[rt-users] Help adding links to things

[Max McGrath]

Hi Andy -

Thanks for the reply.

I made the Links file, edited the RT_SiteConfig.pm file and restarted
apache.

When I get to the RT-at-a-glance under global config, I can see links in
there now.  But I add it to both RT at a glance:body AND RT at a
glance:summary, but I see nothing on my homepage.

Where you say <!-- insert some html links here --> I just added one normal
link for the time being:

<a href="http://server.domain.com" target=_blank>Server Link</a>

That's what you meant, right?

What am I missing here?

Also, can anyone explain the difference between the at a glance:body and at
a glance:summary?

Thanks!

Max
