[rt-users] From Ticket transaction custom fields to Ticket custom fields
Hi all, I asked this before but obviously with too many words since i never got an answer. So here goes again. Can i change a Custom field's Applies to -attribute from Ticket Transactions to Tickets without all heck breaking loose, on a queue already using said custom attribute? If not, what heck would break loose and how can it be avoided? The RT used is version 3.6.5.

[rt-users] RTFM WikiText formatting
After upgrading to the latest RTFM version I have found that some of the customizations on http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/RTFM no longer work and I can't work out why. We used the %code% tag a lot in RTFM, but now it's no longer being parsed and is just showing as %code% in the WikiText, rather than the format specified. The Image, code and highlight tags don't work, but I'm only really concerned with the code tag. It seems like it is being scrubbed somewhere by something, but I don't know where to look to see if I can add the formatting to be allowed.

[rt-users] Large, frequent file attachments and RT
Hello all, I have an application in mind where requestors would frequently need to submit file attachments alongside their requests, and some of these files will be rather large. The ticket handlers would need to use those files and also to manage groups of files by any particular requestor. Including the files themselves within the RT database seems like a poor idea, and I get the impression I may not be the first one with such requirements. I was wondering if anybody could point me in the direction of mods to RT (or something) that will store references to the files only within the database and store the files themselves on an actual file system?

[rt-users] RT 3.8.2 - CF Enter One Value With Autocomplete non-functional?
Hi folks: Been researching this one all morning, and can't find a reason for it. I have a CF, enter one value with autocomplete, populated with 10 random values. When starting to enter values, nothing happens. Looking in the page source, it is evidently an AJAX thing, so I tried on three browsers (Firefox, IE, Safari), all didn't work. Apache error logs indicate no problem, access logs give 200's on Helper/Autocomplete/CustomFieldValues. All the hard stuff I've done with RT has ended up being easy, but some of the easy stuff like this is turning out to be a challenge. Anyone managed to get this to work?

Re: [rt-users] Transaction notifications to ticket Owner
Jerrad, I'm not sure what you got out of the box or if someone deleted a global scrip, but I'll walk you thru it. By the way, There are may installations (like ours) that do not want all sorts of Email filling up their inbox, so we have kept our Global notifications to a minimum and set them up on a queue by queue basis. To set up a global notification scrip navigate thus: Configuration-Global-Scrips. Enter a name for the scrip like Notify Owner on Correspondence. On the condition line select On Correspond and for the action, select Notify Owner (as opposed to Notify Owner as comment. The latter will leave the correspondence in the history, but no Email sent out). Then select a template (like Global: Correspondence) and then hit create. Try to keep in mind that RT gives each installation the ability to do all sorts of customization and the built-in stuff (like Email notifications) is kept to a minimum. If you have any trouble with this, let me know. Hope this helps. Kenn LBNL On 1/26/2009 4:27 PM, Jerrad Pierce wrote: Is there some reason RT doesn't automatically notify owners of correspondence (and comments if they have ACLs) out of the box? I checked the list archives, and there're some comments about rolling your own scrips, but that's not very intuitive. There's very little in the book either (a table entry in the CSR example). Worse, it sounds like a PITA to do yourself if you (reasonably) want to avoid potential duplicate notices. I've been looking at the Scrips an Recipients box, but it never really stuck that the owner wasn't listed; because, really, why wouldn't he be notified?? I just checked our 3.8.1 installation, and the owner definitely does not receive messages, contrary to DWIMmery.

Re: [rt-users] Transaction notifications to ticket Owner
Jerrad, Not that I know of. Rights for roles have to be set up just like for a user-defined group and Custom Fields. RT has no way of knowing what rights you want a person to have, who is going to manage the queue, who will have modify rights to a ticket, who is allowed to make comment only on a ticket, etc. As far as I know, there are no special set of rights given for roles. Hope this helps.

Re: [rt-users] Easy install guide for RT3.8.1 On Ubuntu 8.0.4 Server
Derrick Smith wrote: Hello all, I recently setup RT and wanted to integrate it with my AD infrastructure. Through the use of these mailing lists, other forums, RT wiki and Google I've been able to get RT running and LDAP authentication working but I was under the impression that when a user logs into RT using their LDAP user/password a user is created within RT automatically. Is this incorrect? When I log in as a domain user I'm granted unprivileged access (which is okay) but the user does not show up in the user list if I then login as a privileged user (root). Has anyone else had this problem? I believe RT_SiteConfig is configured correctly but I've added it to this email for further review. I've also attached the ldap authentication log (rt.log). 1. You ought to make sure you're using ExternalAuth v0.08 - the configuration you supplied suggests a slightly older version as, for example, the 'auth' and 'info' lines in the LDAP config have been deprecated. 2. I'm willing to bet that you've come across the most simple of issue that confuses every new RT admin. The user list only every lists privileged users by default. If you want other users to show up you need to specify a search in which they would appear as a result. If you truly want to see ALL users in RT, I recommend the following search: Search for all users whose username isn't z. That should show up all your users (unless you have one with the username 'z' :) ). -- Kind Regards, __ Mike Peachey, IT Tel: +44 114 281 2655 Fax: +44 114 281 2951 Jennic Ltd, Furnival Street, Sheffield, S1 4QT, UK Comp Reg No: 3191371 - Registered In England http://www.jennic.com __ ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: sa...@bestpractical.com Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.

(FreeBSD specific post, if you're not using you can simply ignore this message) After seeing the ten bazillion things that www/rt38 wanted to install I ended up building a new machine separate from our build server just to build all of these ports. I installed every one of them by hand (non-root user, typing the root password each time, manually checking the config option for each port). I disabled every option in GD and GraphWiz that I could, and it still installed 272 ports. In particular, it installed 120-something X11 apps and libraries on a machine which doesn't have X11, will never have X11, and explicitly has WITHOUT_X11=yes in /etc/make.conf. So it's being overridden somewhere. I have now removed 100-something of these ports and RT continues to operate and function in every way, without any difficulty. After every 10 or so ports I remove (usually in the same dependancy branch) I stop and retest every function RT provides. Before I continue to waste my time trying to figure out why so many things are enabled, could you as a maintainer perhaps address the question of why so many extra ports are added? Are these extra ports added to satisfy requirements in extensions that you have added to RT? Can I convince you to put those dependancies in a separate port with that extension so that we aren't required to have massive port bloat with the base package? Note to RT Maintainers: it would be nice if you documented the explicit list of dependancies rather than forcing us to read the code to figure it out. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: sa...@bestpractical.com Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.

Re: [rt-users] why does RT alter the mail header order?
Following up on my own post: RFC 2822, 3.6: ...for the purposes of this standard, header fields SHOULD NOT be reordered when a message is transported or transformed. More importantly, the trace header fields and resent header fields MUST NOT be reordered, and SHOULD be kept in blocks prepended to the message. So, if we're reordering the received lines, it's a bug I'd like to see fixed. Assuming they don't otherwise compromise the system (which is really, always the case), patches would most certainly be welcome.

Re: [rt-users] Ticket Forward Problem With Thunderbird
Hi Jesse, What a surprise!!! Indeed it looks like Thunderbird was massaging the forwarding email... I forwarded the very same ticket to my Hotmail account and it looked just fine. As soon as I forwarded it to my local work email account and have Thunderbird open it, the attachment became uuencoded. This is probably done by some plug-in? I will investigate and report back if I find any information. Thanks very much for your help!

[rt-users] Segmentation Fault
I have a problem that I think may be database specific, but I'm lost in how to troubleshoot further. I have a working 3.6.3 system that I want to port to a test machine running 3.8.x. I took a minimal Fedora 10 install and installed RT3 from yum. I then upgraded the DBD::mysql using CPAN to 4.010 I mysqldump'ed the 3.6.3 database (using -default-character-set=binary), sftp'ed the dump over to the new box, and pumped it into the new mysql database there. I then ran rt-setup-database -action upgrade from 3.6.3 to 3.8.1 (which is what yum installed for me). After customizing the RT_SiteConfig.pm file, I can log in and see my cases on my home screen, but as soon as I attempt to either go into a case, or hit anything else on the screen (tickets, configuration, ...), I get hit with a segmentation fault. As I said - I'm fairly sure that this is a database issue on my end (starting out with a blank database and populating it with several cases, I don't see any problems - just when I add my 3-year old, 1.1GB database). If anyone has any suggestions for further troubleshooting, I'd love to hear them!! I ran GDB and backtraced from the point of the seg fault, and this is what I got: (hitting Configure in the menu): Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. memcpy () at ../sysdeps/i386/i686/memcpy.S:75 75 rep Current language: auto; currently asm (gdb) bt #0 memcpy () at ../sysdeps/i386/i686/memcpy.S:75 #1 0xba9dad1c in ??

Re: [rt-users] why does the freebsd port have 200+ dependancies?
Steven, can we have an option in the 3.8.2 port to not use graphviz, please?

I think there is an option in the config, however even if it's not there then feature will be disabled on systems where perl's GraphViz bindings are not installed. Oh, you don't use ./configure but ports. Then you should help maintainer of the port make things optional. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: sa...@bestpractical.com Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.

[rt-users] Get Value of Custom Field
Hello all, I am trying to write a custom action that pulls a custom value from a user and changes the new ticket's priority based on that value. Below is the code I've written so far. It does successfully pull values (The -Count method returns the correct number of values), but I can't GET the values out. -Next just returns an empty variable. Any ideas? Thanks, ~Sam my $currentTicket = $self-TicketObj; my $currentUser = new RT::CurrentUser; $currentUser-LoadByEmail( $currentTicket-RequestorAddresses() ); $RT::Logger-debug(I found the user: . $currentUser-Name); my $CF_Obj = RT::CustomField-new($RT::SystemUser); $CF_Obj-Load( '3' ); $RT::Logger-debug(Name of found CF Object is: . $CF_Obj-Name() . Created on . $CF_Obj-Created); my $startPriority = ($CF_Obj-ValuesForObject( $currentUser )); $RT::Logger-debug( There are . $startPriority-Count . objects); ___ http://lists.bestpractical.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rt-users Community help: http://wiki.bestpractical.com Commercial support: sa...@bestpractical.com Discover RT's hidden secrets with RT Essentials from O'Reilly Media.
