Major Additions - microSUPPORT (F.A.Q & Ticketing Live Support)

1.- How it works

• Members having questions, are coming to your support department. They read your Frequence Asked Questions and if they don't solve their problem, they're opening a support ticket.
• By opening a ticket, a copy is going to member, and a notification is going to technicians.
• Technician reply to the question, eighter using a predefinied reply, or writing a fresh reply.
• Technician has the ability to save his reply to predefinied ones, or, if he counts it as common question to add it to as many FAQ categories he wants.
• Member gets the reply, and if he is not totally satisfied, he visits your site to continue the discussion and so on.
• Member and/or Technician can close a ticket
• Member and/or Technician can re-open a ticket

Fixed a problem with some styles as they were moving the headers and blocks to one side.

Upgrade for this is to just re-import the product.xml file with overwrite set to yes


This will only work with vbulletin version 4.0.x but not for vbulletin version 4.1.x

As previously noted in other posts the FREE version of this modification (which is no longer supported) DOES NOT support VB versions 4.1.5+. IT will only work with version prior to when the ckeditor was introduced.

The commercial version does support VB 4.1.5+ as I am running it on one of my sites and I am planning on purchasing a second license for another site.

As for the language issue, you imported the French language phrase XML file. You only need to download the files in part1 & part2 and install accordingly.

I have no association with with the author and have only offered some basic help since the FREE version is unsupported and they were questions I knew the answes to.

The author provides great support on his site. Since you purchased the software might I suggest you ask him on his site.

I'm currently using the microSUPPORT modification and I wish to set up a notifications system for it, which includes things such as the following.

• Administrators receive notification of new ticket created
• Users receive notification of reply to their own ticket
• Admins receive notification of user reply to ticket

How would I go about doing this?
Thank you!

[Crxssfade]

Anyone?
