This MOD will allow you to view the original email message headers. The headers also take alot of screen space so we have them “hidden” by default but you can click a link to expand and view them.

1.6ST: If you have not yet modified include/staff/viewticket.inc.php or scp/js/scp.js then you can simply download the following files and replace them. As always, make backups of your local files first.

I’m setting up another install of osTickets for another department (that needs a whole other server). In the process it was requested that they be able to change who the response address is incase they need to send it along to someone else or in order to include multiple addresses. The following is a simple MOD I came up with that seems to work as desired. As always please let me know if you have any questions or notice any problems.
This has been implemented with 1.6RC and 1.6ST and both are functional with the exact same code.

Note: This is for use with sending mail via the PHP mail function and is not intended or coded for use with SMTP sending.

include/class.ticket.php
Inside the postResponse function, just before the $sql variable add the following:

 $send_to = $_POST['send_to'];
$cc_to = $_POST['cc_to'];
$bcc_to = $_POST['bcc_to'];
$SENT = "To: $send_to\nCC: $cc_to\nBCC: $bcc_to\n\n";
$response = "$SENT$response";

Now find the following (still inside postResponse):

$body = str_replace('%response',$response,$body);

And below that line add the following line:

$body = str_replace("$SENT",'',$body);

At the bottom of the postResponse function. Find the following code and remove it:

if($email && $email->getId()) {
 $email->send($this->getEmail(),$subj,$body,$file);
 }

Now replace it with:

 // Just in case they wiped out the send address we still need to make sure it gets somewhere.
if($_POST['send_to']){
$email->send($_POST['send_to'],$subj,$body,$file);
}else{
$email->send($this->getEmail(),$subj,$body,$file);
}

Now we need to setup the actual behind the scenes emailing:
include/class.email.php
Find the following

$to=preg_replace("/(\r\n|\r|\n)/s",'', trim($to));

and just after that add:

// Make sure that tickets is sending via php mail function not smtp or this will not work.
$CC = $_POST['cc_to'];
$BCC = $_POST['bcc_to'];

Then just a bit further down we need to add to the headers of the email:

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject,
'Message-ID' =>'<'.Misc::randCode(6).''.time().'-'.$this->getEmail().'>',
'X-Mailer' =>'osTicket v 1.6',
'Content-Type' => 'text/html; charset="UTF-8"'
);

For ease of modding just remove all of that and replace it with this:

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Bcc' => $BCC,
'CC' => $CC,
'Subject' => $subject,
'Message-ID' =>'<'.Misc::randCode(6).''.time().'-'.$this->getEmail().'>',
'X-Mailer' =>'osTicket v 1.6',
'Content-Type' => 'text/html; charset="UTF-8"'
);

Ok, thats the functionality behind it all, now we just need to add the ability to use it…

include/staff/viewticket.inc.php
Search for the following:

<input type="hidden" name="a" value="reply">

Now just below that line add the following code:

<table>
<tr>
<td>To:</td><td><input size=80 type="text" name="send_to" value="<?=$ticket->getEmail()?>"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>CC:</td><td><input size=80 type="text" name="cc_to" ></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>BCC:</td><td><input size=80 type="text" name="bcc_to" ></td>
</tr>
</table>

The following picture shows the “To”, “CC” and “BCC” boxes that allows for changing or adding to the email address to send to. This is automatically filled in with the original email address of the ticket submitter. You can send to multiple email addresses by separating the emails with a comma (bob@example.com, bob2@example.com). Its also user proof… if someone wipes out the email address and doesn’t enter in anything then it will default to the original email address.

Well thats very nice but if we don’t note who we sent it to then we could be getting very confused. Please let us know where we sent what responses to. This note is added to the response database entry but is stripped before emailing the response to the customer.

This is a variation on webpragmatists original "Assigned To" MOD as seen on the osTicket forum.

The following is what I have for all of my entries. I will include one line prior to the code so you can search for where to enter it.

include/staff/tickets.inc.php
(Remember to comment out the original sortOptions)

//I admit this crap sucks…but who cares??
$sortOptions=array('date'=>'ticket.created','ID'=> 'ticketID','pri'=>'priority_urgency','dept'=>'dept_name','ass'=>'firstname');
//$sortOptions=array('date'=>'ticket.created','ID'=>'ticketID','pri'=>'priority_urgency','dept'=>'dept_name');

(Remember to comment out the first entry for qselect and qfrom)

$pagelimit=$pagelimit?$pagelimit:PAGE_LIMIT; //true default…if all fails.
$page=($_GET['p'] && is_numeric($_GET['p']))?$_GET['p']:1;
$qselect = 'SELECT DISTINCT ticket.ticket_id,lock_id,ticketID,ticket.dept_id,ticket.staff_id,subject,name,ticket.email,dept_name,staff.firstname,staff.lastname '.
',ticket.status,ticket.source,isoverdue,ticket.created,pri.*,count(attach.attach_id) as attachments ';
$qfrom=' FROM '.TICKET_TABLE.' ticket LEFT JOIN '.DEPT_TABLE.' dept ON ticket.dept_id=dept.dept_id '.
// ' LEFT JOIN '.TICKET_PRIORITY_TABLE.' pri ON ticket.priority_id=pri.priority_id '.
// ' LEFT JOIN '.TICKET_LOCK_TABLE.' tlock ON ticket.ticket_id=tlock.ticket_id AND tlock.expire>NOW() '.
' LEFT JOIN '.STAFF_TABLE.' staff ON ticket.staff_id=staff.staff_id';

<a href="tickets.php?sort=dept&order=<?=$negorder?><?=$qstr?>" title="Sort By Category <?=$negorder?>">Department</a></th>
<th width="150" ><a href="tickets.php?sort=ass&order=<?=$negorder?><?=$qstr?>" title="Sort By Assignee <?=$negorder?>">Assigned To</a></th>

<td nowrap><?=Format::truncate($row['dept_name'],30)?></td>
<td nowrap><?=($row['firstname']) ? $row['firstname'] : '&nbsp;';?> <?=($row['lastname']) ? $row['lastname'] : '';?></td>

You should now be able to refresh your Ticket page and have a nice "Assigned To" column. Give it a go!

Now you may notice that after you close a ticket that is assigned to someone that assignment gets removed. I have found this undesirable so we’ll edit the following

include/class.ticket.php
remove staff_id=0 from the following line:

$sql= 'UPDATE '.TICKET_TABLE.' SET status='.db_input('closed').',isoverdue=0,duedate=NULL,updated=NOW(),closed=NOW() '.

This will still make the ticket show up under "My Tickets" (even when closed) in order to get it to stop doing that (if you desire), then change the following entry from:
include/staff/tickets.inc.php

$qwhere.=' AND ticket.staff_id='.db_input($staffId);

to:

$qwhere.=' AND ticket.status="open" AND ticket.staff_id='.db_input($staffId);

You’ll also need to change the following (otherwise it will count that you have tickets assigned but won’t list them thus confusing everyone).
scp/tickets.php

'LEFT JOIN '.TICKET_TABLE.' assigned ON assigned.ticket_id=ticket.ticket_id AND assigned.staff_id='.db_input($thisuser->getId());

To:

'LEFT JOIN '.TICKET_TABLE.' assigned ON assigned.ticket_id=ticket.ticket_id AND ticket.status=\'open\' AND assigned.staff_id='.db_input($thisuser->getId());

If you are like me and like as many shortcuts as possible then you’ll like this next very simple MOD for osTicket.

Standard Install:

Modified default action:

First we want to get rid of the default action altogether as we don’t want to keep it around and have it end up as an alternate action (as it does nothing). Find the following code:

include/staff/viewticket.php

<option value="">Select Action</option>

And comment it out using PHP commenting syntax:

<!--<option value="">Select Action</option>-->

Then just find the action you want (Close Tickets in my example) and cut it from its current location and move it directly underneath your commented out "Select Action" line.

<!--<option value="">Select Action</option>-->
<?if($thisuser->canCloseTickets()){
//if you can close a ticket…reopening it is given.
if($ticket->isOpen()){?>
<option value="close" <?=$info['do']=='close'?'selected':''?> >Close Ticket</option>
<?}else{?>
<option value="reopen" <?=$info['do']=='reopen'?'selected':''?> >Reopen Ticket</option>
<?}
}?>

Make sure to get all the required ?> lines or you will run into trouble.

For some reason it was decided that if there are no open tickets then the ticket page should list all the Answered Tickets and then if there are none of those it should show all Closed tickets. This is highly confusing for everyone and we’re going to show you how to make it always show the Open Tickets page even when there are no open tickets.

scp/tickets.php

if($stats['open'])
$nav->addSubMenu(array('desc'=>'Open ('.$stats['open'].')','title'=>'Open Tickets', 'href'=>'tickets.php', 'iconclass'=>'Ticket'));

Essentially we want to get rid of the "if" statement and say to always show the “Open page” title/nav. So just modify it to look something like this:

// We don't want an if (there are tickets) we always want the open page up/available.
// if($stats['open'])
$nav->addSubMenu(array('desc'=>'Open ('.$stats['open'].')','title'=>'Open Tickets', 'href'=>'tickets.php', 'iconclass'=>'Ticket'));

Then remove or comment out the following so that we’ll always see the Open ticket page even if there are 0 open tickets:
include/staff/tickets.inc.php, replace

// This sucks but we need to switch queues on the fly! depending on stats fetched on the parent.
if($stats) {
if(!$stats['open'] && (!$status || $status=='open')){
if(!$cfg->showAnsweredTickets() && $stats['answered']) {
$status='open';
$showanswered=true;
$results_type='Answered Tickets';
}elseif(!$stats['answered']) { //no open or answered tickets (+-queue?) - show closed tickets.???
$status='closed';
$results_type='Closed Tickets';
}
}
}

with

// This sucks but we need to switch queues on the fly! depending on stats fetched on the parent.
if($stats) {
if(!$stats['open'] && (!$status)){
if(!$cfg->showAnsweredTickets() && $stats['answered']) {
$status='open';
$showanswered=true;
$results_type='Answered Tickets';
// HACKED //
// We want to show the Open tickets page even if there are no open tickets.
// }elseif(!$stats['answered']) { //no open or answered tickets (+-queue?) - show closed tickets.???
// $status='closed';
// $results_type='Closed Tickets';
}
}
}
