I am trying helpdesk for the first time and am wondering how I can change the title of priority to urgency.. as everyone thinks theirs is the highest priority .

Also as I am in australia we use dd-mm-yyyy format.. I read in a post that this is not easily changed . Are there any plans to make this option ?

thanks Rick Saul

Hi,

All the language (text used) is in the "en.inc.php" file inside "language" folder, you can open it with notepad and find/replace any "Priority" to "Urgency". But thanks for the heads up, I'm not a native English speaker so...

As for the date, I will see if I can work something out in the next version, but can't give any promises or dates.

thanks for this.. for someone who does not speak english as a native language you have done a great job with helpdesk.

I have another issue. I have connected Helpdesk to a new install of mysql on my test machine but it took me a long time of blundering thru trying to figure it out.. Can you tell me how i can create a new mysql database that helpdesk can connect to. ? I have no idea where to start in order to create a new production version database.

regards Rick Saul

You'll have to check with your host to do that, it depends on the server setup. But most hosts have some sort of control panel where you can manage MySQL databases (among other things).

Klemen,

Any update on changing the date format (I'll also through timezone into the mix).

I just downloaded the current version (.94) but still don't see it.

I do notice that the date/time is called in using NOW(). Where is this defined?

Thanks,

The above comment was made for 0.94 so there was no new version yet Not sure when I will find time for doing (it's quite some work) it as I started writing my diploma and that's the top priority right now.

As for NOW(), that's a MySQL function:

Heres a quick little mod I did that will reformat the date any way you like This is a hardcoded change but it works well its only the output so it does not mess with what the db is looking for ...

Look for this line its in several hesk scripts that output dates/times
$ticket['lastchange']=hesk_formatDate($ticket['lastchange']);

One being
print_tickets.inc.php

And replace it with this ...

//DC Date format workaround
$date_format = "m/d/y h:i A";
$ticket['lastchange'] = date($date_format, strtotime($ticket['lastchange']));

then another version of this code I use in admin_ticket.php

//DC Date format workaround
$date_format = "m/d/y h:i A";
$created_on = date($date_format, strtotime($ticket['dt']));
$lastchange = date($date_format, strtotime($ticket['lastchange']));


Then scroll down a bit were you will see some table row code
Replace this ...

<tr>
<td>'.$hesklang['created_on'].': </td>
<td>'.$ticket['dt'].'</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>'.$hesklang['last_update'].': </td>
<td>'.$ticket['lastchange'].'</td>
</tr>

With this ...

<tr>
<td>'.$hesklang['created_on'].': </td>
<td>'.$created_on.'</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>'.$hesklang['last_update'].': </td>
<td>'.$lastchange.'</td>
</tr>


In this example it will output 12/10/07 2:43 AM

Thanks for this help. However, where exactly in admin_ticket.php do you place the following code?

then another version of this code I use in admin_ticket.php

//DC Date format workaround
$date_format = "m/d/y h:i A";
$created_on = date($date_format, strtotime($ticket['dt']));
$lastchange = date($date_format, strtotime($ticket['lastchange']));

Also, how do I change in admin_main.php so the "Date Posted" under "Find a Ticket by" is mm-dd-yyyy?

Any help is greatly appeciated...

Thanks!

Basically your just searching for the code that I listed and replacing it with my mod, is the problem that you cant find the code that matches? I thoght I had it pretty simplified if your still stuck il see what I can do ...

Always make a backup before trying any mods. I have tested this and it works well but do make a backup of your original before trying this mod ...

Yeah, I got everything up to the following, then I'm lost:

$created_on = date($date_format, strtotime($ticket['dt']));

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I couldn't find $ticket['lastchange']=hesk_formatDate($ticket['lastchange']); in admin_ticket.php.

Ok try this my version is modified a great deal so I cant really give you line numbers so try searching for this code block

Then right after that block of code add this ...


Then scroll down a bit where you will see some table row code
Replace this ... With this ...

Then last but not least look for
this line that starts our while loop
directly after that line add
Then you will see some other table code find this replace it with
That should get you to where you want to be ...
