Re: [otrs] MOTD in customer login?

Great! That would do the trick! 2015-01-08 0:09 GMT+01:00 Gerald Young :

if you change the accept *code* it *activates* again.

Thank you for your quick reply. I tried to fiddle with the CustomerAccept, but once a customer has accepted, it never seems to appear again. I would like to make it appear whenever I activate it.

Sorry. Missed the inference for this. :( OK, now you know how to tell people OTRS is down :)

*A* way to provide a notification is to use the CustomerAccept.dtl file within Framework->Frontend::Customer (There's an analogous situation for Agents with a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoJe_6rvVpY).

Create a "We're down" web page and set the LoginURL to that page. When you're done, go back and clear the checkbox for:

SysConfig: Edit Config Settings in Framework -> Frontend::Customer CustomerPanelLoginURL Edit Config Settings in Framework -> Frontend::Agent LoginURL

Hi,

We would like to be able to give customers a status message if some major downtime is ocurring. When they login to OTRS it would be nice to let them know that "file server 1 is down, you don't need to create tickets to that effect". Also it would be nice is this message is displayed to users already logged in.

I've spent some time trying to get MOTD to display via CustomerLogin.tt but my skills are obviously not up to the task.

Is there an easy way to do this? Preferably the contents of the message should not come from a file on the filesystem but somehow be configurable from within OTRS. That last part is clearly in the nice-to-have category, though, and not a necessity.
