Contributions to RT

Contains info about software that third parties have contributed to RT. If you know of a contribution or enhancement that is not in this list, please add to the best section possible below, in alphabetical order. Also include notes about the RT versions tested.

You may also want to check the Documentation page because many articles there describe how to add features that RT does not have by default.

Packages that have their own installer have been moved to Extensions.

See Also the outdated Patches, whose content should be moved to the appropriate subsections below.

Coping with Spam

The techniques for dealing with spam span the divisions below and have been collected in a single place for easy review. Please see SpamFiltering, limiting additions to tricks that differ significantly from the existing material for conciseness.

ScripConditions

Custom Conditions. Doesn't matter if it's module or text to fill into "user defined condition" block in the WebUI, all live here.

Many conditions are very simple and you can find a big list in CustomConditionSnippets.

*Please*, start wiki page names with "On" prefix if you don't want to add condition into CustomConditionSnippets.

ScripActions

Nice custom ScripActions that makes your life easier.

Template parts

Code that you can put into your mail Templates, Template page has also some code snippets.

Callbacks

Callbacks are an easy way to CleanlyCustomizeRT

  • CloningQueues - Add user functionality to clone existing queues including templates, scrips, privileges and custom fields during queue creation

  • QuickResolveandQuickReject - Create two actions in Display page which allow you to reject or resolve the ticket without no comments.

Extensions

Patches, Overlays, Mason components, configuration tools and so on. These extensions are unlikely to become RT core package.

Packages that have their own installer have been moved to Extensions - Below are code bits too small/experimental/etc. to warrant a standalone package:

External utils

Various standalone utilities.

  • backupRT - Run a quick backup of RT files (Debian)
  • backupRTDB - RT Database Backup Script (Debian)
  • BestPracticalRT Mac OSX Widget - simple configurable OSX widget for quick posting tickets
  • Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::RT - an IRC Bot module that allows full querying of RT tickets from an IRC session. It can do as much as RT::Client::REST can.

  • CloseAll - Close all TT in a queue
  • ConvertLegacyToRt - Converts a Legacy Flat File to RT Tickets.
  • delete-transaction - Original version was old, poured out errors and didn;t work well on 3.8. This one is fixed.

    • rt-remind - Stick this in your crontab to send out reminders about open tickets.
    • rtReminderMails - Cronscript that sends mails about reminders that are due in the next two days to the ticket and reminder owners.
    • rtUnifiedreminder - All the other reminder scripts are based on StartDate, DueDate or Priority but not all organizations make use of those fields. Also, all the other scripts only send plaintext email to the ticket owner. This script sends one HTML mail (so you can click the tickets and links to RT searches) that lists all tickets that seem to be getting too old without being touched. "Too old" is based on LastUpdated field, with the amount of time configurable for New, Open and Stalled tickets.
  • F2Wcvs-to-rt - Tool to help converting from the F2W helpdesk system to RT
