[rt-users] Scrips - accessing "requestor" name from a ticket that has just b een created

[Maciak, TJ]

Ok I have updated my script because I found out how to get the ID of the
requestor.
 
Now I am having trouble getting the UserObj:
 
== START
 
$RT::Logger->debug( "COGR - testscript #21");
 
my $department = "unknown";
my $requestor=$self->TransactionObj->Creator;
 
if ($requestor) {
#   my $UserObj = new RT::User($session{'CurrentUser'});
   my $UserObj = RT::User->new(RT::CurrentUser->new('CurrentUser'));
   $UserObj->Load($requestor->id) if defined($requestor);
 
 $department = $UserObj->FirstCustomFieldValue('Department');
}
 
$RT::Logger->debug( "COGR - testscript #21 for requestor: " .
$self->TransactionObj->Creator ." department: " . $department);
 
return undef;

== END
 
With this I get:
[Tue Jul 12 20:27:28 2005] [error]: Scrip 21 Commit failed: Can't call
method "id" without a package or object re
ference at (eval 754) line 15, <GEN131> line 53.
 
With #my $UserObj = new RT::User($session{'CurrentUser'}); in the code
commented "IN", I get:
[Tue Jul 12 20:19:31 2005] [error]: Scrip 21 Commit failed: Global symbol
"%session" requires explicit package na
me at (eval 689) line 13, <GEN120> line 53.
 
Any ideas on how I can get access to $UserObj so I can load the ID of that
user and then grab their department (custom field)?

Subject: [rt-users] Scrips - accessing "requestor" name from a ticket that
has just b een created


I have written a scrip that states following:
 
Description: Add Department to Ticket
Condition: On Create
Action: User Defined
Template: Global Template: Blank
Stage: Transaction Create
 
Custom condition: none
Custom action preparation code: return 1;
Custom action cleanup code:
$RT::Logger->debug( "COGR - testscript #21");
 
my $people = $Ticket->Requestors->UserMembersObj;
my $requestor=$people->Next || undef
 
my $department = "unknown";
 
if ($requestor) {
 $UserObj->Load($requestor->id);
 $department = $UserObj->FirstCustomFieldValue('Department');
}
$RT::Logger->debug( "COGR - testscript #21 for department: $department");
return undef;

=========================================================
 
Now I want to fetch the "Requestors" field of a new ticket with this on
create scrip, then lookup that
requestor and grab a custom field (Department) and then place it in another
object related to the ticket called "DepartmentTicket".
 
However, $Ticket doesnt yet exist (at least I dont think so), so how would I
go about grabbing
the requestor field from the Create.html file?
 
Thanks,
