[rt-users] new to creating templates

[Jacob Helwig]

Try just having {"This is a test"}, instead of the print.  From looking at my templates, whenever a variable needs to be printed, it's just left bare on a line.

For example, how $resolved_message is printed in http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?AddTicketHistoryToMail

Also note how {$Ticket->Subject}, {$Ticket->QueueObj->CorrespondAddress()}, and {Transaction->Content()} are all done without a print.

Subject: [rt-users] new to creating templates

Hi-

I'm sorta new to creating my own templates and to RT in general.  One thing I would like to do is create a custom template that has some perl embedded in it.  The docs I found seem to indicate that I can use the Text::Template method of embedding perl, i.e., use '{}' to surround the code block, but that does not seem to work.  For a test, I just created a custom template with this (using Autoreplay as a example, but calling it "AutoTest":

Subject: AutoReply: {$Ticket->Subject}


Greetings,

This message has been automatically generated in response to the
creation of a trouble ticket regarding:
    "{$Ticket->Subject()}".

{print "This is a test\n";}

                        Thank you,
                        {$Ticket->QueueObj->CorrespondAddress()}

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
{$Transaction->Content()}

When I receive the reply from this template, where it should be printing out "This is a test", I just get "main::STDOUT".

Thanks-
Chuck C.
