Hello,
I am running the OSTicket version 1.9.14 on my server - with PHP5.5 and MySQL5.7.9, and I have two problems/issues.
I intend to use a different UI/UX for end-users to register and use the OSTicket UI for admins. For the agent, panel, while I am creating users, I wanted to add a few custom fields. I added these fields to the include/staff/templates/user.tmpl.php file. But I am not able to validate these fields, as it is not part of the form object.
I am aware that this is possible by adding fields in the Contact Information, but since I will not be using the default UI for users, it will be difficult to enter data in the form_values_entry table. Hence, I thought of modifying the user_account table. Is this the correct way to approach the issue - of adding and customizing user contact fields ?
Another problem, is the end user needs to "Approve" a ticket, before the admin can close this. But AFAIK OSTicket doesn't allow end users to change the ticket status. Is it possible to do so by modifying the php files ?
I hope I have explained the problem correctly and as per the forum standards.
Thank you!
Natasha
