Access UserLogin value from within custom TicketModule

[brandner]

I have a custom ticket module, and I am able to get the selected ticket ID using

Code: Select all

[% Data.TicketID | html %]

Does anyone know if it's possible to get other variables, such as the current UserLogin?
At first glance it seems that it is not possible, perhaps I would have to change Modules/AgentTicketZoom to add it, but not sure how.

Still struggling here. I thought that this might work, but I guess it isn't defined when I need it.

Code: Select all

[% Data.UserLogin %]

How can I get the UserLogin (username) value into my Ticket Menu Module link?

Flipping it around, one option is to get it via JS on the front end:

Code: Select all

console.log(Core.Config.Get('UserID'));

I'm not sure how reliable this is, but it is interesting to see the big JS packet of config data made available to the front end by OTRS.

I would much rather pass it in through my server-side code at Kernel/Output/HTML/TIcketMenu/mycode.pm

The .tt file can only access what the .pm files "gives" them. For UserID or Login however, there are enviroment variables. Try:

[% Env("UserID") %] or [% Env("UserLogin") %]
