I’ve been trying to get Minerva using RT for a bit now, however I’ve run
into a few feature requests that my users (read bosses) view as blockers.
Does anyone know of a plug in that would add an address book feature to the
BCC and CC fields when posting a ticket? Also, I need to know if there is a
way to add a drop down to the new ticket creation page to have pre-defined
subjects? This would allow users to select it in the case of a regularly
requested ticket. Thanks in advance.

Sounds like you may want RTx-EmailCompletion

You may be able to do this with RT-Extension-QuickCalls which adds
a homepage widget. Otherwise you’d have to hack up Ticket Create
or add JS

Hmmm, that might be a good option… Thanks, I’ll look into that one

I’ll likely need to hack the page looks like at this point. My boss wants a
more web2.0/AJAXy option for this, so looks like I need to add in some js…

We handled this by creating our own interface for users to submit
tickets rather than having them use the RT interface. It’s more user
friendly for non-technical staff anyway.
Our form asks the user a bunch of questions and assembles the
information into a ticket.

This sounds interesting to me. Did you do this as a separate web
application that communicates (sends the ticket) to RT via the RT REST API?

We have a few of these forms. Some are very simple forms that actually
just send email to RT.
Another one is sort of a hack and uses the RT Perl API which probably is
not the best way to do things at this point but it works.
Even just using email forms is pretty simple though. We hooked the form
into our campus authentication system so we get the username, and then
do an LDAP query so we can fill in a lot of the data and pre-populate
the form.
