NAME
RT-Extension-NonWatcherRecipients - Note when non-watchers received an
email which RT redistributed to watchers
DESCRIPTION
Sometimes email addresses will be added to a thread attached to an RT
ticket because someone wants someone else to know what's going on.
However, if that person isn't added as a Watcher on the RT ticket,
they'll likely miss subsequent correspondence on the thread as RT
doesn't know about them.
RT::Extension::NonWatcherRecipients looks for email addresses on
correspondence that RT doesn't know about and posts a message like this
so you know someone may need to be added:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: "A User" <
[email protected]>
The following people received a copy of this email but are not on the ticket.
You may want to add them before replying:
https://YourRT.com/Ticket/ModifyPeople.html?id=12345
Cc: "Non Watcher" <
[email protected]>
------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want the person to see correspondence, you can click the link and
add them. If not, you can just ignore the message.
INSTALLATION
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
May need root permissions
make initdb
Only run this the first time you install this module.
If you run this twice, you may end up with duplicate data in your
database.
If you are upgrading this module, check for upgrading instructions
in case changes need to be made to your database.
Edit your /opt/rt4/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm
If you are using RT 4.2 or greater, add this line:
Plugin('RT::Extension::NonWatcherRecipients');
For RT 4.0, add this line:
Set(@Plugins, qw(RT::Extension::NonWatcherRecipients));
or add RT::Extension::NonWatcherRecipients to your existing @Plugins
line.
Restart your webserver
USAGE
If you run the make initdb step, a new global template called
NonWatcherRecipients Admin Correspondence is installed on your system.
You can then select this template for any scrips that use the standard
Admin Correspondence template. We recommend the Admin Correspondence
template because you'll need RT privileges to add the user to the
ticket.
You can also add this to existing templates by adding the following to
any template:
{ RT::Extension::NonWatcherRecipients->FindRecipients(
Transaction => $Transaction, Ticket => $Ticket ) }
As described below, this method returns a message which is then inserted
into your template. Look at the installed template for an example. You
may also call the method and use the returned string however you'd like.
METHODS
FindRecipients
Search headers for recipients not included as watchers on the ticket and
return a message to insert in the outgoing email to notify participants.
Takes: (Transaction => $Transaction, Ticket => $Ticket) These are the
objects provided in the RT template.
Returns: a message to insert in a template
