I am currently working on an open source ticketing software named OsTicket. I am using OsTicket 1.7.0 and I have customized it a lot and all the customization are in the original source code of Osticket. So, Now I want to upgrade the version but It's little difficult becuase we customized the original source code of older version. So I don't want to make same mistake again. Is there any way I can customize Osticket without affecting the source code which will make it easier to upgrade.
You can use admin panel and maybe find some values in mysql database. But it will cover only some minor changes. If you want to do bigger modifications, you will apply them again after upgrade(because your version is quite old). There is no other way. In OsTicket 2, there will be more space to modify screens and other things in Admin panel.

I have an instance of ckeditor4-react running, but I want to add a control (such as a customised dropdown) of my own design.
The documentation largely talks about adding files to the node_modules folder, which makes sense in theory, but is going to be a problem for deployment when the build script runs npm i. For that matter, I would expect this to be a common problem.
So my question is, how do people usually work around this?
I need:
A way to develop the customisation (in a sandbox is fine).
A way to deploy it that doesn't involve too much specialisation of the existing deployment system.
First of all, I'm sorry if this is pretty stupid question for you, I was searching the web for the answer, but unfortunately couldn't find complex one.
Recently I discovered not so new, but still cool stuff like SCSS, Pug, LiveReload, Gulp and all that automation stuff. I was really blown away, cause I've been like in a cave for past 2-3 years. So, the development for me is pretty easy and fast now, but I've got problem with production of this.
So, for example, I have to develop WordPress site. One year ago, I'd just run local server, install WordPress there, then I create a new template and customize it for customer needs. After that, I'd upload all of that on web-server (for FTP stuff I use Filezilla, if there's better tools - point me, please) and than, if needed, I'd open desired files from "Edit" menu in Filezilla, customize them, save - and that it's done, I can see the result in browser. I don't need local copy of the web-site on my computer (since some web-sites nowadays are pretty 'heavy').
Now, I don't know what to do with that automation stuff, cause it's all running with console and has to be compiled. So, in order to develop complex CMS-driven web-sites using automation tools, I need to always have latest copy on my local machine, and that send it again on web-server? What if customer, for example, decides to change the article or something on the web-site, when I sync my local copy with web-server, it'll be lost.
So, my main question, is there a way for me to create WordPress website using Gulp & Co and then easily update it later, via FTP client?
I am learning MeanJS right now, watching a lot of video courses, but EVERYONE uses old version of MeanJS where is tottally different folder and files structure, that I have. It is very uncomfortable for noob like me.
Right now I am stuck at moment how to use custom css files.In every freaking video teachers modify all.js file. BUT I CAN'T FIND IT IN MY MEAN JS VERSION. I guess, they renamed it or something. Help me please. I just don't want to loose my sleep with this.
Instead of all.js, in the latest MEAN.JS version you can configure the assets to be used in the app in different stages (development, production, testing, etc). You just have to go to config/assets/ and edit the right file for your situation, probably default.js might be the one you're looking for. In that file you can add custom css files to be loaded into the app.
I am a rails backend developer and I am now working in a team with an HTML coder and I have some problems with information exchange.
I want him to generate all the HTML templates (haml, erb, whatever) and css files. But he has actually no clue on how to install ruby (and rails).
So, we are working now in this ugly workcycle when he puts all html's and css's in public, test them, and then I (myself) move them to correct place.
Is there a tool (for HTML codes) that mimics Rails rendering part so he will run this tool, which must be easy, and when the server starts, he can put all the templates to app/ and test them?
I see this as a small easy installable subset of rails, that only deal with page rendering.
If your coder still doesn't know how to install ruby or how to configure stuff for works , then I can say this is quite problematic . You either can try any cloud based IDE . Or , tools like git to get only raw stuff.
But , you also can look for someone who in minimum way will try to make the whole process possible by learning and installing ruby in their pc .
I had a similiar problem where a copywriter needed to play with the html and we ended up using Cloud9.
Cloud9 is a collaborative IDE in the cloud, IMHO It's pretty decent for small scale projects and can really get the job done.
I simply installed rails once and ran a local dev server and she did all the modifications and watced the preview.
Another option is to create a vagrant environment and preisntall rails there. This means the HTML coder would have to install a VM on his machine and run the vagrant there.
Once I saw a DB made in MS Access that worked as a normal program, i.e with an executable file that opened a beautiful UI and allowed access to the forms and reports. I've trying to do the same, I even googled but didn't find how do it. Anyone knows how to build such standalone App with Access?
You cant make an access database into an executable file. It just cant happen however you can fool people into thinking that they are not using access a number of ways, for example
Custom splash screen (just put a bmp
file in the folder and name it the
same as your database)
Hide the access window and toolbars
Change the access icon
For example take a look at this screen shot
There are lots of things going on here and it would be hard to tell that it is built using good old access 97 (Yes I know the standard toolbar kind of gives it away, it will be going at somepoint).
I believe the tool is called the Microsoft Access Runtime toolkit or something along those lines. The latest version is free, a departure from the previous versions which I believe you had to pay for. From the previous version I tinkered with, it comes with a tool to make a EXE file from the MDB or ACCB file, a handful of icons for the EXE to use if you are lacking one, and a program to help you generate Microsoft Help files for your application.
This is a link to the Developer Extensions - I believe the 2007 version of what I described above:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=D96A8358-ECE4-4BEE-A844-F81856DCEB67&displaylang=en
Here is a link for the runtime, which doesn't convert your Access database into an executable file, but would allow it to run on computers without Access installed:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=D9AE78D9-9DC6-4B38-9FA6-2C745A175AED&displaylang=en
NOTE: Both of these are for Access 2007, the version I run. Your version might require something different - but should be easily located on Microsoft's website.
If you want to fool the user in thinking that they are not using access it will take some ingenuity. I have done this. You will need a way to make nice 2D images that you will import into access, and then set them up like buttons, and give them functionality. Make sure you over lay them on a splash screen of some kind. Not sure if you know VBA but it will be needed.
At the end make sure you go in to the setting, and turn off anything that might allow the user to alter the form in any way. And then rename the file's extension like this: fileName.accdr
This is as close to a normal program that you are going to get, and remember it will only look as good as the art you put into it.
