You must have "admin" access to the repository to implement these instructions. </p> <h2>First modify the TICKET table</h2><blockquote> <p> Click on the "Admin" menu, then "Tickets", then "Table". After the other fields and before the final ")", insert: <pre> , assigned_to TEXT, opened_by TEXT </pre> And "Apply Changes". You have just added two more fields to the ticket database! NOTE: I won't tell you to "Apply Changes" after each step from here on out. Now, how do you use these fields? </p> </blockquote> <h2>Next add assignees</h2><blockquote> <p> Back to the "Tickets" admin page, and click "Common". Add something like this: <pre> set assigned_choices { tom dick harriet } </pre> Obviously, choose names corresponding to the logins on your system. </p> </blockquote> <h2>Now modify the 'new ticket' page</h2><blockquote> <p> Back to the "Tickets" admin page, and click "New Ticket Page". This is a little more tricky. Edit the top part: <pre> if {[info exists submit]} { set status Open set opened_by $login submit_ticket } </pre> Note the "set opened_by" bit -- that will automatically set the "opened_by" field to the login name of the bug reporter. Now, skip to the part with "EMail" and modify it like so: <pre> <th1>enable_output [expr { "$login" eq "anonymous"}]</th1> <tr> <td align="right">EMail: <input type="text" name="private_contact" value="$<private_contact>" size="30"> </td> <td><u>Not publicly visible</u>. Used by developers to contact you with questions.</td> </tr> <th1>enable_output 1</th1> </pre> This bit of code will get rid of the "email" field entry for logged-in users. Since we know the user's information, we don't have to ask for it. NOTE: it might be good to automatically scoop up the user's email and put it here. </p> </blockquote> <h2>Modify the 'view ticket' page</h2><blockquote> <p> Look for the text "Contact:" (about halfway through). Then insert these lines after the closing tr tag and before the "enable_output" line: <pre> <tr> <td align="right">Assigned to:</td><td bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> $<assigned_to> </td> <td align="right">Opened by:</td><td bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> $<opened_by> </td> </pre> This will add a row which displays these two fields, in the event the user has "edit" capability. </p> </blockquote> <h2>Modify the 'edit ticket' page</h2><blockquote> <p> Before the "Severity:" line, add this: <pre> <tr><td align="right">Assigned to:</td><td> <th1>combobox assigned_to $assigned_choices 1</th1> </td></tr> </pre> That will give you a drop-down list of assignees. Now, similar to the previous section, look for "Contact:" and add this: <pre> <tr><td align="right">Reported by:</td><td> <input type="text" name="opened_by" size="40" value="$<opened_by>"> </td></tr> </pre> </p> </blockquote> <h2>What next?</h2><blockquote> <p> Now you can add custom reports which select based on the person to whom the ticket is assigned. For example, an "Assigned to me" report could be: <pre> SELECT CASE WHEN status IN ('Open','Verified') THEN '#f2dcdc' WHEN status='Review' THEN '#e8e8e8' WHEN status='Fixed' THEN '#cfe8bd' WHEN status='Tested' THEN '#bde5d6' WHEN status='Deferred' THEN '#cacae5' ELSE '#c8c8c8' END AS 'bgcolor', substr(tkt_uuid,1,10) AS '#', datetime(tkt_mtime) AS 'mtime', type, status, subsystem, title FROM ticket WHERE assigned_to=user() </pre> </p> </blockquote> </nowiki> |
