Re: [rt-users] Auto-open Resolved Ticket

2009-07-24 Thread Toby Darling
Hi Roehl

 - I resolved a ticket Subject: Windows Patches or Subject: get and
 renew certificates
 - I'll do it again after a month.
 - RT will re-open this ticket after a month.

I use the Due date field with a stalled status, and have a daily cron job:

#!/usr/bin/perl
my $cmd = '/usr/bin/rt list -i ';
my $qry = $cmd . qq/\status = 'stalled' AND due = 'today'\/;
my @res = `$qry`;
for (@res) {
chomp; 
 system (/usr/bin/rt edit $_ set status=open);
}

I'm sure someone will be along shortly with an rt_crontool solution, or 
something RESTful.

Cheers
Toby

[rt-users] Scrip for Merging bounces into existing tickets added to the wiki

2009-07-24 Thread Otmar Lendl

FYI,

I recently hacked up a small Scrip that tries to merge new tickets
generated by mail bounces into the ticket that generated the mail.

This is similar to what
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/RtBounceHandler is doing, just that
it's implemented as a scrip and not as an external program which runs
on incoming mail.

I've added my code to the RT wiki at 
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/BounceMerge

I hope someone else might find it useful, too.

Re: [rt-users] Auto-open Resolved Ticket

2009-07-24 Thread rmp dmd
Hi Toby,

Thanks for this.
Please confirm, if I understand your method correctly.

1. Instead of resolving the ticket, after getting my tasks done, put in on
stalled and set 'Due date' to next month.
2. the cron job will re-open this ticket after a month.

If the ticket is re-open, will it send out notification?

im doing the rt-list -i status = 'stalled' AND due = 'today'
on a command line but it's asking me for a password.
is my syntax correct?


Thanks!

[rt-users] Try to use ActivePerl

2009-07-24 Thread Sven Sternberger
Hi!

I tried on a test machine to utilize ActivePerl to get
rid of the RT vs. Operating System package hell.
So I installed ActivePerl and I put the path
to the ActivePerl in front, and started
configure. This looks good.

But 'make testdeps' gives me


/opt/ActivePerl-5.10/bin/perl ./sbin/rt-test-dependencies --verbose
--with-mysql --with-modperl2
perl:

When disabel CLI in gives me a similar error with dbi
so I tried LD_LIBRARY_PATH but without success, any idea how to fix?

 Bryan,
 
 Another suggestion. WE use AdminCc as the Queue/Project 
 managers. that way, we can assign rights to them that allow 
 them to change ACL for groups using the Queue, re-assigning 
 (steal) tickets, etc. I have a suggested rights list that 
 works for us in giving a basic hierarchy of rights (reduces 
 redundancy, etc.) and explains how some of the rights work 
 together (like CreateTicket, SeeQueue for creating 
 tickets via web). It is attached.
 We also developed a RT USER Guide for regular 
 users/developers which explains how to use the Query, using 
 Custom Fields, etc. with screen shots. This is all on 3.6.x 
 (Sorry. We're in the midst of testing 3.8.4 on our dev machine).
 Lots of luck.

   Bryan,
   
   I've one acronym for you ITIL.  It works for 
 supporting huge 
   dotcoms, all the way to small projects.  
 Typically you want 
   queues that pertain to the type of project that 
 is being 
   managed, you can spawn child tickets from parent tickets
   for use if sending to different groups.
   
 
   
   Bill,
   
   Thanks for your comments. Let's see if I get it.
   You're suggesting:
   Set up queues for different types of projects, e.g. 
 expansions, PCI systems, VME systems, Large-scale systems. 
   Set up groups for different business groups, e.g. 
 Sales, Engineering, Field Service
   The project manager create a top-level ticket, e.g. 
 Build a PCI system for customer X
   The project manager spawn children from that top-level 
 ticket and assign owners, e.g. Specify IO -- owner: 
 engineering, Unit test --
   owner: manufacturing etc.
   Yes?
   
   I checked out ITIL, and it looks like something worth 
 investigating, and possibly integrating with our ISO 9000 program. 
   
   rt-users,
   
   How does this compare to what you are doing?
   What problems would crop up with this solution?

Re: [rt-users] Signature for Reply only

2009-07-24 Thread Allen
 I'm looking for possibility to disable signature for comments and leave it
 enabled for replies only.

This way is working for me in 3.8.4.

Copy the distribution html/Elements/MessageBox from to the local
html/Elements directory. On Debian and Ubuntu, the local directory
(as installed by apt-get) is:

/usr/local/share/request-tracker3.8/html/Elements

In that file, you just add another condition to the spot where it
decides whether to insert a signature. The extra condition is and
$ARGS{'Action'} ne 'Comment'

Here is the patch:

 my $signature = '';
-if ( $IncludeSignature and my $text =
$session{'CurrentUser'}-UserObj-Signature and
- $ARGS{'Action'} ne 'Comment'
-) {
-
-# unnecessary to have sig in comment since it's internal only and the
name of the user is attached to the transaction
-
+if ( $IncludeSignature and my $text =
$session{'CurrentUser'}-UserObj-Signature ) {
$signature = -- \n. $text;
 }



From that old thread that you referenced

 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/rt/users/42269#42269

I think his way would also work -- copying the distribution version of
Ticket/Update.html to the local Ticket/ directory and then changing
line 143 from

 /Elements/MessageBox, Name=UpdateContent, %ARGS 

to

 /Elements/MessageBox, Name=UpdateContent, IncludeSignature = 0, %ARGS 


You will need to restart webserver for either method to take effect.

[rt-users] ModifyTicket required to close tickets?

2009-07-24 Thread Jo Rhett
I have repeatedly found problems where people can mistakenly affect  
large batches of tickets.   The answer provided by Best Practical has  
been to remove ModifyTicket right from people.  So after upgrading to  
3.8.4 I went ahead with this.

Now nobody can close tickets.   Yep, that's right -- can't even mark  
them resolved.  Brilliant.   Obviously this is a non-op, and I had to  
give the ModifyTicket right back to everyone.

BPS: what kind of patches will you accept to break ModifyTicket into  
some distinct rights groups so that normal operations: close tickets,  
reassign tickets, etc can be done by users, without giving them the  
rights to batch modify and update hundreds of tickets?

Gordon, I didn't demand anything.  I (for free, as you said) supplied

software does not function.   The person I was replying to was making  
an argument that this wasn't necessary, and my text quoted below was  
simply making the point that it was necessary.   Without the patch, db  
inconsistency can make loading tickets impossible.   And without the

tired or emotional about this, it's plain fact.

 weight
 for so long.

I wasted 5 minutes trying to get an account set up in their system  
before giving up.  I'm sorry, I'm not willing to waste hours and give  
up my first-born to send someone a comment.   They clearly think that  
accounts are very special things that we should be honored to have.  I  
think it's a PITA.

Re: [rt-users] Reassigning tickets as superuser

2009-07-24 Thread Jo Rhett
I've asked about this before and they seem unwilling to accept patches  
to fix this behavior.   But I totally agree with you ;-)

It seems there is no way to give someone permission to simply  
reassign a ticket which is already owned. No matter what, you must  
'steal' the ticket, then reassign it.


From a manager's perspective this is kind of a pain (I teased my  
boss I know it's a whole extra click!), would it be possible for  
this to be changed in an upcoming patch so that you can assign a  
permission which allows someone to reassign tickets even if they are  
not the owner?

Re: [rt-users] 3.8.3: Page not found

Check your WebPath setting.

 The below also appears in the RT Wiki 3.8.3 release announcement

 I have just done a fresh install of 3.8.3 on SLES10SP2/MySQL 5.0.26/ 
 Apache2. I keep getting The page you requested could not be found  
 when creating or replying to a ticket. The workaround is to remove  
 the extra /rt that is inserted into the browser's address line and  
 then things work fine. I have also tried fiddling with the  
 SiteConfig.pm to affect the pathing, but no go. The doc I have shows  
 two statements, Set($WebURL = ... and Set($WebImagesURL = ...  
 that Apache does not like, so I have to comment them out to start  
 the webserver. I get the same result w/both IE7 and Firefox 3.0.11.

 Any ides?

When you clicked on Report a new bug did you miss the email address
where you can send reports, no account required?

If you do not wish to register with Bitcard, please report your bug by
sending email to: bug-RT-Extension-ToggleSuperUser [at] rt.cpan.org.

Let us know if we could have made that clearer by sending a patch to
the RT-BugTracker-Public distribution

[rt-users] Using CLI : Custom field fails to enter?

2009-07-24 Thread Darafeyen
RT 3.6.7 running on Gentoo

Dear all,

I apologise if this question is an obvious one. After much searching, I
am hoping someone has a simple/short answer.

Trying to create a ticket from CLI, with one custom field in it
Custom field is called: Map

rt create -t ticket set Queue=Scripts Subject=New
Requestor=Darafeyen text=No info available. CF-Map=Weaving the
Pattern
Ticket 14 created

Similiarly, these dont work :
CF-Map='Weaving the Pattern'
CF-Map=Weaving

This creates the ticket, but does not populate the Map field. (it has no
value in it, when viewed)

Custom fields entered by the web interface do work, and are available
from both the web and CLI rt show as below. 

./rt show ticket/2 results in
snip
..
..
..
CF-Map: A New Beginning

Is it a real bug or a user Bug :) ?

Darafeyen
