I am interested in working on a couple of features for otrs...
a) For a trusted mail server, it'd be nice if certain terms structured in a
specific ways (ie, #^\s*COMMAND\s*$# in the reply messages triggered certain
actions. For example,
"I'm now working this ticket" might trigger the onwership to change to the
account that owns the e-mail address in the from field.
"This issue is resolved" might trigger the ticket to be closed.
b) The free fields are interesting. I'd like to go farther with them though.
It'd be nice if you could add name/value pairs to a ticket dynamically. ie, if
you need additional fields, do something to the affect
$ticketObj->AddFreeField(
'assetname' => 'computer',
'location' => 'upstairs',
'ipaddress' => '1.1.1.1'
);
my $ipaddress = $ticketObj->GetFreeField( name => 'ipaddress' );
With this ability, otrs could become the base for a lot of systems without a
lot of extra development.
c) It'd be nice to be able to take actions on a group of tickets from the
queue view, ie, close them all with the same resolution message.
Any recomendations I can keep in mind while working on these features that
will increase my chances of getting code accepted the first time? Any coding
style documents, rules, etc. (besides the obvious of just looking at the
existing code and trying to follow suite)
