Re: [rt-users] Categories

2013-08-27 Thread Michael Finn
We use two custom fields -- one for a category like you have listed (a 
multi-select list), and one for the requesting department (single-select 
drop-down), also for statistical tracking.

Cheers,
Mike

Subject: [rt-users] Categories

On our old helpdesk (hand written php/mysql setup) we had different categories 
that a ticket could be put into. The choices were like:

Phone
New user
virus
etc

We have set up RT with a main queue that the ticket then gets routed to either 
one of two sub queues as we have two different I.T. groups in our agency. 
Instead of setting up a queue for each category what would be the best way to 
be able to check categories for stats? I was thinking keywords/hashtags in the 
resolution. Anyone else have ideas or pointers?

First thing I always check on multiple extensions is whether they are all in

 Set(@Plugins,(qw(RT::FM)));
 Set(@Plugins,(qw(RTx::EmailCompletion)));
 Set(@Plugins,(qw(RT::Extension::ToggleSuperUser)));
 Set(@Plugins,(qw(RT::Extension::QueueDeactivatedScrips)));
 How should I list this? And do I reinstall then after I correct this, or just 
 correct the Set(@Plugins, ...) line and restart Apache?


Set(@Plugins,(qw(RT::FM RTx::EmailCompletion RT::Extension::ToggleSuperUser 
RT::Extension::QueueDeactivatedScrips)));

(above is one line)
No reinstall necessary; just bounce Apache.

'qw' takes a space-separated list and turns it into the quoted list format 
needed for the Set command.

Re: [rt-users] RTFM gone

First thing that pops into my mind is the Set(@Plugins,qw(RT::FM)); line.  
There can be only one in the config file -- multiple Set(@Plugins,...) just 
overwrite what was set on a previous line.  If you have more than one Set line, 
consolidate them into one Set statement.

RTFM seems gone on our RT. Until now it was not used, but I don't see

We use RT 3.8.7 and RTFM 2.4.2
The tables for RTFM are still in the database but surfing to
RTFM/index.html results in an error:
The page you requested could not be found.
RTFM was installed following the README and Set(@Plugins,qw(RT::FM));

Any ideas how to fix this?

Re: [rt-users] RT and Explorer 8 problem

Sounds like the IE problem we tracked down earlier this year -- it is
related to signatures and the rich-text editor.  Try removing the
signature from your preferences, and see if that fixes it.  If so, the
problem has been resolved as of 3.8.3 and newer.

Hi,

hope someone help me investigate this issue.

We have a 3.8.2 RT installation and we had
no problem so far.

Recently we have had reports regarding broken comments
on tickets (chewed up, incomplete, broken end of lines).

We've tried to narrow down the issue and seems to be
replicable with Internet Exporer 8. 

This installation has been cleanly customized through
callbacks and we are fairly confident to not introduce
regressions in this area.

We have even tried to upload fckeditor to latest version
(2.6.5), but no cigar.

Does this rings any bell?

Thanks in advance,

I have users that type large messages and/or paste text into the RT

amount of text that the rich text box can handle, or another reason why
it would truncate?  Would this pertain to some of the IE bugs that were

Tim,
I had the IE problems (in fact, I'm upgrading from 3.8.2 to 3.8.4 as I
type this), but I also had issues if I pasted text from Word or Outlook
into the rich-text editor without using the Paste from Word or Paste
as plain text tool button.  A straight Ctrl-V pastes a *ton* of
M$-specific XHTML tags, making the result too large or is not plain
text.

 Hmmm... odd that I dont get the error when I

you
 using? Do you still get this problem if they

 Mine is getting truncated at 319 characters

 Looks like my JavaScript error is unrelated.
  Its a RTx-

 I have it this way currently:

 How would I go about doing that?

Further testing:
Logged into a different PC (Remote Desktop); logged into RT w/ IE7 -- same 
problem (55 chars, extra garbage).
Logged into RT as root w/ IE7 -- did NOT have the problem.
Fellow IT user (with same permissions as mine) is also not having this problem.
It looks like *I'm* the lucky one. :(

What could it be about *my* login in RT that's causing this issue???

Hi,
  I'm trying to track down a bug I am experiencing with RT, its WYSIWYG 
editor, IE7 and RTx-EmailCompletion.

On my install when RT inserts content automatically into the body of the 
WYSIWYG editor.

I only get this error when using Internet Explorer 7 (Haven't tried other IE 
versions). Firefox doesn't suffer.

If I insert and RTFM article, my user signature (set under users preferences), 
or hit reply/comment on a ticket transaction it posts the info correct into the 
WYSIWYG editor window. When submitting that page the transaction content 
randomly inserts spaces, line breaks, and chops off the end of the content.

If I disable RTx-EmailCompletion it works fine.

I also have a JavaScript error in IE7 when RTx-EmailCompletion is enabled;
Line: 2
Char: 1
Error: Syntax error
Code: 0

This error shows on every page. Looks like it's a problem with 
RTx-EmailCompletion. It doesn't give a JS error in Firefox.

Has anyone else had this problem or been able to fix it?

Re: [rt-users] Can not close reminders

2009-01-06 Thread Michael Finn
When I’ve been unable to remove reminders, it has always been the case that the 
parent ticket has changed queues.  For some reason, when you change the ticket 
queue, the reminder’s queue does not change with it.  This causes the update 
query to fail when you try to resolve the reminder.  Options?  Either change 
the ticket back to the original queue and then resolve the reminder, or perform 
an update SQL query and modify the reminder so its queue matches the ticket.
The reminders are stored in the same table – Tickets – as the tickets 
themselves; they just have a Type = ‘reminder’ rather than Type = ‘ticket’.

Cheers,
Mike

RE: [rt-users] Phantom Reminder

2007-03-20 Thread Michael Finn
When I've come across an undeletable reminder, it has always been the
case that the associated ticket was moved to a different queue *after*
the reminder was created.  Thus the reminder (which is stored in the
same Tickets table in the DB) now has a different queue number than
its associated ticket.  Changing the queue on the reminder (using SQL)
so that it matches the queue on the ticket should clear up your problem,
if this is what has happened to you as well.

Cheers,
Mike

Subject: [rt-users] Phantom Reminder

I have a reminder that is owned by 'Nobody' that shows up on the front 
page when I am logged into the system as root. Clicking on the reminder 
link takes me into the ticket under which the reminder was created.

However, when I am in that ticket, no reminders are shown. The ticket 
has been resolved, but I tried setting the status back to open just for
fun.

When logged in as my normal user, I can't see the reminder, but when I 
log in with 2 different accounts that are superusers, I can see the 
reminder on RT at a glance.

How do I make this thing go away?

[rt-users] 3.6.1: Modify query for 'at-a-glance' - MyTickets

2006-09-18 Thread Michael Finn
I successfully migrated our installation from RT 3.4.5 - RT
3.6.1/CentOS 4.3/MySQL 5.0.18 , but I'm having trouble with a
modification to the At a glance page.  (I copied the old local/html -
local/html-3.4.5 after clean install)

In 3.4.5, I had modified local/html/Elements/MyTickets to include the
stalled status in the query.  Now in 3.6.1,
share/html/Elements/MyTickets says it's deprecated and I can't find
where to apply the change.

I had a similar modification for local/html/Elements/MyRequests (also
deprecated).

Help?

TIA,
