this is an excellent help desk system!

i paid about 500.00 for the one i use on my site now, though it does have a few features that yours does not.

the interface design looks great and the functioanlity is definately there!

great job!

The ability to handle automatic billing on all accounts on the server (e.g. llike billadmin)? he..he... just kidding! :D

Wow Kunal.... looks (functionality and design) pretty good! Congrats.... I can't demo the user interface though... :( can it track the number of hours/minutes spend by each tech from opening a support ticket to closing it? You know, sometimes people may pay his tech on hourly rate.

Again, looks good Kunal! What is the limitation on the free license? 25 users? What does it really mean? Can't hanve 25 support tickets open simultaneously?

cheers,
:beer:

Kunal, the website textfield on the freeware version request for download form is limited to only 15 characters. You may wish to change this.

ok guys.. there was a bug in the install file. I will be sending out updates to everyone who ordered it, in a few minutes.

Great Job!

I'd order it, but I'm using Ticketsmith and the fact that people can email support and have it entered has always been more appealing.

oops.. i thought i had addressed this issue.. my mystake...

The freeware script, lets you create 5user accounts.. not anymore...

you can have unlimited support tickets open... only the users wont be able to sign up after 5 have signed up

We're currently trialling this and its pretty good. I really like how easy it is to "blend" into the look of our website. However, I noticed one potential problem. It seems this is lacking a "forgot password" function - if a user forgets their password they should be able to have it emailed back to them.

Any thoughts?

kunal
05-02-2001, 02:25 PM
added.. it creates a new password and emails it to you..

Does the "Add New Tech" function OK for everyone else???? I just tried adding a tech to the support desk and it rejects the password. It also displays the following when I add the tech:

Password: 098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6

This is not the password I entered. :) Originally I thought this was some security gizmo but unfortunately when I go to enter the proper password, it rejects it. When I enter (hehe paste) the above password it also rejects it.

Any ideas?

Did you assign categories and priorities to the tech?
I had the same problem where my tech couldn't log in until I assigned him the categories (which u gotta make) and priorities, then it worked fine.

Also that password show is the MD5 string for the password hence it being encrypted.

OK that worked, thanks. Do the techs have access to all categories or just the one you assign them? It might be good to have an option to allow techs access to all categories.

Also multiple lines for the support desk signature would also be good.

I suggested to Kunal yesterday about having the ability to assign multiple categories/priorities at once to the tech so I think it will be included in a future version.

Until then, just go through it again and again adding categories/priorities to the tech - takes a while and is annoying, but soon everything will go to that tech =)

My tech (me) now gets all priorities (High, Medium, Low) and all categories (Billing, MySQL, Other etc) =)

Hey guys,
Yea.. ive been working on the assign all categories and priorities for one tech feature.

Another upcoming feature is a langauge translator :) If there is anyone here, who knows another language please let me know if you can help.
