[rt-users] ticket links all pointing to localhost

2009-03-05 Thread Calvin Chiang
HI

This has been happening just since this morning. When i add a link - 
parent/child/referred etc the link appears fine. but when i 
click-through, the url of the page is pointing to localhost e.g. 
http://localhost/Ticket/Display.html?id=166

Anyone have any idea how i can fix this un?

Cheers,

Re: [rt-users] BUG: has StealTicket but gets You can only take tickets which are unowned?

2009-03-05 Thread Jo Rhett
I think you're missing the point though.  If you don't allow  
Stealticket then this wouldn't matter.  The only question is if they  
can Steal the ticket, why force them to take duplicate steps ?

I don't understand why you don't want more control for Bulk Update.   
So any of your users can cause every one of your ticket requestors to  
get a blank message ... and this is good how?

The point here is to allow each organization to work how they like  
best.  Don't take away StealTicket just because you don't allow it.   
Just don't assign the right.

   I agree with Jesse. Although it is a pain in the rump to have to go  
 thru 2 steps to re-assign a ticket, I am of the mind that when you  
 lossen the the reins of ownership (and for that matter let too many  
 users have the ModifyTicket right.) you run the risk of owners  
 undoing each others work. We allow only 2 users to have the  
 ModifyTicket right, Owners and the AdminCc (which for us is the  
 Queue Manager). We only allow the Queue manager to have the  
 StealTicket right. The reason is that for us, tight control of  
 tickets and the work on them is critical. We just can't allow users  
 the ability to point at one another and say he did it.
   Obviously, there are MANY RT installations that are smaller and  
 need WAY less control. However, I would prefer that we have a choice  
 of degree for control, like in the RT_SiteConfig, rather than just  
 opening it all up OR removing such features as Bulk Update, which  
 I use a lot when setting up new queues or when a queue needs to do a  
 mass change to a CF or something.
   just a thought.

 For me  to take it back and close it, I need to separately Steal

 Would you accept a patch that allows implicit Steal like this?

 Nope. That would entirely defeat ownership-as-locking.

   hmm. okay. I don't know how to do bulk updates, I guess I can learn.
   So far we get two spams/day into the ticket system, so it hasn't been
  that big a deal yet.
 It's just a link at the top of any search results page.
 
I don't know if this helps, but I think what Jerrad means is:

1. Look at the search results page (with Search/Results.html in the url).

2. Click the Bulk Update link in the menu at the top of the page.

3. Select the appropriate (spam queue) entry from the Make queue popup.

4. Click the Update button.

Voila.

Hi Michael,

Yes, I have tried that too, but oddly, it didn't work. I re-ran the
rt-workflow to update the rule, and even restarted apache, but I could
not notice any difference in behavior.

Thanks.

 Hope that works/helps.

 Subject: [rt-users] WorkflowBuilderRules, approval on either approver

 Hi all,

 I have a very simple need for approval. Either my manager or my
 director
 approval should suffice.

 I have it this way currently:

 
 Set($WorkflowBuilderRules,
   { 'CMR-approval' = [ 'IT Manager approval', 'IT Director
   
 approval'], }
 
 );
   
 But it still requires the 2 of them to approve for the pending
 approval status to vanish. I have also tried with another pair of
 angled brackets, but still no luck.

 How would I go about doing that?

 Thanks for the help.

On the face of it, Adminccs shouldn't be getting the autoreply - I wonder  
if there's something in the Autoreply - HDESD template that is adding

Re: [rt-users] Is there a mailing list for AT?

2009-03-05 Thread Todd Chapman
The future of AT is up to it's users. It works pretty well for many
right now, and as a default is sort of the same blank slate that RT is
when first installed. I prefer not to do too much custom stuff in core
AT that some people won't need. AT extensions can be released for
that. Patches are welcome and if you have the right attitude a commit
bit won't be hard to obtain.

 To all  Jesse,


   I have wondered if it would be RT Query could be enhanced to allow  
 two

   1) The ability to search for Queues with the LIKE command.
   Reason; I have several groups that have more than 15 queues (1 has  
 52
 Queues) under their management. In order for them to write a query to
 look at ALL the queues they are responsible for, they have to include
 EACH QUEUE by name in the SQL, rather than Queue like BTS- and get  
 all
  Queues that start with BTS-. That would save a bit of code and  
 time.

I second that request.  Our RT now has over 70 queues, which I try to  
name systematically along similar lines, and this would be really  
useful.

Actually, even better would be to have a hierarchy of queues.  This  
would be useful not just from a query perspective but also from the  
point of view of granting rights to groups of queues.

[rt-users] RT 3.8.2 - Iteration trough transaction attachments

2009-03-05 Thread Filipe José Silva Clemente
Hi,

 

Im using this code in RT 3.8.2:

 

   

my $attachments = $Transaction-Attachments;

$attachments-Limit( FIELD= 'Filename',

 OPERATOR = =,

 VALUE= '' );

while ( my $message = $attachments-Next )

  .

 ..

 

So I can do a While trough all the attachments that aren't ticket file 
attachments but this isn't working. 

 

I saw this example 
(http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/AddAttachmentLinksToMail) but here they 
want the attachments. When I changed the OPERATOR from != to = it doesn't work. 
What am I missing?

 

I want to build a final message history to send to the client by email but I 
want to ignore the file attachments sent by the user in the email messages.

How can I do that?

 

TIA,

 

Filipe Clemente

 I don't understand why you don't want more control for Bulk Update.  So 
 any of your users can cause every one of your ticket requestors to get a 
 blank message ... and this is good how?
 
 The point here is to allow each organization to work how they like 
 best.  Don't take away StealTicket just because you don't allow it.  
 Just don't assign the right.

 I agree with Jesse. Although it is a pain in the rump to have to 
 go thru 2 steps to re-assign a ticket, I am of the mind that when you 
 lossen the the reins of ownership (and for that matter let too many 
 users have the ModifyTicket right.) you run the risk of owners 
 undoing each others work. We allow only 2 users to have the 
 ModifyTicket right, Owners and the AdminCc (which for us is the 
 Queue Manager). We only allow the Queue manager to have the 
 StealTicket right. The reason is that for us, tight control of 
 tickets and the work on them is critical. We just can't allow users 
 the ability to point at one another and say he did it.
 Obviously, there are MANY RT installations that are smaller and 
 need WAY less control. However, I would prefer that we have a choice 
 of degree for control, like in the RT_SiteConfig, rather than just 
 opening it all up OR removing such features as Bulk Update, which I 
 use a lot when setting up new queues or when a queue needs to do a 
 mass change to a CF or something.

Re: [rt-users] Scrip and custom field Help

2009-03-05 Thread Kenneth Crocker
Chris,


Why in the world do you have a Custom Field named the same as a RT 
Ticket field? To me, that would create a bit of confusion when someone 
would discuss the values in the two fields. I wouldn't know which one 
they are talking about, the Custom Field or the Ticket field. Also, if 
the RT Ticket Status field says resolved, then the ticket IS closed and 
any other iteration would be redundant. We have a Custom Field called 
Work-State which allows for more granularity when IN a particular 
status. For example, the TIcket Status may be open, but the work is 
On Hold or In progress or Unit Testing, etc. That way, we have a 
Ticket Status telling us what is going on with the Ticket and a 
Custom Field telling what step the actual work is on. Just a thought.

[rt-users] Email delay on ticket creation

2009-03-05 Thread Derek Cunningham
Hi all,
I have not posted to this list in a long time.  I was quite stumped for a
long time trying to get sendmail configured properly on Mac OS X (client)
and I finally did...  So, I have a new install of RT 3.8.1 on FreeBSD (Mac
OS X).  I'm having trouble with what seems to be random delays in the email
notifications to admincc's when a user emails in a new request.  I am having
a great deal of trouble figuring out where the delay is coming from, I have
googled and searched RT's wiki, and I'm not coming up with anything, so I'm
turning to the list for help.  Most actions that generate email, the email
is delivered immediately.  When a user submits an email to RT that is
creating a new ticket, their autoreply email is sent immediately, but then
the notice to us (the admincc's) has a 'delay=5235' or other random high
number in it.  Performing another action in RT that generates another email
makes both the new email and the as-yet-undelivered email be delivered
immediately.  I captured all the info I could from mail.log and
httpd/system.log, and there wasn't anything related in system.log.  I'm open
to any ideas.  In this case the delay time was set to 5842.  I have seen it
set to other times, usually in the thousands.  If we aren't paying close
attention to RT a new ticket can go unnoticed for sometimes 40 minutes,
sometimes well over 2 hours...

[rt-users] De-normalized RT Views

2009-03-05 Thread Kenneth Crocker
To all,


We have found that the RT Query tool doesn't allow certain type of 
searches we would like to have. SO we created some de-normalized views 
that allow us to use SQL Plus or SQL Navigator, etc. as a tool to access 
our RT ticket data. We are on Oracle, so I'm not sure if the code to 
create these views will be helpful to anyone else, but I'll share them 
with anyone interested. Also, I'd like to put them in the wiki for RT, 
but I've never been there and would need some instruction on how to do that.
Also, for those who have been looking for ways to convert from one 
ticketing system to RT, we have written a program in Perl to do just 
that. It uses the API, so that all relevant table records are updated in 
RT. Again, we use Oracle, so this may not work for you, but the logic 
and process should. All you would have to do is change the syntax and 
any environmental setups so the program would work for you and you've 
got it. Anyone interested in that?

I think what we're bumping into here is a total lack of documentation  
on how this locking has been theorized and is supposed to work.

I don't witness this locking behavior at all.  Based on the rights  
here, anyone can answer any ticket, any time.  That is pretty much how  
we want it.  So having part of the system trying to enforce a stricter  
policy that we've defined the rights for doesn't make sense to me.   
(not that stricter shouldn't be possible -- it should be, just not if  
we want to turn it off)

If there was some documentation on how Take and Steal are supposed to  
interact, with some guidelines on how to properly implement some  
common scenarios, I wouldn't be so confused.  If someone has this on  
the top of their brain or already written down somewhere and can punt  
it into the wiki (as the only apparent source of updated  
documentation) that would be great.

Notes:

1. Yes someday I'll have time to read the code and then I will  
document it so I won't forget it.  That day isn't today, and won't be  
anytime in the next week either.

2. I'm not arguing that any else should have as loose of a policy as  
we do.  Different needs for different environments.  I'm just  
suggesting that someone else wanting it tighter shouldn't mean that we  
*must* run our organization the same way.  For anyone who wants a one  
true way point of view there is always OTRS ;-)

3. What does seem to be lacking is real locking -- preventing race  
conditions on who types the fastest.  When I have some free time, I  
was going to see how hard it would be to implement someone is typing  
on this ticket RIGHT NOW kind of locks.

For your environment that may make sense, but not here.  OTRS enforces  
that kind of approach -- you can't turn it off without hacking the  
source code.  And our general overhead to respond to a ticket was 8- 
times-higher than the actual time spent answering the tickets.

When you have a fairly equal support team and anybody can answer  
almost everything, the last thing in the world you want to do is force  
people to keep unassigning and reassigning tickets to themselves.  In  
our environment 98% of tickets never take an owner.  We only do that  
to indicate that only I can do this, ya'all leave it be

Using RT with everyone having OwnTicket, TakeTicket, StealTicket,  
ModifyTicket, etc has reduced our overheard to about 1.2:1 which is  
totally acceptable in our mind.  Now people have stopped avoiding  
using the ticket system because it's no longer a PITA to use.

Anyway, long post for a short idea: different uses for different  
users ;-)  This particular piece of code seems to implement a stricter  
policy that clashes with the rights assignments.
