Custom My Day Page

RT Developers
1

I would like to add a tool to RT for entering some simple day.

I would like to start with a copy of the MyDay.html tool and change the
status searched for to resolved. This page would live under Tools next to
the My Day page.

Is this possible, and/or feasable?

Thanks,

Yes. It’s actually pretty trivial. copy MyDay.html to a new name in local/

Change the LimitStatus lines at the bottom of the file to suit your tastes,
presumably with an added condition limiting it ‘today’.

Then use the Tools/Elements/Tabs/Default callback to add it to the menu e.g;

<%init>
$tabs->{‘MMD’} = { title =>“My My Day”,
path => “Tools/MyMyDay.html”,
description =>“My Day for recently resoled tickets” };
</%init>
<%args>
$tabs
</%args>

Perfect, except the menu item does not show up after changing the tabs file.

That’s not much detail to go by. Where did you actually put it? etc.

Sorry,

I tend to think people just “know” what I am thinking.

Here is what I did…

  1. Navigated to //share/html/Tools/Elements directory.
  2. Edited the Tabs text file below…
  3. Added item e below
  4. Restarted Apache
