Scrip for changing queues

I think I remember seeing a question about this in the past but I can’t seem
to find it.

We have been using RT2 for a while now and have received some feedback on
the system. One item that pretty much everyone has asked for is a way to
notify admin watchers when a ticket changes queues. There doesn’t appear to
be a scrip for this and it doesn’t fall under OnCreate. Is there a
workaround for this? Either by creating a new scrip or having OnCreate cover
this scenario?

Thanks.

Actually, I built one of these for a client in the past few weeks:

I’d love to hear how it works for youOn Tue, Jun 26, 2001 at 10:27:10AM -0400, Eric Mandel wrote:

I admit that X is the second worst windowing system in the world, but all the
others I’ve used are tied for first.

Works great. The only issue that I have is that the message content cannot
be included in the template. I’ve seen similar posts on this regarding other
actions so I kind of understand why. I’ve also cleaned up the readme a bit
(see below). Feel free to clean it up. Thanks a lot.

This package consists of a ScripCondition which fires if the current
transaction
is a queue change. It includes two files. A perl installation script
(insert_condition.pl) which will insert the information needed for this
Condition into RT’s database, and a module to be placed into
lib/RT/Condition in your RT instance.

To Setup:

  • Copy the QueueChange.pm module into lib/RT/Condition in your RT instance.
  • Edit insert_condition.pl and replacing !!RT_LIB_PATH!! & !!RT_ETC_PATH!!
    with the correct paths.
  • run ‘perl insert_condition.pl’
  • Setup scrips. The scrip fires on the queue that the ticket is being
    transferred to.From: Jesse [mailto:jesse@fsck.com]

Another one that I’ve just added here is an OnGive so that when
some other decides to give you even more
work you find out about it …

mysql> select * from ScripConditions WHERE Name=‘OnGive’;
| id | Name | Description | ExecModule | Argument
| ApplicableTransTypes | Creator | Created | LastUpdatedBy |
LastUpdated |
| 7 | OnGive | When a ticket is given away | AnyTransaction | NULL
| Give | 4 | 2001-06-25 11:00:00 | 4 |
2001-06-25 11:00:00 |
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

With the following template:

The previous owner of the following ticket:
Request: [ifl.net #{$Ticket->id}]
Request Subject: {$Ticket->Subject}

Has named you as the new owner of this ticket.

Click on the following link to view the full history.
<URL: {$RT::WebURL}/Ticket/Display.html?id={$Ticket->id} >

Many Thanks

I actually just noticed one issue with regards to the e-mail that gets
generated by this scrip.

The From: field has this:
Apache [Apache@worldnow.com]; on behalf of; Eric Mandel via RT
[tickets@worldnow.com]

Normally, scrips have a from field that looks like:
Eric Mandel via RT [production@worldnow.com]

Any idea why this scrip would look different.From: Jesse [mailto:jesse@fsck.com]
