[rt-users] RT 3.6.3; how to have queue-specific scrip override global?

[Maurice Chung]

Hi Gene (and Kenneth) -

The global scrip I want to override, executes 'On Create Autoreply To Requestors with template <name_of_our_template>' - which just sends an email on ticket creation.

I created a queue-specific template of the same name as above ("<name_of_our_template>") but rather than sending the reply email with the new, local template version, it doesn't send an email at all.

The one thing I'm wondering if it's the problem, is that the name of the global scrip that's being executed (the one referenced in the first paragraph above) has the same name as the template (both global and local) - could this be an issue?

If this doesn't pan out, we may try installing this patch:

Thanks again sirs!

ps. Turning off global scrips and reinstating them for each queue except the one, did occur to me, but seemed so inelegant =)  but I guess in the end if I have to go that route, I shall!

Hi Maurice,

If the global scrip is one that sends e-mail and you just want the to send 
a different e-mail, you can create a template of the same name in your 
queue.  Unlike scrips, queue templates override global templates of the 
same name.

If the global scrip doesn't send e-mail (like "On Correspond Open Tickets 
with template Blank") then you can change the condition of the global scrip 
to User Defined and then put the same condition into the Custom Condition 
area, but with an additional check for the queue you want to ignore.  This 
should work fine for a single queue, but it could become very ugly to 
maintain when you start add queues to your list of ones that particular 
scrips shouldn't apply to.  I ended up disabling all global scrips and 
putting what I needed in each queue.

A nice feature for global scrips would be a way of disabling them for 
specific queues - an exceptions list maybe.

Regards,
Gene
