Re: [rt-users] Overriding files in lib/RT?

[Alex Hall]

Sorry, but can you clarify "run FCGI by hand"? Currently, I run spawn-fcgi
to specify the address, port, and location of the RT FCGI server. All that
gives me is a success or error message on initial start, but any subsequent
errors don't seem to be logged anywhere. This is the only way I know to get
the FCGI server running. How do you do it? I'd love a way that would give
me more information. Thanks.

Hi Alex,

Try running the fcgi process by hand and look for any errors. Sometimes,
the one function you pull has dependencies on other function in the file
which means that they would need to be in the new file as well. Running
it by hand gave a useful error for me.

Re: [rt-users] Overriding files in lib/RT?

Hi all,
Thanks for the responses, it's partially working. When I use my
Email_Local.pm, the server refuses to start, yet I have no errors. Running
it through Perl's checker reveals only:

Name "RT::Logger" used only once: possible typo at Email_Local.pm at line 31

Perl says everything else is fine. I pulled the single function I wanted to
modify out of the original Email.pm (ParseTicketId) and left it alone,
except for changing \s+ to \s* in the "if (my $@captures" line. As usual,
any errors that might be generated are going who knows where, so I'm not
sure where to start looking. As I said, Perl thinks this is fine save that
warning, but RT definitely doesn't. Any thoughts? Here's the file:


use strict;
use warnings;
no warnings qw(redefine);

package RT::Interface::Email;

#Takes a string and searches for [subjecttag #id]

#Returns the id if a match is found.  Otherwise returns undef.

sub ParseTicketId {
my $Subject = shift;

my $rtname = RT->Config->Get('rtname');
my $test_name = RT->Config->Get('EmailSubjectTagRegex') ||
qr/\Q$rtname\E/i;

# We use @captures and pull out the last capture value to guard against
# someone using (...) instead of (?:...) in $EmailSubjectTagRegex.
my $id;
if ( my @captures = $Subject =~ /\[$test_name\s*\#(\d+)\s*\]/i ) {
$id = $captures[-1];
} else {
foreach my $tag ( RT->System->SubjectTag ) {
next unless my @captures = $Subject =~
/\[\Q$tag\E\s+\#(\d+)\s*\]/i;
$id = $captures[-1];
last;
}
}
return undef unless $id;

$RT::Logger->debug("Found a ticket ID. It's $id");
return $id;
}

Re: [rt-users] Mason Cache clear

[Dunbar, Brian]

Thank you Landon, Torsten and Alex.  I checked the folder permissions under 
mason_data and set /obj to 770  to match the other two folders and restarted 
apache and it is working again. Thank you glad I am not in production yet.

Hi Brian,

Check what user apache2 runs as (probably www-data but depends on what distro

/opt/rt4/var/mason_data/obj directory (chown -R www-data:www-data 
/opt/rt4/var/mason_data/obj).

To make sure apache2 runs as www-data (or to find out what it does run as) 
check the output of "ps aux | grep apache2".  There will be one process running

Re: [rt-users] Mason Cache clear

[Alex Hall]

I'm a novice, but my guess is a permissions problem since the /obj
directory no longer exists. You erased it with that first command, I think,
and RT can't find/create it. Try re-creating it with mkdir, then restart
Apache again. If that fails, check the permissions on the obj directory;
the user under which RT runs should be able to control that folder. Again
though, I'm a novice.

Re: [rt-users] Overriding files in lib/RT?

[Nilesh]

To extend you should either add code in Email_Local.pm or Email_Overlay.pm.
If you name it as Email.pm then you have to copy all code from existing
module and modify it.

I'm not sure about differences between Overlay and Local but I think that
difference is for OO vs adding some functionality.

[rt-users] Overriding files in lib/RT?

[Alex Hall]

Hey list,
How would I override /opt/rt4/lib/RT/Interface/Email.pm? I created
/opt/rt4/local/lib/RT/Interface/Email.pm, but that doesn't seem to be
working. After clearing the mason cache, then restarting the server, my new
regex didn't work. I'll check that the change is correct, but all I did was
change a plus sign to an asterisk to require zero or more spaces instead of
one or more. It seems more likely that I didn't do something correctly in
making my own copy of the file in question. I've done this for templates,
but never for anything under the lib directory.

Re: [rt-users] Gmail website replies to tickets, Outlook creates new ones

[Alex Hall]

You're right. After looking at what showed up on RT, not what was in the 
subject fields of the two clients, I have the problem. I think.

It seems that Outlook is removing the space before the # (pound sign) in the 
subject tag. That is:
Re: [Graphics #400]
turns into
Re: [Graphics#400]

Looks like I get to play with the subject tag regex.

 Have you verified that the subject tag isn't getting stripped?
 There are two ways to identify a reply - one via the subject and other via
 in-reply-to header which most clients insert. In-reply-to isn't parsed by
 RT, so a custom code is needed for that.
 I got it from someone on this list and have implemented as a local
 customization.

Looks like I typed something wrong and that link leads to a 404.

The correct link is:

Re: [rt-users] Gmail website replies to tickets, Outlook creates new ones

[Nilesh]

You should inspect the headers in both cases. If they contain in-reply-to, you
can use that to solve the problem.

My problem originally was people in Cc replying to a mail sent to RT (and by
default, people in CC do not get auto reply email). This was successfully solved
by the in-reply-to patch. https://gist.github.com/nileshgr/637cdacd1aa7710343aed
e20cabb66a6

Just save that file in local/lib/RT/Interface/Email_Local.pm and restart RT.

Re: [rt-users] Gmail website replies to tickets, Outlook creates new ones

[Nilesh]

I don't think Re matters. As long as subject tag is intact it should get
parsed correctly.

Re: [rt-users] Gmail website replies to tickets, Outlook creates new ones

[Alex Hall]

I looked more closely at the difference. Outlook is stripping off the "Re: " 
part of the message subject in the reply, whereas Gmail leaves it on. That's 
the only difference I can find, but it must matter. I guess this is more an 
Outlook question now, unless there's something I can change in RT to make it 
not care about the Re: part of a reply?

[rt-users] Gmail website replies to tickets, Outlook creates new ones

[Alex Hall]

Hey all,
I made a custom template with mailto: links in it, that comes from
nore...@example.com. The mailto: links populate the to: and subject: fields
of the new message as they should, and when the new email is sent, a
comment appears on the ticket. At least, if the user does this from the
Gmail website (our domain mail is handled by Gmail). If the user is on
Outlook, however, the "reply" gets turned into a new ticket. I can't see
what the difference is, since the mailto: link is the same. We're on
Outlook 2007, at least the few stations I've asked so far use 2007. Has
anyone ever seen this before? Any troubleshooting suggestions? Thank you.

[rt-users] AllowSorting not working properly

[Dimitris Maniadakis via rt-users]

--- Begin Message ---
Hello,
I would like to allow the user in the SelfService to be able to sort of the 
Asset List. (RT 4.4.1rc) 

In the file /html/User/Elements/AssetList I modified "AllowSorting" value to 
"1", but sorting does not work properly.

I believe this behavior is a bug. What do you think?

p.s. Of course I have cleared the Mason Cache and I have set $DevelMode to "1".


Regards,
Dimitris
