In December of last year, there was some discussion[1] of automatically
creating links from URLs that appear in ticket contents. Has this been
proposed/considered/rejected as a feature for RT? Could this been done
with Scrips?
Thanks,

You know, I’m not even sure that it’s what you mean, but the idea of
creating RT “Refers to” links from the content of the ticket is just great.
it can definitely be done with a scrip. and I’d love to see someone put it
together. (I may not get to it for a while, myself)

Okay, I’ll take a stab.

I think Marc was asking that URLs embedded within e-mails have appropriate
HTML slapped around them before they are written to the DB.
Regarding what you’re suggesting, Jesse, I’m a bit foggy what you mean,
but it sounds cool. Could you clarify? I may have time to handle it if I
can get a better grasp of what it is.

nod I know. Though actually, you’d be better off doing that processing on
display. I suspect there’s actually a single flag that could get passed to mason
to make it DTRT there.

RT’s “Relationships” functionality is great for linking tickets to other tickets. But. that’s not the only thing you can use it for. You can link tickets
to external URIs. (Like http://fsck.com or something custom like
fsck.com-kb://kb.fsck.com/article/23) and can define custom handlers to do
things with those URIs. But the basic idea is to parse out URLs on ticket submiussion and add them as “Refers To” links.

I can try it either way (as part of the display routine, or as a script to
add a “Refers To” on correspondence) – which would people prefer?

Just as a note, I have only looked at this for a few minutes, but I am
pretty sure that this would be the easiest for the display routine… just
define a filter that looks for http:// or ftp:// or www. or ???@???.com and
makes the appropriate html around it… look at:

(It looks relatively simple, and you could do it in just the areas of RT
where you display the tickets…)
