To all,
I haven't heard from anyone yet. I'm on RT 3.6.6 and have set my
homepage configuration as:
Set($HomepageComponents, [qw(Quicksearch MySupportQueues MyReminders
RefreshHomepage)]);
"MyAdminQueues" does show as an option and neither does
“QuickCreate”, which is correct. However, on the bottom of every User’s
homepage, The “QuickCreate” option is there, even though it was not
selected (AND ALSO NOT available as a choice). I do not understand how
that can happen. Anyone with an idea on that problem? Thanks.

I suspect that was an option that existed in individual preferences.
Have you tried having a user hit the Reset to default button under their
At-a-glance prefs? Have you set defaults (or is that only a 3.8.x thing?)?
The config file option, I think, only displays what is available when
you set up your own page, I don’t believe it disables something which is
already set.

Drew,
Well, obviously, I could be wrong, but it was my understanding that the
point of the selection list for a home page was to determine what was to
be displayed. If it is NOT on the selection list and is NOT selected, I
don’t understand why it is displayed. I’m surprised no one else has
noticed this.

I meant the user had prefs set up before you changed the config file
option. AFAIK the config file option only lists what shows is
available, it doesn’t actually remove a pref that is already set
individually. Check in the Attributes table with select * from
Attributes where Name like ‘%HomepageSettings’; Those are serialized
preferences for the RT-at-a-glance pages.
One should be for RT::System, while any others will be for RT::User and
an id in the next field. I believe you can blow those away (after
backing up your db) to reset their views.
I can’t find it at the moment but I believe there was a write-up on the
wiki for how to reset those prefs for everyone to be what you want.

Drew,
Super info. Thanks. I'll test it out and see what happens. However, I
did have a user that was a first time use and her homepage also had the
“QuickCreate” at the bottom of the page. Anyway, as long as I can get
ride of it, I’ll be OK. Thanks again.
