[rt-users] Overriding CSS in ticket display?

2010-10-14 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
 I have some tickets that have HTML (coming from email, which was pasted
from Word), so they have lots of ... which RT
displays with a 1em margin, so they get really spaced out.  I can easily
fix that in main.css or ticket.css like this:

p.MsoNormal {
  margin: 0px 0px;
}

but how can I make that fix resist being overwritten by new versions of RT?

Doh, sorry about that.  3.8.2 on Ubuntu 8.04.  I didn't realize there
were callbacks for CSS -- how's that even work?!

Hmm, can't get it to work for me.  Tried local/rt/html as you have
above, and just local/html where all my other callbacks are... doesn't
seem to load my file into main-squished.css.  (Yes, I'm restarting

Got it.  It goes in local/html/Callbacks/MSfix/NoAuth/css/web2/main.css/End.
(and ticket.css isn't overridable in that way, has to be main.css I think)

[rt-users] performance: REST vs. cmd line

2011-01-11 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
We're working on some reporting, and have discovered that the REST interface 
for simple ticket queries is around 400x slower than using the command line 
interface.  I wonder why this is, since I'd prefer to use the REST interface.

System: Linux Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy)
CPU: Core 2 Duo, 2.0GHz
RAM: 2GB
RT: 3.8.2
Config: Apache2, mod_perl, mysql
DBIx:SearchBuilder etc. are all up to date

Both command line and the curl/REST method are running on the same machine as 
RT (apache and the database).  We already have the HTTP basic-auth session auth 
cookie for REST, so that's not where the time's going.  Our apache server is 
fine for the other services it runs.  The CLI takes milliseconds, but REST 
takes several seconds on average (with large variance).

Any idea where I should look for the bottleneck?

thanks,

-- Gary Oberbrunner

I kept poking at it, and sure enough there were a couple of errors in our tests 
that were causing the supposed time differences.  Now that those are fixed, the 
times are the same, as one would expect.  Sorry for the trouble.

[rt-users] Javascript files give "syntax error": not substituted?

2007-07-06 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
I'm pretty new at RT.  Just installed 3.6.4 on Linux FC4, MySQL, apache,
mod_perl.  RT pretty much all works, except the JavaScript hide/show
stuff doesn't.  That seems to be because all the js files in
/rt/NoAuth/js use "%" as a comment char and seem to need some kind of
text-substitution.  But they're coming through unmodified to the client
side.  Here's one such error:

Error: syntax error
Source File: http://my.domain/rt/NoAuth/js/util.js
Line: 1
Source Code:
%# BEGIN BPS TAGGED BLOCK {{{

Are these files supposed to get processed on the server before getting
sent to the client?  My httpd config is very simple (my RT runs in
http://my.domain/rt):

Alias /rt "/opt/rt3/share/html"
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl

  RewriteEngine On
  RedirectMatch permanent (.*)/$ $1/index.html
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler RT::Mason



So what have I misconfigured?

thx,

Thanks, Kevin -- that looks like exactly what I need.  I'll try it.  Does
anyone have a sample Callbacks/*/Elements/Ticket/ShowTransaction/ModifyDisplay
callback?  I don't really understand the calling convention, i.e. what are the
args and what I'm supposed to return.  Should I write a function, or is it
just bare Mason/perl code?  What are %INIT% and %ARGS% (I see those in some
other callbacks)?  Where do I get the actual ticket text (message body)?

(I looked at the rt wiki page "CustomizingWithCallbacks" and it explains the
proper file/dir to put the callback in, but doesn't say what it should look 
like.)

thx,

[rt-users] How does RT find an existing ticket for a new email?

2007-07-10 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
Hi folks.  Quick question: I know RT can use the subject line [rt #XX] to find
an existing ticket for an incoming email, but if that's missing, e.g. because
the customer just emailed me about the ticket, can RT figure it out in other
ways, using email headers like References, In-Reply-To or Thread-Index?  Where
in the source would that be?

That sounds like a start.  If I were going to do this (hmm...) I think I'd
start by pulling out all the tickets for that sender, and first look at the
headers (In-Reply-To etc.) to see if I could find a match, and then try fuzzy
matching on the content.  In our world, we don't expect to have that many
tickets per sender, so it might work.

Maybe some day rt could get callbacks in the email ingestion routine so there
could be plugins to do this kind of thing?  (Maybe it has them now & I just
don't know it!)

Thanks for the ideas!

[rt-users] On Correspond/Comment Notify Owner?

2007-07-12 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
Hi folks -- I'd like rt to notify the owner if correspondence or comments come
in, but not if the correspondence/comments are by the owner.  Possible?  Easy?

Actually what I'd like is if *anything* changes in the ticket and the change
is by someone else, I'd like the owner to get notified.  Do I need a scrip per
change type or is there one global condition?

I just tried this, and it doesn't seem to work, at least in my RT.  I sent an
email from the requestor's email address with [rt #12] in the subject, and it
got into ticket 12, but the owner never got an email, and rt didn't record an
email as going out to them.

Maybe that scrip got deleted somewhere.  I'll put it in & see what happens.

I'll try that one too; thanks!  You didn't have to do anything to prevent
getting emails about your own comments on tickets you own?

Awesome, thanks!  (root is 12 on my 3.6.4 also.)  I notice there's no mention
of CreatorObj in the RT::Transaction section of the POD... maybe because it
inherits from RT::Record I guess.  Much to learn.

[rt-users] Reminders?

2007-07-19 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
Hi folks, I'm wondering how Reminders are intended to be used.  I set a
couple, one soon and one far in the future.  I didn't get any email or
notifications for the soon one when it expired; am I supposed to?

And for the future ones, I'd expect RT to only show my "upcoming" reminders,
not the long future ones.  Is that possible?

Also they don't "expire" when they are in the past; is that intentional?  I
guess I just don't know the "best practical" way to use them :-) so any advice
is appreciated.

[rt-users] Use attachment as original message?

2007-07-23 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
Hi -- we've just cut over to using RT as our helpdesk system, and so far so
good.  Perhaps someone on this list could help with workflow enhancement that
would be nice.  Sometimes users email our support staff directly, rather than
using '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'.  The support person then typically forwards that
email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get it into trac (especially if they're
traveling or it's a weekend and they don't have easy access to the web
interface).

What would be cool would be if, when trac gets an email from an authenticated
user and it contains an attachment (maybe with some special text in the body),
it would parse the attachment as the ticket rather than the containing email.
 That would set the requestor correctly automatically, so we don't have to go
into the ticket and fix it manually, and it would also make the ticket
"cleaner" with less junk around the original submission.

Is there perhaps already an add-on to do this?  Or maybe I can modify the
email to trac parser?  I'm not bad with perl, so if there are examples of
detecting and getting attachments and how the regular parser works, that would
probably get me going.

Thanks!

Thanks Toby -- that's not a bad idea.  We do mostly use Tbird, but
unfortunately I can't make everyone install the extension and use it :-(, and
besides some of them are on Macs, especially on the road.  Still, it may help
until a centralized RT solution comes along.

I also thought about extending the RT commands-by-email extension; that might
work, if I can learn enough about how it works.

[rt-users] Query to find open tkts where customer hasn't been replied to

2007-08-08 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
I'd like to make a query to find all open tickets where the customer's been
waiting for a reply for longer than N hours.  It looks to me like Told is the
last time the customer was replied to, and LastUpdated is the last time
anything happened in the ticket.  So I tried this, in the Edit Query view:

  Queue = 'support' AND Status = 'open' AND Told + 1 < LastUpdated

but when I apply the changes, RT says "Error near ->LastUpdated<- expecting a
VALUE in ' Queue = 'support' AND Status = 'open' AND Told > LastUpdated'
 I'm lost"

which is cute, but doesn't help me make my query.  How can I do this?  It's
pretty straightforward SQL, but I'm not sure how to make a straight SQL query
from the interface.  Is there a mode where I can mark a query as "just submit
it to the database as a WHERE clause, don't try to interpret it"?

Or is there a better way to do what I'm looking for?

thx,

Simple, but unfortunately it mostly gets the cases where we're waiting for the
customer and not the other way around.

I'd be happy if I could say LastUpdatedBy <> Owner too...

Thanks for the reply, James.

Not that it hasn't been updated, but specifically the customer updated
the ticket (via email normally) and nobody's answered them.  They're
waiting for a response.  I don't care if a ticket hasn't been updated
for a couple of days, as long as we were the last ones to email the
customer (i.e. the ball's in their court).

If there were specific ticket states for who last updated the ticket
that would help.  Or if I could check LastUpdatedBy <> Owner that would
do it too.

Isn't this a common thing, to want to find the open tickets that aren't
being handled in a timely fashion?

[rt-users] Upgrading from 3.8.2

2010-09-02 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
Hi folks; we've been running 3.8.2 for ages now, and would like to
upgrade to the latest version.  We're reasonably small so upgrading
isn't a huge deal for us.  My question is, should we upgrade to 3.8.8 or
use something newer?  Is there going to be a 3.9 or 3.10 soon (or even
4.0)?  I'm comfortable using git and building from source if that is
anywhere close to reasonably stable.  We run RT on Ubuntu 8.04 with
mysql so it's a pretty vanilla install.

Any advice appreciated; thanks!

2007-04-26 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
Found my problem.  Turns out I had an old DBIx::SearchBuilder installed in a
different dir (from an old Perl install), and somehow it was being used
instead of the new one.  I deleted the old DBIx, cleaned the Mason cache,
restarted httpd, and all's well now with Reminders.

hope that helps someone;

[rt-users] Email recipients confusing!

2007-05-01 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
Hi; I'm trying to set up RT at my company, for handling incoming support
requests from outside via email.  I'm using latest 3.6.3 on Linux.

I want to make sure that RT only sends the emails I want, to the people I
want.  I'm looking at the scrips, and I have some questions, probably simple.
First, I'm not sure how each group is defined:

 Requestors: the original sender of the email (from the From: header?)
   or the web creator of the ticket; anyone else?
 Owner: I understand this one :-)
 CCs: how do you get on/off this list?
 AdminCCs: how do you get on/off this list?
 Other Recipients: what is this?

Does commenting on a ticket or corresponding on it make you a Cc, perhaps?

Do CCs of the original mail get on the CC list automatically?

In the scrip Actions, what does "Notify ... as Comment" mean?

Are the built-in Scrips (Conditions and Actions) documented anywhere?

Is there any way to disable a Scrip without deleting it?  I like to see what
options I have, and what I've customized.

I'm pretty sure that the only emails I want RT to send to the requestor are
ones that someone (owner normally) entered into RT; i.e. no autoreply on
create, nor on resolve.  I want it to seem like they emailed us, and someone
replied to them -- not like it's an automated system.
That is this script, I think:
  On Correspond Notify Requestors and Ccs with template Correspondence
as long as the Ccs are normally unset.

And I want the new owner to get an email if a ticket gets assigned to them:
  On Owner Change Notify Owner with template Transaction

... and lastly, if someone here comments on a ticket, the other people here
watching that ticket should get an email:
  On Comment Notify ? as Comment with template Comment

[rt-users] Re: Email recipients confusing!

2007-05-01 Thread Gary Oberbrunner
One more thing to add to my questions...  hope you folks don't mind.

I'd like my people here to be able to reply to a ticket from their own email
instead of the web interface sometimes, and cc RT so it goes into the record
of the ticket.  If they do that, should they just cc support-rt-comment
instead of support-rt, to prevent RT from forwarding that email to the
requestor and others?  Or is there a Condition I can use (or write) to tell
whether a certain transaction originated via email or web?

thanks;

And I'm guessing anyone who updates the ticket gets auto-added or something.
Thanks for the help!  I think I'm almost ready to roll it out.

OK, that's confusing (at least to me)!   What's the point then of
differentiating between (say) Notify AdminCcs as Comment, and Notify
Requestors as Comment?  Nobody actually gets notified at all really.  In fact,
isn't this a noop:
  On Comment Notify AdminCcs as Comment with template Admin Comment
since the comment was already created?

thx again,

Will do -- sorry about that.  nntp works great, I'm replying to this msg from
the nntp feed now.  And thanks for the Cc clarifications!

I'm also interested in this; a ticket is more "interesting" if it's getting
old and the last updater is the originator, and less interesting if the last
updater is a tech here (since the originator may not care anymore or
something).  Ideally we'd like to auto-close any tickets a week or more old,
but ONLY if the last updater was a tech here.
