[rt-users] Global Config for "RT at a glance" not taking effect

[Kenneth Crocker]

Max,

Sounds like an interesting conundrum. I'll bite.

When you say individuals can change their *preferences* and they *DO* take
effect? But the Global defaults don't? *OR* are you saying the Global
defaults work but when you make *changes to those defaults* they don't take
effect?

Also, when you say you commented out the changes you made in RT_SiteConfig,
there are some settings you DO need, but they just need to be like they were
before you added the links part.

And one more thing, when you say you made changes to add these links, did
you have to create any *local* versions of a *directory/file*? If so, did
you make a copy of the original *local* *directory/file* before modifying
it? When I make changes for a local file, I always copy the share version
over. Then if I make further changes to the local file, I always rename the
older one file_old.html  (or whatever). That way I always preserve an
original set of code.

Looking forward to your answers.
