Unable to add the RT Activity Reports Extensions

Hi all,

I just upgraded from RT 3.6.1 to RT 3.6.3…everything went fine. While
combing through the wiki, I saw the Activity Reports Extension. I
downloaded the extension and installed using the steps below…

Perl Makefile.PL

Make install

Cleared the mason cache

Restarted apache

Restarted my browser

But, I don’t see the extensions anywhere…I’m “assuming” that the
Activity reports should be under the Tools / Reports menu, but it’s not
there. Am I looking in the wrong place or did I miss a step?

Also, what’s the cleanest way to uninstall the extension at this point?

Thx!

Steve

I was able to install the Service Updates and Timeline extensions
without any problems and both are working fine.

Steve:

I had the same problem with RT 3.6.3 and that particular extension. I
would recommend you use RTx-Statistics instead as that is a far better
extension and works like a charm with 3.6.3.

Thanks, Alan - I’ll check out RTx-Statistics.

Unfortunately, this morning I found that when I run a search, I get the errors below. At this point, can someone point me in the right direction as to how to best remove the RTx-Activity report extension altogether?

Thanks!!

Forget the error message…I was scrolling to the bottom when I should have just looked at the 3rd line down…I installed YAML and searches run clean now.

The Activity report formatting is pretty rough so I’m going to give RTx-Statistics a shot as Alan suggests. How do I remove RTx-Activity, though?

Thanks all
