[rt-users] RT Task Timer

[Tom Robinson]

Actually, looking at the code and the steps involved, it's a fairly
straight forward modification.

I've implemented the changes but it's not really what I was
expecting/wanting. (It has given me a bit of an insight into the
internal workings of RT, though). The code seems to only give me a
reporting feature.

What I'm actually looking for is a 'clickable' button that will
start/stop a timer. The timer will automatically log time against a
ticket I'm working on.

A few years ago, I used a bespoke implementation (java server pages) of
a task oriented project management system that had exactly this feature.
It worked a treat and saved a lot of time manually tracking the time
worked on a task and then filling in the box with the time.

Has anyone tried implementing such a feature and failed? I'd be
interested in making an attempt at this but I have very little
understanding of RT and my perl skills are quite limited.

Best Regards,

Tom
