I realise this will be sloooowww but i did it before with 3.6 and want to
do it again

Google is being very unkind to me today and the archives are not helping
either

I think my previous fix was ugly but I don’t have access to the info - and
the new search tool will change whats required too

The wiki makes mention of various ways to include resolved tickets but is
silent on the content search

So to summarise I want the default behaviour to do

Any content (fulltext) of any ticket of any status

Thanks

Dave

you have to modify the method “QueryToSQL” in lib/RT/Search/Googleish.pm
for this.

Hi,

I am not able to add hyperlink using RT web interface. If I add a hyperlink
using FCK editor, at the receiving end I am not able to see any hyperlinks.
I am getting a plain text mail without any hyperlinks. I have installed RT
3.8 in Debian lenny

Looking for your help

Thanks in advance…

Hello,

I need to grant access to 10 different users (each one has his RT
account) to any ticket opened by one of them. They just want to have
access, not to receive emails, so adding them as admincc or requestor
in a scrip is not sufficient.

Any idea regarding the best way to implement this ?

Many thanks !

L.B.

Hi,

Just updated to RT 3.8.6, all looks well but on rt 3.8.0 all users were
listed in select box and transaction history as username i.e aguise for
myself. RT 3.8.6 is displaying the full name (Aaron Guise) . Our users
are so used to the old format and they really want it back. Can someone
point me to the file in which I can amend this? I found this snippet in
RT_Config.pm and basically I need to find the procedure is so I can alter
it
to get the username instead.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

=item C<$UsernameFormat>

This determines how user info is displayed. ‘concise’ will show one of
either NickName, RealName, Name or EmailAddress, depending on what exists
and whether the user is privileged or not. ‘verbose’ will show RealName
and
EmailAddress.

=cut

Set($UsernameFormat, ‘concise’);


Regards,

Aaron

Hi Aaron,

We had the same problem here. It was a bit odd that the old format
is not one of the options. Here are the changes we made for 3.8.5
that will probably work in 3.8.6 as well:

cp RTHOME/share/html/Elements/ShowUser → local/html/Element/ShowUser

Patch as follows:

— share/html/Elements/ShowUser 2009-10-13 12:24:43.000000000 -0500
+++ local/html/Elements/ShowUser 2009-10-27 10:13:58.000000000 -0500
@@ -60,6 +60,9 @@
if ( $style eq ‘concise’ ) {
$m->comp( ‘/Elements/ShowUserConcise’, User => $User );
}
+elsif ( $style eq ‘old’ ) {

  • $m->comp( ‘/Elements/ShowUserOld’, User => $User );
    +}
    else { $m->comp( ‘/Elements/ShowUserVerbose’, User => $User ); }
    </%INIT>
    <%ARGS>

and here is ShowUserOld:


<%INIT>
if ($User) {
my $printable;
if ( $User->EmailAddress && $User->EmailAddress ne $User->Name ) {
$printable = $User->Name . ’ <’ . $User->EmailAddress .‘>’;
}
else {
$printable = $User->Name
|| $User->EmailAddress
|| $User->RealName
|| $User->NickName;
}
$m->out( $m->interp->apply_escapes( $printable, ‘h’ ) );
}

</%INIT>
<%ARGS>
$User => undef
$Address => undef

I realize this is an open ended question here. I’m looking for a way to
hide custom fields until necessitated by the choice of a value in
another custom field. Is their a way to do this with Scrips or do I
need to dig into the config files? Or is this some capability that
hierarchal custom fields will provide when I upgrade at some point? So
what I’m really getting at, is should I just wait till I upgrade.
Thanks!

Hierarchical Custom Fields just allow you to change the options
available in Custom Field B based on your selection in Custom Field A.

Hiding or showing CFs based on selection values would require custom
hacking.

Lets assume I have set up user Joe Bloggs.

I added joe.bloggs1@example.com; joe.bloggs2@example.com as the email

user configuration.

However, RT only ever notifies joe.bloggs1@example.com

You can’t do this.

You can have two users and use RT-Extension-MergeUsers to merge the
two and have RT look up the secondary address to find the primary
user.

Rifaqat,

Do they actually mean Request Tracker or are you perhaps looking at
Real-Time software?

I’m also confused as to why I’ve received this mail off-list as well.

The mail has come from the same name and a different email address.
