I did not test this but you can try this to let me know if it works. If it doesn't then I will help out when I get back from a short vacation for sure.

Blackbeard 03-23-2005 11:18 AM

cheers will test it out

Also, I have claimed and dealt with around 6 tickets myself now and none of them have been placed in my user control area.. They are still accessable through "Administer" options / Resolved tickets but not under "User Controls"/ Resolved tickets..

Any other ideas? This really will be a great and helpful addition if I can get these issues resolved... Hopefully we can

Blackbeard 03-24-2005 09:41 PM

That seems to work ok, members now can reply to other members post.

Julie 03-26-2005 10:49 PM

Oo, really cool and so easy to install! Works like a charm :)

*clicks install*

Sorry for the delay on my response. I just got back from a short vacation. Anyways, I honestly have no idea what's not working for you. The next thing I would suggest is going through the uninstall and then reinstall it. This will lose all your current tickets though. That's my next guess on what you should do as I have no other ideas.

SRuvbnhad 03-28-2005 05:03 PM

Great hack. Installed and have no problems with it.

A few things I'd like to see:
1) Autonumber for each ticket. I'm sure it's already generated but I'd like to be able to see/search for specific tickets by this number

2) Ability to search by user names as well as other specifics

3) Problem categories. Should be self-explanatory but just a way to categorize problems whether it be SQL, HTML, etc. Ability for this to be entered on my side as opposed to being entered in the code somewhere. I hope that makes sense

Julie 03-28-2005 05:17 PM

SRuvbnhad, you do have something called Departments, where you can have SQL, HTML etc,... if that's what you mean...

WhSox21, is there a way to show how many tickets there are in ()s? F.ex. Unresolved Tickets (0), Resolved Tickets (1) ....

I get what you are saying but I'm using it as a way to categorize what area is having a problem. Whether it be site a, b, or c. I'm using the departments variable to do it in that manner. If it was a case where it was only one area that would work great.

WhSox21 03-28-2005 06:57 PM

Julieh - That will require a few more queries, but yes, it's possible.

SRuvbnhad - I still don't follow what you're saying exactly?

SRuvbnhad 03-28-2005 07:25 PM

Under departments I have
-Site A
-Site B
-Site C
and so on for every site around the world. What I'm trying to say is like a problem category to go with the ticket system.

Ex. Person from Site A creates a new ticket. They are getting an error message dealing with SQL. They would select their department (Site A) and then have the option to select a problem category; which would be something like Web Site or SQL (if you wanted to go into detail).

Maybe that makes a little more sense.

--oh an autosending email/pm would be helpful too. When someone submits a ticket an autosender will send an email to a user/user group saying such and such has been created.

Julie 03-28-2005 08:04 PM

WhSox21, forgive the newbie question, but queries, that goes on my site bandwidth, or the servers (my host's) bandwidth?

Is it difficult to code something that'll send me a PM whenever there's a new ticket?

rh2004 03-29-2005 11:39 AM

What happen's when you have lots on one page, does it go onto 2,3 etc pages?

Also would be good if you could search for tickets by username

I believe it goes on your server....

I think is already a feature... but i'm not really sure...

mfowler70 03-30-2005 03:03 AM

It's kinda in there. Not perfect yet, but I believe he said it's coming.

Perfection for me will be when an automatic PM/email is:

1. Sent to the person who submitted the ticket, and the entire usergroup responsible for answering tickets for that department at the time of initial submission.

2. Sent to the person who submitted the ticket, and the person who claims the ticket upon every reply to said ticket until it is closed.

3. Sent to the person who submitted the ticket, and the superadmin once it is in fact closed.

Apophis 03-31-2005 02:17 PM

Installed on http://www.TacticalGamer.com

Excellent package. Seamless install!

These suggestions below would be great. The biggest thing I noticed was lack of notification to the usergroups that a new ticket was created as well as the lack of notification to the user that their ticket was resolved.

SRuvbnhad 03-31-2005 06:39 PM

Having a problem with the system. I've got five groups total. Administartors and then four others. I set Admin to yes on all permissions. I set the others to only being able to submit tickets. I'm logged into both accounts right now and here's the problem I'm having.

User is groupA submits a ticket. It does not show up in the Admin's new tickets or unresolved tickets menu. Instead of showing up in there, I get the No new tickets can be found message. Any ideas as to what's going on?

The notification issue is the only thing keeping me from going live. I hope it is added soon.

Great hack, keep up the good work.

WhSox21 03-31-2005 11:23 PM

I'll try to get these few features added this weekend. I have to get some projects completed for customers first.

I would need more information to help you out. Did you set the information in the AdminCP correctly? Did you try to uninstall it and then reinstall it?

I got that as an Admin. It maybe u did not make departments cause I have not did it yet as well. I get message saying I do not have the prev. or perm. to view.

FlyBoy73 04-04-2005 03:56 PM

Great hack! Thanks a lot!

SRuvbnhad 04-04-2005 05:10 PM

Sorry I wasn't clear on what's going on. I have 6 departments with number 1 set as the Admin. When a user in the other departments creates a ticket it can be seen in the by everyone but the Administrators; despite having all of the permissions set to "Yes".

I'll send you a PM with the site information so you can see it for yourself. It's a pre-release board so there are only two active members; myself and one other admin.

WhSox21 04-04-2005 05:29 PM

You have the wrong impression of how this works. You are trying to put the departments to each usergroup which you don't have to. You need to allow which usergroups can admin those departments. Let me know if you still don't understand?

SRuvbnhad 04-04-2005 06:28 PM

Fixed. thanks.

pbw 04-06-2005 09:15 PM

Just wondering if we should use the prior modifcation mentioned to enable pm/email notification on new tickets. Or if this will be added soon. I'm not trying to nag you to add this feature as i'm sure you're probably busy with more important things. It's just that this is what i'm waiting on before opening the helpdesk to my community members.

Thanks

evenmonkeys 04-08-2005 09:21 PM

I do not want super moderators to have access to the settings and departments. How can I remove their access?

admincp -> vbulletin options -> help desk -> "Usergroups With Department Access and Usergroup Settings"

Well done! CLickin the ol install toggle thingeee.


Keep up the great work!

I tired it... it didn't work.

evenmonkeys 04-09-2005 10:25 PM

URGENT

Found a very large problem. When a ticket is submitted, they are given a URL. If they change the number of the ticket in that URL to a different number, you can view other users tickets. That completely nulls the usage of the Usergroup Settings.

http://forums.website.com/helpdesk.php?do=ticket&tid=6

If you change the number 6 to the number 7, you can view the next ticket AND you can reply to it.

You really need to fix this.

Boofo 04-09-2005 10:29 PM

Will this install and work on any vb version before 3.07?

WhSox21 04-09-2005 11:16 PM

xYarub - That is a problem with the reply. Although, I made it so it was intended that you can read all tickets, but you shouldn't be able to reply to them. I'll fix that tonight and send out an update.

Boofo - This will work with any 3.x series. It only uses vBulletin's usergroup settings and vBulletin Options. So it will work on any series.

Thanks red baron, i'll definately apply the tip shortly (might as well wait on the update for now). Your post was actually exactly the one i was referring to ;)

good stuff, a help desk feature i can't live without. Far too busy/lazy to manually check all day, and expect other staff to all do the same.

imo, this is a very bad idea to do intentional. People requesting support for various things tend to include sensitive information within their ticket. If it wasn't semi private/sensitive, then they probably would just post it publically.

evenmonkeys 04-11-2005 05:21 AM

He told me that he would be working on a fix to prevent other users from viewing and replying.

SpanishHarlem 04-13-2005 07:08 PM

ok Call me stupid. I am fairly new to VB and I have the file uploaded but now I am not sure how to run it or where in admin directory. Can anyone please help?

Thank's muchly.

WhSox21 04-13-2005 09:03 PM

SpanishHarlem - read the install.txt file in the zip file. It tells you how to install it. Just call the file in your browser...

WhSox21 04-13-2005 09:07 PM

What's this? The long awaited version upgrade? :surprised:

Anyways, I fixed the bug where anyone could view the ticket. It now only allows usergroups who are primary usergroups or have membership usergroup id as one of thier usergroups, or obviously if you're the ticket creator.

This now also sends a PM to EVERY user of the department where the ticket is updated. If a ticket is updated it will now send any user a PM notifying them of the update! :)

Let me know of any bugs in this! :o

I'll also be sending out an update here in the next few minutes.
