bool shd_create_ticket_post ( array &$msgOptions, array &$ticketOptions, array &$posterOptions )
Creates a new ticket or reply in the database.

This function handles all of the creation of posts and tickets within SimpleDesk, even with respect to managing tickets spawned from forum topics being moved, as well as newly deleted tickets (formed as a split when replies are deleted). New tickets' contents as well as replies to tickets generally hold the same format.

All three parameters are by reference meaning they WILL be updated if things change. Note that this function is not validating that they are sensible values; it is up to the calling function to ascertain that.

Parameters

array  &$msgOptions

A hash array by reference, containing details of the post you wish to add.

• id: Not required on input (and is ignored) - and will be overwritten with the new message id when the function completes.
• body: Required string, the principle body content of the message to post. Assumed to have been cleaned already (with $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars'] and preparsecode)
• smileys_enabled: Optional, boolean denoting whether smileys should be active on this post; defaults to false
• time: Optional, timestamp of the post. If omitted, time() will be used instead (for "now" based on server clock)
• modified: Optional, hash array containing items relating to modification (if 'modified' key exists, all of these should be set)
  • time: Unsigned int timestamp of the change
  • name: String; user name of the user making the change; if omitted, modified will be ignored
  • id: Unsigned int user id of the user making the change; if not provided, id MUST be. If id isn't, or it doesn't exist, modified will be ignored entirely
• attachments: Optional, array of attachment ids that need attaching to this message; if omitted no changes will occur

array  &$ticketOptions

A hash array by reference, containing details of the ticket as a whole.

• id: Required if replying to a ticket, 0 if a new ticket (will default to 0 if not specified)
• mark_as_read: Optional boolean, whether to mark the ticket as read by the person posting it ($posterOptions['id'] is required to use this)
• subject: Semi-optional string with the new subject in; required for a new ticket, ignored if adding a reply. If set, assumed to have been cleaned already (with $smcFunc['htmlspecialchars'] and strtr)
• private: Semi-optional boolean with ticket privacy (true = private); required for a new ticket, ignored if adding a reply.
• status: Integer to denote new status of the ticket, defaults to TICKET_STATUS_NEW. Calling function to determine new status.
• urgency: Semi-optional integer with the ticket urgency; required for a new ticket, ignored if adding a reply. If not stated on a new ticket, TICKET_URGENCY_LOW will be used.
• assigned: Optional integer of user id, used to create a ticket with assignment, ignored if not a new ticket.

array  &$posterOptions

A hash array by reference, containing details of the person the reply is written by.

• id: User id to credit the post to. Uses 0 if not specified.
• ip: IP address the post came from. Uses the current user's IP address if not specified.
• name: Name to credit against the post. If not specified, and a user id was supplied, look that up in the member table, otherwise just use 'Guest'.
• email: Email address to list against the post. If not specified, and a user id was supplied, look that up in the member table, otherwise just use ''.

Return value

Returns a type bool. True on success, false on failure.

void shd_get_urgency_options ( [bool $self_ticket = false] )
Identifies the range of options that a user could have for ticket urgency and updates $context['ticket_form'] accordingly.

Ticket urgency permissions are checked, and an array is built suitable for $context['ticket_form'], which is the principle format used in the ticket posting/reply posting functions in SimpleDesk-Post.php.

There is no return function; $context['ticket_form']['urgency'] is updated, both the ['options'] and ['can_change'] keys may be modified.

Parameters

bool  $self_ticket

(default false) Permissions will be different for many users depending on whether it is one of their own tickets or not. This allows the code to state whether it is a ticket owned by the current user or not.

Return value

This function has no return value.

bool shd_modify_ticket_post ( array &$msgOptions, array &$ticketOptions, array &$posterOptions )
Updates a ticket/reply item in the database.

This function allows modification of all post/ticket details - and can be used independently; it is possible (and even done in SimpleDesk) to update just a ticket or just a post from this function. All three parameters are by reference meaning they WILL be updated if things change. Note that this function is not validating that they are sensible values; it is up to the calling function to ascertain that.
