Akeeba Ticket System 2.2.2 Stable

Released on: 2016-07-28 12:07 CDT

Release highlights

The Components menu item would sometimes disappear from the administrator back-end. We now trained it better so it will obey when we tell them to "Stay!".

Auto-replies would be sent repeatedly to the same ticket every time the client replied. We have disciplined the misbehaving robot and it will now only reply once per ticket.

Canned Replies would appear out of order in the front-end. Apparently most of you didn't appreciate the playful hide-and-seek mood of this bug... er... unexpected feature. Now all canned replies will appear in the sort order you've defined in the back-end of the component.

The following highlights refer to the entire 2.2.x release branch.

Work around Joomla 3.5/3.6 mail issues. If your site's Email From address in Global Configuration or your user's email address were malformed Joomla would crash when trying to send out emails. This could result in ticket/reply creation by email not working among other things. This is a backwards incompatible change in Joomla 3.5 and later that we have already reported to Joomla but they decided not to revert it. Therefore we are now working around it.

Small new features:

  • Redirect to login page when a guest user tries to file a new ticket.
  • User overridable templates for the Akeeba Ticket System - Tickets info module.
  • Custom sh404SEF plugin which generates the same kind of URLs as the Joomla! SEF router.
  • Non-SEF URLs generated by ATS 1.x are now automatically mapped and work with ATS 2.x
  • Plugin to displaying the user's avatar using the EasySocial user avatar
