Tickets + Firewalls

G'day, It would be great for people like me who are behind a firewall at work to be able to upload/download tickets from the web. I usually use the java version but that seems to be offline currently. Cheers, Naccas.

Well, you've got me there. Apart from the next release (pending my Windows emulation environment so I can build the Windows installer) my two top priorities are (or should be) getting the offline/ticket tools up and running and updating the Java version. I will keep you posted via this forum. Perhaps the ticket tools will be available in about a week.

Okay, done. It should work ok. The link is on the menu under tools. I will add the abandon ticket feature later... probably when hasselled by someone.

Here's the link.

Please provide me some feedback as to how well this works with the Windows version since I don't have Windows and have only tested it under UNIX/Linux.

Hi Wil,

Seems to work fine. Haven't given it a hard-core test though.

The ticket was initially named 'NewTicket.bd4' and BD4 looks for a file called 'ticket.bd4' so I just renamed it.

I've called it "newTicket.bd4" for the sake of people who run with a network. This prevents them from accidently overriding the ticket before checking the old one in. If you set up your browser (or I think it works by default) to let bd4 be the application for all "application/x-bd4" contents (or for Windows I think ".bd4" extensions are sufficient) it should configure the ticket for you.... ie it will search for the old one and if it finds it upload it (which will fail behind a firewall) and then put the new one in as "ticket.bd4". If you are behind a firewall you should just move the old one out of the way (then upload, etc) and be able to let it all happen automatically on checking out a new ticket. I will test later (once I have a Windows environment set up).

I see, excellent. Well it all works which is great for me at work.

Thanks again,
Naccas.
