:
On 27 Mar 2008, at 16:04, Gene LeDuc wrote:

return $val if $Ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue($_[0]);
return undef;
}
Sorry, it's a pointless opto (just reduces numbers of lines and makes
it less readable but that's how we do in perl land right?) but I
had a spare 30 seconds :)

Re: [rt-users] adding custom filed value to email
Hi Gary,
Here's how I do it. I like using subroutines so I can reuse the code, so
this is a subroutine that I'd have at the end of my template.
### Returns custom field value
### get_custom($field_name)
sub get_custom {
my $target_name = $_[0];
my $val = $Ticket->FirstCustomFieldValue($target_name);
return $val if defined $val;
return undef;
}
To get your value using this subroutine you have something like this:
my $uLocations = get_custom('Locations');
And then you just use $uLocations in your template wherever you want it
displayed.
Regards,
Gene
