Modified BugList.html and Global Custom Fields

RT Users
1

Hello all,

First of all I will admin that I am not very good with Perl. It’s something I
am trying to learn in my non-existent free time.

Tonight I saw Jesse’s Buglist.html. This was the one thing that was keeping my
boss from letting me move our security database to RT. So I started hacking
away. What I was trying to accomplish was to simply print out new and open
tickets from all the queues for our help desk to look at. I got most of this
working except for one problem. We have about 15 Global Custom fields that we
use in our tickets. But for the life of me I can’t get any of the values to
print out. I’m sure I’m just not calling something correctly. And I’m sure
it’s probably a 5 minute thing but I don’t have any idea.

I tried to use the serverity field as an example changing the values to my
global field but I don’t get anything when buglist displays.

I have attached my modified source to buglist.html. Can anyone tell me or show
me an example of out to get the values of custome field out.

thanks
Jason

Looking at my log files when I try to run it I see:

Apr 10 00:14:04 gamma RT: Couldn’t load from the users database.
(/opt/rt3/lib/RT/CurrentUser.pm:111)

And the relevant snippet of code from CurrentUser.pm:

sub UserObj {
my $self = shift;

unless ($self->{'UserObj'}) {
    use RT::User;
    $self->{'UserObj'} = RT::User->new($self);
    unless ($self->{'UserObj'}->Load($self->Id)) {
        $RT::Logger->err($self->loc("Couldn't load [_1] from the

users database.\n", $self->Id));
}

}
return ($self->{'UserObj'});

}

}}}

That’s as far as I got debugging…hope this helps.

Umm, I’m not sure that is the problem. I have a guest user and they have
rights to read tickets. When I load up
the page I can see tickets. I can get any of the default fields just
fine. For instance I can get the ID, Status, Subject, with out
any problems. I just don’t seem to be able to access the custom
fields. I have even tried giving the guest user SuperUser access
to see if it was a permission problem but it doesn’t seem to make any
difference.

I just took another look at (so I wouldn’t wake up a 3 am thinking about
it). The problem appears to be taht you are setting $user to guest via
CurrentUser and the you do a

my $tickets = new RT::Tickets($user);

which just looks up the tickets for guest. If I set it to be my userID I
get a list of tickets.
