CONTRIB: MyQueues

Howdy!

In line with the MyTickets and MyRequests portions of WebRT, here’s a
MyQueues module which displays the 25 highest priority unclaimed (e.g.
owned by Nobody) tickets in all queues that the current user is a
watcher on.

To use this module:

  • Copy it into your RT dir under WebRT/html/Elements/MyQueues.pm

  • Add it to your WebRT/html/index.html:

    <& /Elements/CustomHomepageHeader, %ARGS &> <& /Elements/MyTickets &>
  • <& /Elements/MyQueues &>

  • <& /Elements/MyRequests &>

And it should just work. =]

Enjoy!

This is nifty. Thanks, Jim! I implemented this and changed the Resolve link
to a ‘This is spam’ link that automatically kills tickets to make it easier
for us to clear those out. :slight_smile:

Woohoo!

Thanks for posting this. I’m just getting started implementing RT2
(moving from RT1) and examples like this really help me out in learning
how to customize it. Your MyQueues contribution adds an excellent feature
to the start page.

Howdy again!

As Ryan Morben was kind enough to point out, MyQueues was showing all
queues to anyone who wasn’t a watcher on any queue. Further poking at it
also taught me that I don’t know as much about how Queue->IsWatcher() as
I thought I did. I didn’t spot this myself as there aren’t any queues
here I don’t watch…more’s the pity.

However, an hour of learning enabled me to figure out a hack to solve
the problem while I go learn more about Queue->IsWatcher(). I’ve tested
this one on a couple of people who watch fewer queues than I do, and
it’s working. Really. =]

It also notes in the title of the box how many queues you’re watching; I
toyed with having it be invisible if you watch no queues, but I decided
that since MyTickets and MyRequests show up even if empty, it made more
sense to follow that behavior.

Anyway, enjoy!

MyQueues (1.72 KB)

This is great work and I love the ease of this addon! Now it brings up an
issue we haven’t touched on here. What is the difference between watchcc and
watchasadmincc ? ;)On February 7, 2002 07:17 pm, you wrote:

Okay that was uncalled for… I did this in reverse order… I posted a reply
before checking the website:

RT lets you set up Cc and Administrative Cc watchers globally and for each
queue. (Note that mail isn’t sent unless you define Scrips to send it).
Generally, Cc watchers are folks who get notifications of ticket updates and
can view the queue (though this, of course, depends on how you configure
things). Administrative Ccs are usually the folks who have rights to modify
tickets. Set up folks you want to get Cc or AdminCc mail as watchers for your
queue in “Configuration”/“Queues”/ / Watchers.

Blah!

Sorry bout that :)On February 8, 2002 09:26 am, you wrote:

Another nice modification to show the ‘Age’ of a ticket in the MyQueues
panel. Your queue watchers will like it. Add the following to
WebRT/html/Elements/MyQueues

Queue Status Age  

<%$Ticket->QueueObj->Name%>

<%$Ticket->Status%> <%$Ticket->CreatedObj->AgeAsString%> ...

Hello Andreas,

Is this also applicable to the latest version? I did not find MyQueues in there :wink:

That’s my bad, actually. I need to bundle it into a tarball with a

swamped at present and haven’t made time for it.

Hopefully I can nail it down this week or next.

Honestly, I don’t know as I’ve never had IBM’s httpdserver to play with.
The best I can tell you is that if the stock RT start page works, this
should work, too.

It does :slight_smile:

BTW, to all postgresql users on the list:
use postgresql 7.2
bump up ur shared memory to at least 512MB
run vaccum analyze full every 15 - 20 minutes (sic!)
and you will see an extreme speed increase

Definitely.

MB> bump up ur shared memory to at least 512MB

Depends on how much RAM you have. If you’re swapping your SHM
segments, it makes little sense – just let postgres fetch the data
from the disk itself.

If you can, tell your OS to make the SHM segments hard-wired physical
pages to eliminate the virtual memory overhead (FreeBSD can do this).

MB> run vaccum analyze full every 15 - 20 minutes (sic!)

No need for “full” vacuum anymore. RT never deletes rows, so you
don’t need to compact your tables to recover space from the deleted
rows. Any spaces left by updated rows will be reused after a plain
vacuum.

Once your DB is big enough, you don’t even need to run analyze more
than once per day or so. The statistics are just used by the query
planner to decide how to use indexes.

MB> and you will see an extreme speed increase

MB> btw … fastcgi is faster on my site than modperl by a factor of 3 …

Maybe because you’re sucking all of your RAM for your database… or
you’re running too many apps lumped into your apache. I have a
dedicated instance of apache for RT and it is incredibly fast, even
running under SSL.

With FastCGI, you just isolate the memory usage for RT to those
processes anyway, so the effect is the same as a seperate mod_perl-apache
instance.
