Thanks!

The increasing ticket number is baked into the Ticket table definition:
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

There's probably bits of code that assume this works this way.

Re: [rt-users] Greetings from a New RT user in Toronto.

2016-10-25 Thread Alex Hall
I'm just taking a shot in the dark, not knowing the code base well, but
what about this. You keep the actual number, but add things before and
after it. For instance:
1207b6988c77
where the ID is 988. Your filter is a letter followed by a number, then
your ID, then a letter. You can add random numbers before and after this to
as much length as you want. The random digit after the first letter will
make it far less obvious where the actual ID is, since the ID would change
for a new ticket, as would the random digit. You might even be able to
avoid reuse by tracking the letters and digit used, giving you 26*26*3
patterns before you'd have to start over. Not true random, but maybe it's
enough for your purposes and would be less of a process to implement?
Again, this is just a thought from someone who doesn't know the code well
at all.

I don't think I have ever seen a random number for ticket ID.
I have seen many systems that show reports of number of tickets processed per 
unit of time and he average answer time.
I guess I have never encountered your need before.

Seeing a series of ticket IDs may tell them how fast tickets come in, but it 
will not tell them how fast they are answered.

What might be easier is to create a custom field that holds a random number 
(maybe a GUID?).  This number could then be placed in the email subject line in 
place of the ticket ID.  Likiewise, the email reader could read the number from 
the subject and look up the ID.  This would touch a lot fewer places in the 
code, and if the recipient only ever sees the email, they don't know the real 
number.  Meanwhile, users of the web interface see both real number and random 
number.

If you allow them to see the web interface, the above will not work.

A simple possible solution is to add a random amount to the ticket sequence in 
the code that generates ticket numbers.  You will need a much larger max ticket 
ID since there is so much wasted space, but the random nature will obscure the 
number of real tickets between two given ticket IDs.

In order to generate a random ticket ID, you need a random number generator, a 
min and max ID number allowed, and a way to determine if any given ID has 
already been used.  You then need to replace the standard SQL that gets the 
current max ID and adds one to assign a new ID.  I don't know where that code 
is.  As you fill the IDs, generating a new ID becomes harder and harder, 
because you will hit duplicate entries in the random generating process.  You 
also loose the relation of ID#s to date order.  Sorting a list of IDs by ID 
number will randomize the time that the IDs occur, requiring reports to be 
modified to be sorted by some other key.

Basically, you need a very strong reason to break the defaults the program 
uses, because there is a lot of work needed to rewrite the many things that use 
the defaults, and the time spent verifying that you found all the bits that 
need to be changed.

What is your use case?

Many thanks to my first 3 teachers, Kenneth Crocker, Alex Hall and Chris 
McClement, for guiding me to the right direction.


Ken, many thanks for your generosity for passing me a copy of your book 
"Request Tracker for Beginners - A Topical Guide" ( also available on 
Amazon if those of you newbie seeking knowledge )


Many thanks to the authors of "RT Essentials" published by O'Reilly.  
This is also a good start for the fundamental basics for RT.


The last 24-48 hrs has been an amazing learning experience.  I feel 
as-if I can do Kung Fu now :)

1. Create Random Ticket numbers.
2. Suppress "RT System Itself - Outgoing email recorded"
3. Customization of Auto ticket reply.
4. Assigning tickets / transferring to someone else (when not logged in

5. 3rd Party CRM integration basics.

Can anyone here guide me to the proper direction to accomplish #1 
(Generating random ticket number versus ascending ticket numbers), and 
guide me towards a fundamentally basic API example for 3rd Party CRM 
integration?


The new things I've learned:

1. Creating Queues
2. Creating Memberships
3. Understanding Group Permissions
4. Taking ownership of a ticket
5. Assigning tickets to someone else
6. Basic Ticket operations (Open, Close, Delete, Forward, Stealing etc)

I'm learning that RT is not only for managing Support Tickets, but it 
can also be used to followup on Sales leads etc (in the same manner as a 
support ticket is handled), but I have yet to understand how it can be 
used in Project Management.   A combination of active / hands on 
learning is needed here, in parallel to passive learning.  That's the 
hardest part because I'm not a very good passive learner (learning 
through reading).


I'm anticipating my status updates on this learning curve will serve as 
an agenda for the new folks adapting RT.


In the mean time, I will be reading Ken's "Request Tracker for 
Beginners" guide till I pass out.


Thanks for welcoming me to the community.

Cheers!
Reza.
