Templates in the constituency's virtual queue on RT-IR-3.0.3 "Incident Reports - <CONSTITUENCY>" don't get used

Hello,

It seems the template from the virtual constituency queue is not being used.

Here’s what I’ve done…

  1. Provisioned a VM (Ubunty “14.04.1 LTS, Trusty Tahr”)
  2. Setup sendmail to receive mail for my “mythrowawaydomain.com” (not a
    real domain name)
  3. Installed rt-4.0.22 (on apache2 + sendmail)
  4. Installed RT-IR-3.0.3
  5. Configured RT_SiteConfig.pm with some specifics for
    mythrowawaydomain.com
  6. Setup rt-mailgate
  7. Logged in to RT as root
  8. Changed the root password
  9. Confirmed all was working properly
  10. Executed /opt/rt4/local/plugins/RT-IR/etc/add_constituency --name
    –correspond iweb@mythrowawaydomain.com
  11. Setup /etc/aliases thusly:
    1. iweb: "|/opt/rt4/bin/rt-mailgate --queue ‘Incident Reports’
    –action correspond --extension IWEB --url
    http://mythrowawaydomain.com
    2. Executed newaliases
  12. Sent an email to iweb@mythrowawaydomain.com from my gmail mailbox
  13. Confirmed that it was created in the Incident Reports queue
  14. Confirmed that the constituency was set properly to IWEB
  15. Created a new Template in the queue called “Incident Reports - IWEB”
    called “Autoreply” using the same content as the one in the global templates
  16. Modified this new template with some specific text
  17. Sent another email to iweb@mythrowawaydomain.com from my gmail
    mailbox
  18. Confirmed it was created in the Incident Reports queue
  19. Confirmed that the constituency was set properly to IWEB
  20. Read the auto-reply in my gmail mailbox and saw the template was NOT
    used

I noticed in the rt.log “Permission denied. User #77 has no SeeCustomField
right on CF #1
” and CF #1 is Constituency. When allowing “Everyone”
access to view that CF though the log entry disappears but the behaviour
(Autoreply template from virtual constituency queue not being used) does
not change.

The rt.log is attached to this email.

Am I missing something?

Yep - as documented. Last paragraph of this section.

OK thanks for this confirmation. I’ll stop trying to get it to work :slight_smile:
That’s quite unfortunate. Are there any plans in the near future to make
templates (and maybe even scrips) overridable if a template (and even
scrip) of the same name exists on a constituency’s pseudo queue?

On a side note - I’ve been a fan and advocate for RTIR for many many years
now. I appreciate RTIR and your help immensely!

It’s one of the major goals for the customer we’re working with on
what will become RTIR 3.4. The pseudo queues will be going away and
becoming real queues which will create much more predictable behavior.
