Two problems with rt-3.9.7

Hi everyone,

I’m testing rt-3.9.7 and two problems are tying me down. It’s quite some
time since I used RT actively so I’m trying to catch up.
The first is related to Resolved template. I have the following template -
http://inetpro.org/pastebin/10622 - which worked in RT (I can’t tell which
version is worked with lastly. Probably 3.6.x) but is simply not being
accepted in 3.9.7. What changes do I need on it so that 3.9.7 can accept it
as type=perl (not as type = simple)?
Secondly, my AutoReply template, also carried forward from the old days,
generates a random password for a requestor and should allow the requestor
to login to RT and view tickets created by them. The login part works, but
requestor cannot view tickets. I’d love to have requestors view/comment
tickets they generate.
I have given “Everyone” the following rights:

  • Comment on ticketsCommentOnTicket
  • Create ticketsCreateTicket
  • Reply to ticketsReplyToTicket
  • Sign up as a ticket Requestor or ticket or queue CcWatch
  • View custom fieldsSeeCustomField
  • View queueSeeQueue
  • View system dashboardsSeeDashboard
  • View ticket summaries

Modify one’s own RT accountModifySelf
View ticket private commentaryShowTicketComment

However, requestors are still not able to view their tickets to start with!
What other rights do I need to give.

While it is not key on my troubles, is anyone usind RT VERP already with
Exim and would like to share Exim configuration to handle this?

NB: I am using Chrome to view RT and it works pretty well. However, Firefox
4.0beta8 simply gives me grief. I’m not sure where to lay the blame for
this, but I will not put on Jesse and his team for now:-)

I don’t see where you gave Requestors ShowTicket, which I think is
what you want.

If you file bug reports with screenshots, it would be interesting. I
don’t think we’ve encountered any firefox issues so far. There have
also been some CSS refactorings between 3.9.7 and the current HEAD.

you should upgrade some syntaxes:

$RT::WebURL → RT->Config->Get(‘WebURL’)
$rtname → RT->Config->Get(‘rtname’)

I get this error:

Can’t use string (“Subject: [{$rtname} #{$Ticket->i”) as an ARRAY ref while
“strict refs” in use at /opt/rt4/sbin/…/lib/RT/Template_Overlay.pm line

Sure. I have taken a slap for that! I’d assumed so much that Everyone means
“everyone”.

some CSS refactorings between 3.9.7 and the current HEAD.

I have taken a snapshot of the main login window. You can see it here as a
pdf: http://lix.in/-91f606
I am using web2 theme and I simply cannot navigate the RT display in
Firefox-4.0b8. I simply have to close the tab. Trying to click on links
which behave like moving targets is not easy, oh!
The hyperlink to “Logged in as …” actually is shown on the right hand top
corner, as opposed to left hand top corner with Chrome.

Bar from getting git source, is there a nightly snapshot of current HEAD
that I can try? I didn’t find a way to compile HEAD the way I do with the
distributed tarballs.

You’re missing a trailing } on your template (in the resolution
comment block) which appears to really break the compile checker.

Sure. I have taken a slap for that! I’d assumed so much that Everyone means “everyone”.

You almost certainly don’t want Everyone to have ShowTicket, that
means they can see any ticket. You want Requestors to see their own
tickets.

Do you seem similar breakage on aileron?

There should be another tarball along soon.

Thanks for being my “third eye”! I have seen where the trailing } was
missing and fixed that. Together with the suggestions from Emmanuel, my
template now works as expected.

No. I tested and there is no such breakage with aileron.

In an earlier post, I had reported having serious display problem with
3.9.x. I followed the thread where it was said one needed to add the
following to Apache config:

     <Perl>
      use Plack::Handler::Apache2;
      Plack::Handler::Apache2->preload("/opt/rt4/sbin/rt-server");
     </Perl>

I added that and it solved the display and some errors that others reported
(I was seeing the same errors too).

Are these gonna be retained when the next tarball is released or should I
prepare to remove them?

Thanks to all!!

Good. I’ve opened a ticket to try and catch that compilation failure

No. I tested and there is no such breakage with aileron.

Would you forward your pdf and browser info to rt-bugs so we have a
ticket?
