Hi all–
I have some problems with timezones and two immediate questions:
-
is it true that all SetXXX methods of the Ticket class expect the time
in GMT (and do not use the $Timezone configuration to convert to GMT internally)?
-
Is there a way to have RT using local time for the log messages? lib/RT.pm
seems to make that impossible since it uses gmtime( time() ) to create the
time string for the log entry.
Before I change the sources, I’d like to know if there is a way to configure this.
-
Is it possible to set a user’s time zone? My RT users work in different time zones
and it would be nice if everyone would see the times in the Web-UI in her own
timezione.
Thanks for any help.
Jan

Perhaps stderr isn’t being logged.
Try starting apache with:
<apache_dir>/bin/httpd -X -f <apache_dir>/conf/httpd.conf 2>errfile
errfile = path and filename of error file
outputfile = path and filename of standard output file
start apache in single process mode and log errors to the stderr. Easier to
trace then

Ok. There are two tools that it’s worth using to attempt to debug what

I seem to have Apache::Dprof working, but I’m not getting any output from

I suspect it’s with the rt-mailgate. If you’re coming from rt2, the
rt-mailgate didn’t require the --url option. In rt3, it needs --url
http://localhost (or an equivalent url going to your rt.

Hi,
I installed rt-3.0.8 yesterday - I’ve used RT in the past without
problems and this was a fresh install.
I’m having a slight problem. I’ve got a distribution list that I would
like to be the Admin CC of a queue, and like all correspondence to go as
an e-mail to this list. Easy enough to do.
However, although the script and template should be correct, I am getting
a weird problem.
If I go into a ticket and press reply, type out whatever it is, and press
submit, then the correspondence get’s send to this list. Great.
However, when I e-mail the correspondence to the rt e-mail address, it
goes into the system (get’s added to the request) but doesn’t seem to
send it to the dist list.
Does anyone have any ideas why this would happen?
Thanks

No errors on the logs. No errors on the page. But an error on the browser
(client).
When one clicks on the link (pointing to the
Ticket/Attachments// which would be handled by
dhandler), the dialog box would open to say if you want to open or save the
file. If you try to open the file, it’ll be stuck in the progress dialog
box. If you click on ‘Save’, it would attempt to but fail.
I’m sure that the data in the MySQL is fine since I’m able to make a
program that queries the Transactions and Attachments table and is able to
be displayed/saved by the user.
Is there any gotchas with Solaris SPARC platforms with any of the perl
modules used? It may have to do with how the data is presented to the
client after it has left the DB.

Hello,
I’m not sure if anyone has encountered this before but I’ve encountered
attachments (non-text like MS Word, Zip) which cannot be downloaded in
RT3. I don’t see any logs that would show why. In RT2, I did not have
those kinds of problems.
Any clues?
Any errors?
No links on page?
Or download work, but data corruption?
Or browser give error message?
In which way they can’t be downloaded?
Best regards. Ruslan.

Another clean way to do it would be:
/local/html/Callbacks/Statistics/Elements/Tabs/Default
And in Default put:
<%init>
$toptabs->{‘CC-Statistics’} = { title =>loc(“Statistics”),
path => “Statistics/index.html” };
</%init>
<%args>
$toptabs =>undef
</%args>
That way one keeps the Statistics tabs away from any of the core elements.
In some cases, may need to restart webserver after adding.

Also, currently the statistics package implements it’s tab by
creating a local version of the Tabs component:
local/html/Elements/Tabs
The same can be accomplished more cleanly using callbacks. I

Need bookmarkable URL for report pages that brings you back to the same

Bookmarkable url for charts that downloads the chart data in CSV format.
Integrate all the Chart cgi’s into a single uber-Chart cgi (easier to
maintain).
Add some by-user reports (may have legal ramifications in europe,
provide way to disable).
Include month in dates on resolution chart.
Total or average time to resolution over report period (30 days).
Change y axis for charts in something other than seconds.
X axis becomes illegible when reporting over large periods.
Ability to tailor size of graph.
Select date range for reports.
Reports by time worked…
Make it easier to add new reports.
Find a better way to integrate Statistics into left hand task bar.
Package with a CHANGELOG and Makefile to do the install part, like RTFM
does.
