Hello

 

Has anyone tried this? I have done it with Google Apps and setting up

[rt-users] 3.8.2 to 4.2.3 Upgrade

2014-03-24 Thread Jim Tambling
Hi 

 

I am planning to upgrade our RT instance and move it to a virtual
machine. As I want to keep RT downtime to a minimum, I plan to install
RT 3.8.2 on the new VM, import the database and settings from the
current instance and then proceed with the upgrade. Is this the best way
to do it? Can you guys offer any suggestions?

 

Regards, Jim

[rt-users] RT CLI

2013-11-23 Thread Jim Tambling
Hi,

 

Does anyone know how I can show the first comment in a ticket without
any of the other stuff that RT puts around it? Eg; I run rt show 14640
and I get:

 

Date: Sat Nov 23 15:39:18 2013

From: jim.tambl...@xxx.co.uk

X-Queue: INI

Subject: [rt #ticket/14640] 14-11-2013

 

=== Ticket created by jim on Sat Nov 23 15:39:18 2013

Auteuil,1,AUT

Saint Malo,2,S-M

Angers,3,ANG

 91980: untitled (90b)

=== Outgoing email recorded by RT_System on Sat Nov 23 15:39:19 2013

 91981: untitled (402b)

 

 

What I want is:

 

Auteuil,1,AUT

Saint Malo,2,S-M

Angers,3,ANG

 

I know I can manipulate the output afterwards but was hoping rt would
save me the work.

 Enter one value

Use a comment in the beginning of the regexp. Take a look at how mandatory

Jim,

I'm assuming (yea, we all know how THAT'S spelled) that you are
referring to the comments made in the box when resolving a ticket. If my
assumption is correct, then those comments can be made available to a
template. Of course, you have to have a scrip to send that template on
the resolve condition. Here it is:

Subject: Request Titled: {$Ticket-Subject} has been Resolved


-
TICKET INFORMATION:
Queue  : {$Ticket-QueueObj-Name}
Number : {$Ticket-id}
Subject: {$Ticket-Subject}
Priority : {$Ticket-Priority}
Requestor: {$Ticket-Requestors-UserMembersObj-First-Name}
Created  by: {$Ticket-CreatorObj-Name}
Created  on: {substr($Ticket-Created, 0, 10)}
Ownedby: {$Ticket-OwnerObj-Name}

-
Description of Issue:
{$Ticket-Transactions-First-Content}


-
Resolution comment:
{
 my $Resolution_Comment;
 my $Transactions;
 my $CommentObj;

 $Transactions = $Ticket-Transactions;
 $Transactions-Limit( FIELD = 'Type', VALUE = 'Comment' );
 $Transactions-OrderByCols(
 { FIELD = 'Created',  ORDER = 'DESC' },
 { FIELD = 'id', ORDER = 'DESC' },
 );

 $CommentObj = $Transactions-First;

 if  ($CommentObj  $CommentObj-id)
 {
  $Resolution_Comment = $CommentObj-Content;
 }
 else
 {
  $Resolution_Comment = No comment.
 }

 return $Resolution_Comment;
} 

-
To view this ticket, click the URL below:

   {$RT::WebURL}Ticket/Display.html?id={$Ticket-id}



Thank you,
{$Ticket-QueueObj-CorrespondAddress()} 

Now, you will also notice the code in there that grabs the FIRST
transaction content. That particular code can be modified in and of
itself to grab other types of transaction content if you know how to
navigate it.

Anyway, like I said, if my assumption is correct, this template will
give you the content entered in comments when resolving the ticket.

Hope this helps.

[rt-users] Mandatory time worked

I have probably asked this before, but here goes.
 
I want to force RT users to fill in the TimeWorked field every time they
update a ticket, much like the MandatorySubject extension works on
ticket creation. Has anybody got something similar to this already? If
not I am prepared to have a stab at it myself, but since I am only just
starting to learn Perl I'm probably going to go about it the wrong way
:-). Would I be able to do this as a scrip action or would I have to
create a module and do it via callbacks? All help/advice/solutions
greatly appreciated.

Hi, 
 
I want to make the Time Worked field a mandatory one with each ticket

(hacking at it till it works) but not wanting to re-invent the wheel I
was wondering if anyone already has something like this in their rt

 For the Page not found part, I get this on 3 different 3.8.7/3.8.8

Kenn,

I might not have explained it properly. I want a field that the user can
fill in with how much time they worked on that portion of the ticket, I
am trusting them to enter the correct data. The TimeWorked field is very
easy to overwrite so I want a per-post entry with a total displayed in
the ticket summary. Maybe it is possible to do something like that? The
'time worked' value would ideally be a mandatory field in each post.

Jim,

How would RT know how much time that was? If the user is working on the
program or problem or design or just thinking about the problem, he
won't be
in RT hitting enter for every minute he is thinking on a ticket and
there
is no time clock going off to determine how much time the person is
spending
doing that task. RT will only know of the time the guy signs on, starts
a
transaction and completes a transaction. You could design a time clock
for a
ticket and have procedures that require (I don't know how you would
*monitor
* anyone following such procedure) a person enter a check-in time for
a
ticket and then a check-out time. But that just may be trying to put
too
fine a granularity on the issue. Somewhere down the line, you have to
just
trust the guy when he says he worked 20 hours on something. Just my
opinion,
of course.

Sorry if I appear to be dismissive of you remarks, but WTF!!?? People
like you who try to change established methods/semantics/ways of

practices are making the world we live in one of pathetic situations
where for example, my son can not take out Little Red Riding Hood out of
the school library because it might upset him due to its violent
content. If you don't like the term steal, change it on your
particular instance of RT but leave the rest of the world alone! I for
one am happy with stealing tickets of my colleagues to work on them.
And regarding the ConfiscateTicket right, it just goes to show what
sort of bigoted individual you are. Trying to enter in to a dialog about
religious beliefs and what is right and wrong on a technical forum is
pathetic, and I feel deeply saddened by having to stoop to your level,
but at the same time I was not going to let the above go unsaid.

everybody using RT properly knows the right StealTicket in order to take

a ticket over.  As a believing  Christian, I am not content with that 
name as I do not want to steal anything. It is better to name that right

TakeTicketOver, so it is granted that the user takes a ticket over 
with permission of the user.

By the RT should create a new right called ConfiscateTicket, that the 
means that user can confiscate a ticket. Such a right is very useful if 
the ticket contains racial or pornographic content.

Jim,

There are a couple ways. You can do it by setting the basics when you
configure a Queue. There is an option in Basics that allows you to
specifiy the numbers of days when a ticket should be due. IT displays
Requests should be due in  days. Filling this out would do it for
every ticket in a specific Queue. We also have another way as an
alternative. We have a CF defined as Need-By Date and we have a scrip
that puts that date into the Due date as the default when it is filled
out. Of course, the ticket owner is able to change whenever they want,
but it gives them an idea what the customer wants.

Hope this helps.

[rt-users] ActivityReports

2010-03-19 Thread Jim Tambling
Hello,

I have installed this extension to RT. The post install page says:

Once you install the ActivityReports extension it does not appear on any menus. 
To add it to the Tools - Reports menu you can 
Create/edit this file rt 
install/local/html/Callbacks/ArbitraryName/Tools/Reports/Elements/Tabs/Default 
with these contents: 
%init 
   $tabs-{'e'} = {title = 'Activity Reports', path = 
'Reports/Activity/index.html'};
/%init
%args
   $tabs = undef
/%args

So I created 
/opt/rt3/local/html/Callbacks/Reports/Tools/Reports/Elements/Tabs/Default and 
restarted Apache. I can see the link under ToolsReportsActivity Reports and 
it links to http://my_rt_server/rt/Reports/Activity/index.html but I get a 'The 
page you requested could not be found' error. Can someone enlighten me?

Regards

Jim;

Have you allowed unprivileged users to create tickets in different
queue/s;
In Queues/Your-Queue/GlobalRights , give the system group Everyone 
create ticket priv
and remove this right from the General queue, if you don't wish them to 
create any tickets there

Note you can give this right to more than one queue.

Re: [rt-users] RTFM WikiText Format Toolbar

2009-04-29 Thread Jim Tambling
Hi Daniel,

 

Thanks for the reply. I don't have
/opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-FM/html/Elements, my path looks like this
instead;

/opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-FM/html/RTFM/Elements/ so I copied
EditCustomFieldWikitest there instead but I cant get it to work.

Also can you clarify this for me? In the post it says;

 

Add in both textarea tags:

textarea ... id=%$NamePrefix
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/NamePrefix %%$CustomField
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/CustomField
-Id%-Values.../textarea

Is this in addition to what is already there? Or in place of?

 

Many thanks, Jim

Jim,

 

I don't recall if I had an /opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-FM/html/Elements
directory or if I had to add it manually, but that is where my
EditCustomFieldWikitext is living. I also have the
/opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-FM/html/RTFM/Elements folder, but I didn't
change anything inside of it.

 

Regarding the textarea tags, the section id=...-Values needs to be
added to the 2 existing textarea tags. For me they were on lines 66 and
69 of the EditCustomFieldWikitext file. I inserted the id section after
Rows and before Name.

[rt-users] Formatted text in RTFM articles

2009-04-22 Thread Jim Tambling
Is there anyway to format text in RTFM articles? I have created a custom
filed of type Fill in one text area but it messes up the text. An
example;

 

I have a couple of lines of text, separated by spaces as shown;

 

Texttexttextmoretextmoretextmoretext

 

When I look at the article, the text appears as;

 

Texttexttext moretextmoretextmoretext

 

 

I have tried with tabs and get the same result and I also tried changing
the format of the CF to wikitext but I get the same result. Ay ideas or
suggestions? If this is the way it is it makes RTFM unusable for what we
had planned.

[rt-users] Suppressing reminders

2009-03-18 Thread Jim Tambling
Hi
 
is there any way to suppress reminders until a specified time before the
reminder is due? My department works a shift pattern so we create
reminders owned by Nobody so whoever is on shift can see what needs to
be done. As the use of RT grows the amount of reminders is getting
bigger and bigger. Ideally I would like to suppress reminders until 24
hours before they are due.

Hi Jim,

Shredder needs a directory to write dumps to. Please check that
you
have span
class=file-path/usr/local/rt/var/data/RT-Shredder/span
and it is writable by your web server.

Looks to me as though that should work:

# ps -ef | grep apache
...
www-data 22739  3889  0 16:19 ?00:00:03
/usr/sbin/apache2 -k

# ls -lR /usr/local/rt/var/data:
...
drwxrwsrwx 2 www-data staff 4096 2009-02-19 10:52 RT_Shredder 

1. Have you restarted your apache?

2. Have you tried being pedantic and checking each and every directory
above 
there too?

ls -d /usr

ls -d /usr/local

ls -d /usr/local/rt

ls -d /usr/local/rt/var

ls -d /usr/local/rt/var/data

ls -d /usr/local/rt/var/data/RT_Shredder

[rt-users] Custom field in searches

2009-03-06 Thread Jim Tambling
Hi all
 
I have created some queries that I have added to a dashboard. Although I
can edit the columns that are displayed I can't get changes to stick. I
have a custom field that I want displayed on the results of the search
saved in the dashboard but every time I go back to the results it has
dissapeared. How can I make custom field dispaly every time without
having to modify Dispaly Columns?
 
Many thanks, Jim

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.

[rt-users] Little help with template

2009-03-05 Thread Jim Tambling
Hi, 
 
I should state I have no knowledge of Perl beforehand. I have a scrip
that notifies the requestor when an approval ticket has been approved.
This is the template;
 
Subject: Ticket Approved: {$Ticket-Subject}
 
Greetings,
 
Your ticket has been approved by { eval { $Approval-OwnerObj-Name } }.

Other approvals may be pending.
 
 
The requestor receives the email as shown below;
 
 
Greetings,
 
Your ticket has been approved by .
Other approvals may be pending.

 
 
Notice the distinct lack of the approver's name.

That part of it looks OK to me.

 

I recently had a problem with a similarly-structured scrip that
didn't seem to be firing.  It turned out to be because I'd left the
Custom Action Preparation Code field blank.  When I put a return 1;
into that field, it started behaving as expected.
