RT 3.6.3 default queue setting and quick ticket creation

We are fairly new users of RT and have not tried much customization yet.
The 2 default queues General and External are all we use.

2 things bothering me:-

  1. the default queue setting can’t find it.
  2. ‘Quick ticket creation’ OR ‘new ticket’

These are related since we just have 2 queues.
but when we use either of the methods 1) or 2) above to created a ticket
they alwas default into the External queue.

How do we change this?

I have seen a web pages about a patch to do this, is this really
necessary?

thanks
Oliver

To suggest one answer to my own question 2)
Dane Rapaport in a previous post gave this:
His version was slightly different prob using an older version of RT.
I did similar kludge!! :wink:
make backup copy of Queues_Overlay.pm in lib/RT
edit around line 80

By default, order by name

$self->OrderBy( ALIAS => ‘main’,
FIELD => ‘Name’,
ORDER => ‘DES’);
Change order to DES as above and restart apache.On Tue, 23 Oct 2007, o.nash@cs.ucc.ie wrote:
