[Phpgroupware-developers] TTS developement

[Chris Weiss]

Who is maintaining the TTS app?  I'd like to make a small change to it to
allow it to work better with other apps.  I propose adding 2 fields,
tts_refernce_app and tts_reference_id.  ticket_refernce_app would hold the
$GLOBALS['phpgw_info']['flags']['currentapp'] for the app that's linking into
it and ticket_reference_id would hold the id of the record in that app that
wants to link to TTS.

What this allows is for an app to create a TTS ticket and let TTS know what
app and what record in that app the ticket belongs to.  This would make it
easy for another app to do a join and show a ticket summary.  It could also
allow TTS to generate a link to that record in that app through a standard
interface.

I don't need a DCL or a Projects type app, all I need is a simple ticket
system to integrate to my app.  These fields could even be completely ignored
by the TTS interface and just allow an efficent way for other apps to link
into TTS.

Or is there a better way?  I thought about just creating a sub table to store
the TTS id and my id to do the joins, but without full transaction support
getting the ID back from TTS will not be reliable.
