Feature Request...
If you're interested in requesting a feature please use the form on this page:

This is a ticket support system. Your members can now open up tickets rather than email you all the time.

Features
  • 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?

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:

All I see is HELPDESK >> Helpdesk Options >> User Controls, did I miss something?

I'm using vB3.0.7

Thanks!

I do see this in other forums like nav button and one in dropdown[addon] I can not see it in my forum unless thier is a step that I need to make so I can see it. I gave permission to create for Admin.--SupMod--Mod--RegU. that was all and I do not see button so members can access helpdesk?.
When installing it via the helpdesk_install.php file you should have had a step that was template modifications. You need to add that to the navbar. I think that's what you're looking for.

Hi WhSox21

Great mod... thanks for this.

One thing I noticed after a fair amount of testing is that the Ticket System Permissions are based on the vB Primary Usergroup and not any of the vB Secondary USergroups.

I don't wish to allow accecss to the ticket system to all registeredmembers of my board, but just to those members who I have added in anadditional secondary usergroup. However, the ticket system doesn't accept/abide by the permissions of secondary usergroups.

Also... and more importantly... not all my SMods will be Ticket Gurusand I therefore need to create a new secondary usergroup whichwill contain those who can reply, resolve and take ownership oftickets... the thing is, the system won't accept those usergrouppermissions and I can't do this unless I set those peoples primaryusergroup as "Ticket Guru" - and I don't want to do that.

Have I got this wrong? Is there a way around it...?

You are 100% correct in this testing. I believe I stated that it was based on primary usergroups in the past, if I didn't I'm sorry and it was intended. I've yet to see interest in this secondary usergroups, but now that I've seen this I will program it for the next version. It takes a lot more work due to the fact that I have to do this without file edits. I basically have to reinevent the wheel by doing what vBulletin already has. Anyways, I'll make sure this is a feature in the next version. As for your moderators, this would give them the ability to show the links on the left but not actually use them. To be honest, this will probably be the first release before any new features are added as people may report this as a 'bug', although it is not because of how it is programmed. It shouldn't be a ton of work to change this around to check to see if users have this access. The way it will work though is with any usergroup they are apart of it will give that user access to certain things based on the highest usergroup's ability. So for example, if the primary usergroup does not have the ability to create tickets but a membership usergroup does, it will still allow them because they are apart of that usergroup. Sorry for all the attempt at the explanation but I'll do my best to get this out soon. I understand this is a need feature, not only for you but for myself :nervous:.

Thanks for showing intrest in this and letting me know someone actually has tested this extensively as this shows me there aren't many bugs how I coded the conditionals. I really appreciate the work done to prove this! :surprised:
