Feature Request...
If you're interested in requesting a feature please use the form on this page:
http://www.hackvb.com/helpdesk.php

  • No File Edits!
  • Ability to turn the HelpDesk off.
  • Ability to turn the New Ticket option off.
  • Automated Response to users when tickets are submitted by email or private message.
  • Ability to select which usergroups have access to creating Departments and managing the other usergroup's HelpDesk settings.
  • Departments / Ticket Categories.
  • Limit usergroups to handle certain department tickets.
  • Limit usergroups by the following actions: new tickets, edit tickets, delete tickets, resolve / unresolve tickets, claim/unclaim ownership of tickets.
  • New Tickets since last visit to forums.
  • New Replies since last visit to forums.
  • Unresolved / Resolved Tickets.
  • WYSIWYG Editor for replies.
No File Edits!
When upgrading your forums there will be no problems. This will not give you any headaches because it almost runs separate of vBulletin..

1 Template Modification
This only has one template modification and that is to the navbar if you want a link there.

How-tos:
Giving Access to the Departments and Usergroup Settings
Usergroup Settings
Managing Departments

Installed?

Bug Fixes / Feature Additions:
v1.00 - Initial Release

v1.50 - Ton of features added. Will update this with a link to the post where I named all the features added.
v1.51 - Bug fix. This fixes the problem with sending PMs for the auto responder.
v1.52 - Bug fix. This fixes the problem where the creator of tickets cannot reply to the ticket and a cosmetic fix to the installer.
v1.53 - Bug fixes. Fixes the problem with the PM pop-up, database errors for some people and the delete errors.
v1.54 - Bug fixes. Fixes the problem with the install script with one table.
v1.55 - Bug fixes. Fixes the problem with the Usergroup Settings page loading half the way down the page in IE.

Donations:
Hacks like these takes up enormous amounts of time and energy. This hack is entirely free to use. Please help me, help the vBulletin community by donating. Donations will keep me releasing hacks for free rather than doing custom work. A donation of any amount is much appreciated! Tell me this hack isn't work a couple bucks?

You're fine. The install has ran everything that it really needs to run. If you still need to do the template edit to add it to your navbar change the step=4 to step=5 in the url. Then you'll be fine. Your helpdesk should be running fine now.

Ok, I have fixed the problem with the Usergroup Settings page in IE where it moves down half the page. To fix this problem it's rather simple.

1. Upload helpdesk_install.php to your admincp folder and run it.
2. Click on a link that says Install Templates.

You're done, don't go through any other steps, if you do then it will give you database errors.

Warning: This will update any HelpDesk templates. If you have made any changes save them first and then run this to prevent problems.

First off WhSox21 - This is a great add-on! I for one appreciate your time and energy put into this!

Request:
Secondly a very userfriendly enhancement would be if you could see the actual number of tickets/replies to the right, for instance: Unresolved tickets (3)

That would make this, in addition to other requests Ive seen, furthermore complete.
Keep up the good work!

(I hope this hasnt been requested already, the thread now spans over 20 pages, so its hard to be certain..)

Nope, not a request yet. I did have that in there before but it adds extra queries that I didn't think was necessary so I got rid of it. I also have the code for the average time of response which I also took out. I'll add it in as an option next update.

Is it possible to set it so registered users can reply to anyones helpdesk post but dont have access to the settings section.

In the add depatments area i have put there usergroup in , they can post but not reply to other members post, just we have alot of helpful members and we want to use this as a general helpdesk aswell as a bug reporting center.

It would take a little bit of editing of the actual code to accomplish this. If you really wanted to do that you could modify the helpdesk.php file and remove the part of the queries where it checks for the userid. Depending on how tomorrow goes I'll see if I can help you out and post a file for you to use. I'll try to release this as a release too.

I really need to start a list of feature requests. I'll try to get something organized here shortly. This week is pretty hectic for me so once I do get something I'll let everyone know.

Sox,

Where can I increase the amount of character to be entered in the Deparment Name? What it's set to right now is too short..

Thank You!
