Anybody now of a module for customer support tickets?
akael - January 27, 2009 - 01:58
I have done some searching, but can't really find any modules that do what I am looking for, so before contemplating development I thought I would ask here.
I need to have the ability to allow customers to submit support requests and track the status of their support requests. It would be nice if there are multiple employees for example that all work for the same company could see the other members of their companies support tickets, but I need to ensure that no other company can see the other members tickets.
If there are any ideas to get me started that would be great.

You could probably build this pretty easily with cck, views, rules and one of the access control modules or og. There's also a brand new module i haven't had a chance to look at yet: http://drupal.org/project/jobtrack.

there is also http://drupal.org/project/storm which could do similar things.
However, all the modules i've seen so far seem to be trying to solve too much of the problem and end up re-creating exsisting drupal functionality instead of using the exsisting modules. E.g. notification systems or group systems.
I would defiantly take a look at using OG + a few other modules to create a bespoke system.
in the same boat
I had originally installed Storm which is great but it's more of a project management solution so I now have Jobtrack which I like because of it's simplicity however it's not great for reports in terms of how long tickets have been open etc.
If anyone else has ideas I'd be grateful?

waaaaaah
Using combination of modules
Hello,
I am trying to do the same thing.
I am using these modules:
- tac_lite + content_taxonomy: Controls who has permission to which taxonomy terms, maybe in you case "taxonomy == clients". With the content_taxonomy, you have the taxonomy term as a cck field, which integrates with views and tac_lite. I control the access permisions per user, so each user has access permissions to one or many taxonomy terms (companies).
- content_access + node (core): Controls who has permission to which "Content types". I control the access permissions by rol. So each rol has access to create, view, edit or delete some content types. Here I´ve set "Give content node grants priority: -10". This way tac_lite permissions will be taken in account before content_access permissions.
- content_permissions (core): You can grant some permissions based on the CCK field.
- comment_cck: This works as a "ticketing" system. Now I am checking if this integrates with tac_lite and content_access modules.
Hope this helps.

Summary
Hi all,
I´ll put together all the information that I´ve gathered.
List of modules- Organic groups: http://drupal.org/project/og
- Storm: http://drupal.org/project/storm
- Jobstrack -> Support: http://drupal.org/project/support.
- Casetracker: http://drupal.org/project/casetracker
Here you have "Strom vs. Jobstrack" Article http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=8311.0
My finally choice is the combination of modules that I have commented before (in this thread) plus the calendar and date module to track my issues with a calendar. I´ve choosen this combination because it gives me more flexibility.
The only problem that I´ve found is the calendar that I´m using. It conflicts with the permissions, but only when I display the calendar when I am editing or creating a node that is using it. So I´ve restricted the Calendar block, to not be shown if this condition exists -> node/*/*
I am testing it, but it looks that it is working fine... so far.

Tac_Lite and Calendar Problem
Hello,
Doing more testing in this issue I have found that NOT everything is working fine.
Here is the situation:
With this situation, the user with Taxonomy-based acces set to public will see private nodes.
This is happening with this configuration:
Drupal 6.13; Calendar 6.x-2.1; Taxonomy Access Control Lite 6.x-1.3; CCK 6.x-2.4; Content Taxonomy 6.x-1.0-rc1; Date 6.x-2.x-dev.
The only work around I´ve found so far, is using relations and filters in the views using those relations.
I don´t know if the problem comes from tac_lite or from calendar or from myself... I will try to figured it out.

I would take a look at http://openatrium.com/ - may solve a lot of problems for you.
It is working fine, it was my fault
Here is the test:

It is working fine so far.

More test with Tac_lite and Content_access. Not working for me
Hello,
I have been doing more testing, and not everything is working as I expected.
Tac_lite + Content_access is not a good combination for me because as far as I´ve tested both modules only grant permissions and do not restrict them. So when one of them gives access to one node, it doesn´t matter what happens with the other, the user will have access.
I took a look at the openatrium and it looks good, but I didn´t get very deep so... can´t say anything yet.
