I installed the MergeUsers Extension from Jesse and then I noticed the
patch that Dirk has put up on the mailing list. I tried to run the
patch and it didn’t work. Im pretty new to this and have never tried to
use the patch command before. My question is should I be copying the
Modify.html file from /share/html/Admin/Users to the local directory and
then running the patch on it? Or does it run on the original file in
the share directory? Thanks everyone in advance, im pretty confused on
this one.

The mergeUsers Extensions will install a html/Admin/Users/Modify.html into
the local or shared directory (I dont know which), but you should not use
it because it is buggy. Instead you should use the
html/Admin/Users/Modify.html from the original RT installation an patch it
(before 3.6.5) or leave it as it is (>= 3.6.5, as the patch had been
applied in the distribution).
With this Modify.html a callback will be enabled that allows to add some
widget to the Admin/Users/Modify.html page.
Hence you only need to supply such a callback. The callback I had attached
to the mail with my patch will enable the mergeUser functionality that were
originally enabled by the Modify.html page supplied with mergeUsers.
To supply the callback just create the directory
/path/to/rt/local/html/Callbacks/MergeUsers/Admin/Users/Modify.html/ and
copy the file LeftColumnBottom from my mail in this directory.
After restarting apache and clearing mason cache, MergeUsers should be
functional.
