Ticket/Search results navigation in 3.8.x

We recently upgraded to 3.8.1, and overall the interface is so much better!

One comment we’ve received from our customer support group is that several
navigation features are no longer available. When viewing a queue or search,
there used to be the following links/controls:

  first
  prev
  next
  last

and

  search results

which took you back to the the last search or group you had. These links
seem to have disappeared from 3.8.x, and I’m wondering if there’s a setting
to bring them back or if someone has made the customization already.

Thanks,
Steve

They sure seem to exist for me in 3.8…They’re in the menu on the left.

Maybe I’m missing something really obvious…I just disabled all local mods
just to be sure.

I log in, and see RT at a Glance. I click on one of the Queue names in the
Quick Search list. Now see a page with search results
(/rt3/Search/Results.html). Included in menu bar across the top of the
ticket area is “Show Results” which is currently bold.

Click on one of the tickets, and see that ticket (/rt3/Ticket/Display.html).
I don’t see any link for the search results, previous, next, etc in the left
sidebar menu. Screenshot of what I’m seeing below.

I just did the exact same things on rt3.fsck.com.

Well it’s great to see that those are there. I’ll dig in and see whats
different (hopefully soon).

I checked the release notes for 3.8.2 (we’re on 3.8.1) and didn’t see
anything related to this. In case I missed it, nothing that you remember
along those lines?

It’s possible it is related to how we have auth set up. We’re using Apache’s
authnz_ldap to set REMOTE_USER so all of our internal apps are
single-signon. But that by itself shouldn’t prevent sessions.

I didn’t set that part up so I’ll have to check into that a little further.

Did some quick testing, my browser does have a RT session cookie. It stays
the same when I log in and the At a Glance page is displayed.

Session ID stays the same when I click on a queue name.

Session ID changes every time I click on a Ticket link in a search result.

I haven’t had to dig into how RT manages sessions, so if anyone has any
hints as to why the session cookies would be reset when moving to
Ticket/Display, let me know.

Best regards, Ruslan.

I will admit my sysadmin did the upgrade, so I can’t say for sure, but we
are having problems with binary attachments (as hinted at in
UPGRADING.mysql).

Assume the worst and we only followed the steps in the upgrade document and
not the upgrade.mysql one. We switched a few weeks ago. Is it possible to
run those steps now or will that make things worse?
