NAME

RT::Extension::RichtextCustomField - CF with wysiwyg editor

DESCRIPTION

Provide a new type of custom field, similar to Text but with wysiwyg editor when editing value.

RT VERSION

Works with RT 4.2 or greater. Since RT 5.0.3, there is a new HTML type of CustomField which has the same role as this plugin, so it is useless from RT 5.0.3.

If you have install this plugin and want to migrate to RT 5.0.3, all you have to do is to add the following line to file /opt/rt5/etc/update/5.0.3/schema.Pg if your RT uses PostgreSQL database, or create /opt/rt5/etc/update/5.0.3/schema.mysql, /opt/rt5/etc/update/5.0.3/ or /opt/rt5/etc/update/5.0.3/ according to your RT database type, with this single line:

UPDATE CustomFields SET Type = 'HTML', EntryHint = 'Fill in one HTML area' WHERE Type = 'Richtext';

This will be processed by standard RT database upgrade with /opt/rt5/sbin/rt-setup-database --action upgrade.

INSTALLATION

perl Makefile.PL

make

make install

May need root permissions

Patch your RT

RichtextCustomField requires a small patch to allow custom fields with Richtext type to be chosen as recipient for extracting from a ticket into an article. You have to apply this patch if you need this feature, and only in this case.

For RT 4.4 or lower, apply the included patch:

cd /opt/rt5 # Your location may be different
patch -p1 < /download/dir/RT-Extension-RichtextCustomField/patches/4.4-add-Richtext-CFs-ExtractArticleFromTicket.patch

Edit your /opt/rt5/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm

If you are using RT 4.2 or greater, add this line:

Plugin('RT::Extension::RichtextCustomField');

For RT 4.0, add this line:

Set(@Plugins, qw(RT::Extension::RichtextCustomField));

or add RT::Extension::RichtextCustomField to your existing @Plugins line.

Clear your mason cache

rm -rf /opt/rt5/var/mason_data/obj
