Making the NotifyActor config option a user preference

RT Developers
1

I tried adding the following code to my RT_SiteConfig.pm to see if I can
make the NotifyActor config option a user preference:

package RT::Config;
{ $META{‘NotifyActor’} = {
Section => ‘Mail’, #loc
Overridable => 1,
Widget => ‘/Widgets/Form/Boolean’,
WidgetArguments => {
Description => ‘Receive own posts’, # loc
Hints => “Toggles whether you want to receive copies of your own messages” #loc
}
};
}

This did successfully add the option to the “Mail” preference box, but
it does not seem to have an effect when RT sends email. Is there
something wrong with this?

Also, while trying to figure out what was wrong, I think I found a small
bug, but fixing it did not seem to help. See attached patch.

The issue you are running into is that you need to pass the current
user context to RT->Config->Get, otherwise it just uses the system
setting.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks! I tried your patch on our 3.8.6 server and it works perfectly.
