Bug in PhoneView?
by Andreas Haase 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

Hello, when opening a new ticket via Phoneview I can enter the senders address. But when the ticket arrives in the queue, the sender is taken from the information of the sender queue. Is it possible to either choose a queue like for recipient or fill in the senders address, so that it is in ticket correctly? Bye, Andreas

Hi, all. I'm with beta8, tarball installation under RH8 and I have problems with new short language filenames. Which files I must download from CVS to update my system? Yes, I know, that everything is there, but there are so many files! I can't check everyone. 10x in advance. Best regards, Vladimir Gerdjikov, Communication and NOS Manager, HebrosBank Head Office, +359 32/903435, +359 88 578 458 mailto:vladimir.gerdjikov@hebros.bg ----------------------------------------------------------------

SMS and OpenTRS
by Edwin D. Viñas 26 Nov '02

26 Nov '02

Mabuhay OTRS Team! Im having a problem in integrating SMS to OTRS. I have already installed OTRS system and it already works with both email and webform reports. What I need to incorporate is SMS or Text Messaging which is one of the cheapest communication medium in the Philippines. Besides, SMS messaging is the most reliable means of network trouble reporting coz SMS is network-independent unlike email and web reporting. If a certain customer wants to report a trouble, he can send the report via SMS to a cellular phone or SMS gateway. Here's how i implemented it so that I can use OTRS: 1. An SMS message or ticket request is sent to our SMS Gateway. 2. SMS is converted to Email (local otrs user email). 3. The SMS message then appears to the OTRS queue. How to notify the sender thru SMS? The SMS notification must also contain the ticket number. Do you have any implementation similar to or much better than this? best regards, --edwin edwinv(a)asti.dost.gov.ph _________________ \_____\__\ ____/__/ Edwin D.

Feature request - Standard attachments
by Marco Cintolesi 25 Nov '02

25 Nov '02

Hi all, Here in Technets the OTRS is becoming the "killer app" for the customer support, we are very happy with the app, and we can start to ask some features to the development team: The most requested feature from the customer support team is the possibility to add to the responses some "standard attachments", because with some "fixed" responses they have to send many brochures or manuals in pdf format. The idea: Add to the Responses page a field to add attachments and store them in the db in some BLOB fields. Any other user can like this ??? and.....Martin, is this possible ?? (let me know if u need some more infos about, or some help ;-)))) Many other requests to come (sigh) Cheers Marco Cintolesi NOC Director Technets srl - ITALY

cron
by Jon Conkle 20 Nov '02

20 Nov '02

I keep getting these error messages in the daily status emails: /bin/sh: line 1: /home/otrs/bin/UnlockTickets.pl: No such file or directory /bin/sh: line 1: /home/otrs/bin/DeleteSessionIDs.pl: No such file or directory I'm assuming the cron job is trying to run these scripts, but looking in the wrong directory. What I can't find is where the listings are. I've looked in cron.d, cron.daily, cron.weekly, cron.monthly, and crontab. Nothing in reference to otrs. where do i go to fix this? Jon.

otrs and spell check function?
by Eddie Urenda 19 Nov '02

19 Nov '02

I don't think that this has been brought up before, but it would certainly be nice to have some kind of spell check functionality in OTRS. Perhaps using something like aspell or ispell to check spelling before sending something out would be helpful. -Eddie
