Why can't you use RTFM when creating a ticket?

Hi all,

we are using RTFM quite heavily (yay for the 3.8.1 release!) and were
wondering if there is a technical reason why we can’t use RTFM templates
when creating tickets. If not, I will gladly move that over to the
tracker & create a wishlist item.

Sure. That seems like a reasonable feature. Patches welcome.

Best regards, Ruslan.

I guess that’s what I get for being a manager and out of touch with
the world :wink:

From the release notes:

  • RTFM UI now available during Ticket Creation
    (only in 3.8.1 or higher)

From the documentation:

=head1 Configuration options

=head2 RTFM_Create

Set this to a true value to display the RTFM include interface on the
Ticket Create page in addition to the Reply/Comment page (Create.html
in addition to Update.html)

Please note, this only works with RTFM 3.8.1 or greater

Apologies for the dead horse… and or flogging of same for RTFM…

You’ll want to update these notes to instead say “RT 3.8.1” I
think… Unless RTFM has suddenly received a massive upgrade in
version numbers since the 2.4.0rc1 accounced auguest 20th…

Sorry, I simply missed that option :confused:

Ticket Create page in addition to the Reply/Comment page (Create.html

Set this where? I can’t find said option in the web interface and adding

Set($RTFM_Create, 1);

to RT_SiteConfig.pm does not work, either.

Sadly, RTFM_Config.pm has it correct but the docs didn’t get updated.
They’ve been updated in the repo, but you can find
/path/to/rt/local/plugins/RT-FM/etc/RTFM_Config.pm and tweak it
or just copy the config setting (RTFM_TicketCreate) to your
RT_SiteConfig.pm

It isn’t in the web interface because that tends to be for user-specific
settings. This didn’t strike me as that kind of config option.

I’ll take a patch that enables it in the Web UI if someone wants.
You’ll
need to create and RT/FM/Config.pm module to do so.

I changed the setting in RT_SiteConfig.pm (less places to look at),
and after $RTFM_Create → $RTFM_TicketCreate, it works, thanks :slight_smile:

Agreed, it is probably better to keep that stuff in config files. I just
included it as I poked around where the solution might hide.

Thanks :slight_smile:
