10 newest unowned tickets per queue?

Hi all

As our setup is growing continually, we ran into a problem regarding the
display of the 10 newest unowned tickets on the Home screen. The problem
is that the overall ten newest tickets get into that list. But all the
tickets of queues that one has no permission to don’t show up.

That means, if there are 10 new tickets in other queues which I don’t
have permission for and the 11th would be one in my queue, the list
appears to be empty, even though I have a new ticket to work on. How can
this be fixed so that this list is built on tickets of queues which one
has access to?

TIA, Florian

I did this in a pretty ugly, tossed-together-in-10-minutes way. Works on
3.2.2, may need a little tweaking for 3.4.4. I can’t remember if that
was one of the ones I had to fix.

Feel free to clean this up or fix it. I stopped when it started working
for me.

I’m not sure that will work… It only seems like it will give you a
query that is the last queue of all queues.

What I did was “only show me unowned tickets in queues that I can own
tickets”. Here’s the code for what I did in
share/html/Elements/MyRequests (from 3.4.1, diff -c):

*** MyRequests 2005/07/05 23:47:16 1.11
— MyRequests 2005/10/04 21:56:46 1.12
*** 77,90 ****
<%init>
my $rows = $RT::MyRequestsLength;

! my $Query = “Owner = ‘Nobody’ AND ( Status = ‘new’ OR Status =
‘open’)”;

my $QueryString = ‘?’ . $m->comp(’/Elements/QueryString’,
Query => $Query,
— 77,102 ----
<%init>
my $rows = $RT::MyRequestsLength;

! # This next section of code will limit unowned tickets to only be
! # those that are in a queue that a user can own tickets in.
! my $q = new RT::Queues($session{‘CurrentUser’});
! $q->UnLimit;
! my @queues;
!
! while (my $queue = $q->Next) {
! if ($queue->CurrentUserHasRight( ‘OwnTicket’ )) {
! push( @queues, “Queue = '” . $queue->Name . “’” );
! }
! }

  • my $Query = "Owner = ‘Nobody’ AND ( Status = ‘new’ OR Status = ‘open’)
    AND ( " . join( " OR “, @queues ) . " )”;
    my $QueryString = ‘?’ . $m->comp(’/Elements/QueryString’,
    Query => $Query,

Alright, thanks a lot. I’ll try this today and post my results.
