[rt-users] Fwd: RT CLI login

[Dave Florek]

Hi,

So, I created the .rtrc file as requested but I'm still receiving the
following:

rt: Server error: Can't connect to localhost:443 (certificate verify
failed) (500)

How do I allow the RT CLI program to accept https connection certificates
and/or what would be the easiest way to drop https to login via RTCLI?

Thanks,

One workaround would be to use the RT::CustomRole-1 syntax (where 1 is the 
role’s ID) in the ScripAction argument.

I’ve made a ticket for adjusting how the argument parsing works, since you’re 
right, that is a bit limiting: 
https://issues.bestpractical.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=31997

Two options:

Load the role by name:

my $role = RT::CustomRole->new($CurrentUser);
$role->Load(“TransferOperators”);
$Ticket->RoleGroup($role->GroupType);

or specify the internal ID directly:

$Ticket->RoleGroup(“RT::CustomRole-1”);

This will return an RT::Group object. If you only need email address(es), you 
can use $Ticket->RoleAddresses(“RT::CustomRole-1”) directly.

By the way, we’d love to hear more about how you’re using custom roles :)

Thanks!

[rt-users] RT Wikitext CF and newline character processing

[Peter Viskup]

Hello all,
just dig into the Wikitext CF processing. Configured the RT and
CKEditor using the wikia how-to [1] with some additional changes to
CKEditor configuration.

Just discovered one issue with the displaying the Wikitext CF via Web interface.

CKEditor add  on every newline by default (didn't find the
possibility to suppress that by configuration option) and the RT does
replacement of every newline character '\n' in CF value by ''
string (found in /opt/rt4/lib/RT/Interface/Web.pm in
ProcessColumnMapValue subroutine).

There are two ways to get it solved:
1) let CKEditor not to send  tag to RT
2) let RT not to replace \n by 

Ad 1)
Some advanced output filtering rules should be written.

Ad 2)
Looks like it is possible to disable the replacement by setting
'Escape' argument to 0, but not sure how to do that for Wikitext CF
only (/opt/rt4/share/html/Elements/ShowCustomFieldWikitext seems to be
the proper place for that).

Other workaround could be to call ScrubHTML subroutine defined in
Web.pm with disablement of the 'br' tag for Wikitext CF.

Any other thoughts or did somebody solve this issue already (other
than the styling change)?

More information:
"testxy\ntestza" is the text in RT's DB
"testxytestza" is the RT's HTML output
