Changes to allow selecting a requestor from drop downlist

Kelly_F_Hickel · August 24, 2005, 12:27am

I’d be quite curious to see a version that uses livesearch to 1)
not
break the experience for users without javascript and 2) doesn’t
build a
list of every user in the system for every page with a select
requestor
widget.

By livesearch, are you referring to some implementation of AJAX?

No, I guess AJAX requires JS as well.

But, you see, it doesn’t break for users who don’t have
javascript.

Oh. Ok. You did mean “some implementation of AJAX”.

I was looking into that idea as well, but I’m not an AJAX master.
Hopefully, someone who is will get itchy for that before me.

Hmm, Somehow I missed most of this thread, but then, I’m traveling on
business. I had originally written this stuff over a year ago, but
after replacing a couple of machines, I found that I didn’t have it when
it was time to build the new RT instance, so I just whacked it together
again.

I’m not sure what “livesearch” is, and I guess I sort of thought that
this did fit into AJAX, but I haven’t had time to read up much about
AJAX (I have some nifty sites bookmarked though! ;>). Anyway, this one
works fine for us, I’d be happy to see an improved version though…

Kelly,

Awesome little modification this. Love it. The one thing I am trying
to get to grips with is, presently it can only have requestors from the
Privileged user set (or at least that’s the effect I am getting).

How would I allow it to also view non-privileged users (i.e. ppl who
would be presented with the Self-Service interface if they logged in
themselves)?

Thanks heaps mate.

I just put on the wiki a set of changes to allow call center folks to
chose a requestor from a drop down list when creating a ticket, as
opposed to typing in the email address. It’s at the URL below in case
someone else can use it.

Ben,

        Well, the line below with WhoHaveRight limits the list of

users to those that can create tickets. In my setup, that’s everyone.
You’d need to limit this in a way that would fit your situation…

my $Users = RT::Users->new($session{CurrentUser});
$Users->WhoHaveRight(Right => ‘CreateTicket’, Object => $object,
IncludeSystemRights => 1, IncludeSuperusers => 0);
while (my $User = $Users->Next()) {
