Custom Status

I have attempted to add the custom status with the method outlined below
but they are not showing up in my tickets. New or existing. I created
the Queue_Local.pm file and overrode the arrays with what is below. I
did notice that Queue_Overlay.pm has @DEFAULT_xxxxxx instead of what is
below. I restarted httpd after making the changes but I see no affect.

I am complete new to this (Perl and RT) so I assume that I am just not
aware of what I need to do to make these changes active. Any advise? I
am using RT 3.4.2.

Thanks,
Bruce

Hi Kelly,

There’s a pair of arrays in RT/Queue_Overlay.pm that define the
statuses
supported by RT. The default scrips and user interface do assume
that
you haven’t removed any of the shipping statuses.

Jesse, Do I understand you to be saying that I should be able to ADD
status values to the pair of arrays mentioned above (as long as I
don’t
change the existing ones, or their relative position), and things
should
“work”??? That would be “huge”…

Yes, you could do exactly that, if you choose to go that route.

You can create yourself a Queue_Local.pm file, and you can override
those arrays, like this:

Queue_Local.pm

@ACTIVE_STATUS = qw(new open stalled my_other_status);
@INACTIVE_STATUS = qw(resolved rejected deleted yet_another_status);
@STATUS = (@ACTIVE_STATUS, @INACTIVE_STATUS);

1; # the file needs to end with this

Good luck,

You need to restart your webserver so RT will notice the changes in the
file.

Cheers,

Tom,

That was the first thing I tried. I have also rebooted (for other
reasons) and it is still not showing up.

Under 3.4.2 I made this change in rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm. Same rules
apply. Keep the relative position and only add.

Paul C.

I have tried adding

@ACTIVE_STATUS = qw(new open stalled pending);
@INACTIVE_STATUS = qw(resolved rejected deleted);
@STATUS = (@ACTIVE_STATUS, @INACTIVE_STATUS);

As well as

@DEFAULT_ACTIVE_STATUS = qw(new open stalled pending);
@DEFAULT_INACTIVE_STATUS = qw(resolved rejected deleted);
@DEFAULT_STATUS = (@DEFAULT_ACTIVE_STATUS, @DEFAULT_INACTIVE_STATUS);

to rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm and have restarted httpd and the "pending’
status is not showing up.

What am I leaving out or doing wrong???

The rt-users Archives

Be sure to check out the RT Wiki at http://wiki.bestpractical.com

I have tried adding

@ACTIVE_STATUS = qw(new open stalled pending);
@INACTIVE_STATUS = qw(resolved rejected deleted);
@STATUS = (@ACTIVE_STATUS, @INACTIVE_STATUS);

As well as

@DEFAULT_ACTIVE_STATUS = qw(new open stalled pending);
@DEFAULT_INACTIVE_STATUS = qw(resolved rejected deleted);
@DEFAULT_STATUS = (@DEFAULT_ACTIVE_STATUS, @DEFAULT_INACTIVE_STATUS);

to rt3/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm and have restarted httpd and the "pending’
status is not showing up.

What am I leaving out or doing wrong???

Did you delete the mason cache?

No. I could not find any details on how to do this either.

Start apache.On Tue, Aug 02, 2005 at 08:43:45AM -0400, Bruce Rudd wrote:

Todd,

Thanks, I suspected that is what I needed to do. However, I still am
not seeing the new status.

Should I be setting

@DEFAULT_ACTIVE_STATUS = qw(new open stalled pending);

Or

@ACTIVE_STATUS = qw(new open stalled pending);

Well, so far I am not having any luck getting this to work.

I have tried adding this to both Queue_local.pm and RT_SiteCongfig.pm.
I stopped Apache, deleted the Mason cache and then started Apache. I
still do not get my “pending” value in the status pulldown list.

If there is anyone that had gotten this to work that can provide me with
some detail description of what you did I would be very grateful.
