Pressing the ticket Create button twice creates the same ticket twice

Dear list,

My environment:

RT 3.8.8
Perl 5.8.8
apache 2.2.8
FastCGI 2.4.6
OS: Ubuntu or SuSE (same behaviour)

I have a problem with the ticket creation. The following situation:

A user wants to create a ticket and clicks the create button. Because of a slow network connection the response takes some seconds. The user is impatient and presses the create button again. → Two tickets with different id’s but same content are created. The user can create the same ticket as long as the response from the first create has come back.

This did not occur in RT 3.4.6.

Is there any way to deactivate the create button until the request has finished?

Thanks for any help.

Best regards,

Hi,

Try attached patch. Check if it works and let it roll for a while. If
it works and there are no objections from other developers then I’ll
push it into the core.

Don’t forget to clean mason cache and restart web server.On Fri, Oct 15, 2010 at 10:33 AM, Markus.Kummer@t-systems.com wrote:

RT-3.8-disable_submit_buttons_to_avoid_multiple_submits.patch (1.19 KB)

Hi Ruslan,

sorry for the late response but I was out of office for a week.

I tried the patch and it is working for the purpose it is made for. Only one ticket is created at a time.
But there are many side effects too:

If you create a “New Search” (same for “Edit Search”) and press the buttons

  • “Add these terms and search” (Below the “Add Criteria” box)
  • “Update format and search” (At the right lower corner of the page)

the page is reloaded only and the results are not shown.
The “Show Results” button at the horizontal navigation at the top of the page works.

If you write a “Comment” and you press the “Update Ticket” button the page is reloaded either and the comment is not applied to the ticket.
The same with the “Reply”, “Forward” and “Resolve” functions.
If you press “Save Changes” under “Configuration” → “Custom Fields” while editing a custom field: same misbehaviour.

The “Update” button under the “Bulk Update” is working.

I cleared the cache and restarted apache before.
